Buy Me Later
Pause before buying

You can buy it.
Just not right now.

Put a purchase on pause, come back later, and decide with a clearer mind.

Buy Me Later adds a little space between wanting something and paying for it.

Coming soon on the App Store

Android coming soon

Add item → Pause → Reflect → Decide

Give the decision some time

Impulse purchases often feel reasonable in the moment. A day later, the same purchase can feel different. Buy Me Later gives the decision some time.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add item

    Save the item, price, and why you want it.

  2. 2

    Set pause

    Choose a delay before making the decision.

  3. 3

    Reflect later

    Get a gentle reminder when the pause ends.

  4. 4

    Decide

    Buy, skip, postpone, or move it to wishlist.

Built for the moment before buying

Buy Me Later is focused on the decision before purchase. If something still feels worth buying after the pause, you can keep it for later.

Your purchase ideas stay on your device

  • Local notifications
  • Website uses no cookies or analytics tools
  • Purchases are handled by Apple in the iOS app

See what you decided not to buy

After you skip a purchase in the app, that amount can appear in your local stats.

Everything shown here is an example. Buy Me Later does not know what you buy or skip — those decisions stay in the app on your device.

Premium will be available in the iOS app

Buy Me Later will offer Premium through Apple In-App Purchases. The App Store purchase sheet will show the current price, trial details, renewal terms, and cancellation information before you confirm.

  • Unlimited purchase pauses
  • Premium One-Time Unlock option
  • Monthly subscription option
  • Restore purchases in the app

Prices may vary by region and will be shown in the App Store before purchase.

Frequently asked questions

What does Buy Me Later actually do?

It helps you pause before buying. You add an item, choose a delay, get reminded later, and decide with a clearer mind.

Is this a wishlist?

Buy Me Later is focused on the pause before buying. The wishlist is only for items you still want after the pause.

Does it track my bank account or spending?

No. The MVP does not connect to your bank and does not track your full budget.

Where is my data stored?

In the MVP, your items, photos, pauses, and decisions are stored locally on your device.

Can I change the pause duration?

Yes. You can choose from the available pause options in the app. If you postpone a decision, you can delay it again.

What happens if I buy the item anyway?

That's okay. Buying after a pause is still a more conscious decision than buying at the peak of the impulse.

How are purchases and refunds handled?

Premium purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Refund requests are handled by Apple according to App Store rules.

Is Android available?

Android is coming later. The first release is focused on iOS.
