Our Apps
Need It? — Think before you buy.
An impulse control app that puts a timer between you and your next purchase. Add an item, set your income once, and let the app tell you when you've waited long enough to decide clearly.
Need it ?
A smarter way to spend
You see something you want. You open Need It. You add it. Then you wait.
Need It calculates a timeout based on the item's price and your monthly income. When the timer runs out, the app asks you one question: do you actually need it? Buy it and it's off the list. Skip it and you keep the money.
