Impulse Vault

A 72-hour cooling-off period between wanting something and buying it. Every "no" adds to your Saved Stack.

Most online purchases you regret weren't decisions. They were autopilot: a good photo, a countdown timer, "only 2 left", and a checkout designed to take four seconds. Impulse Vault puts 72 hours between wanting something and buying it. HOW IT WORKS • Vault it. On a product page, click "Vault it" next to Add to Cart. Write one line about why you want it. The item drops into your vault. • Wait. For the next 72 hours the buy button is locked. You can still look at the page, read reviews, check the price. Checkout stays closed. • Decide. When the timer ends, you get one question: do you still want this? "Yes" opens the page. "No" adds the price to your Saved Stack. • Watch it grow. Every "no" is money that stayed yours. The stack never goes down, and buying something later doesn't take anything back. Buying after the wait isn't failure. Three days of wanting something is a real signal, and the system worked. WHAT'S IN THE BOX • Works on major shopping sites out of the box • Optional: turn it on for any online store, including independent and brand-owned shops • Cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 72 hours or 7 days, chosen per item • Price check when the timer ends: see whether it dropped or went up while you waited • One-click decisions straight from the notification • Milestones you can label in your own words ("that's two months of groceries") • Quiet hours, light and dark mode, full keyboard support YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL Need something now? "Unlock early" is always there. You write a sentence about why it can't wait, then take a 20-second pause. That's enough to break autopilot, and never enough to trap you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays in your browser. No account, no server, no sync, no analytics, and no affiliate links. Impulse Vault makes no money when you buy, so it has no reason to nudge you toward buying. Export or delete all your data at any time. WHY IT NEEDS THESE PERMISSIONS Impulse Vault reads the product page you vault (title, price and image) and redirects that product's page and the store's checkout while it cools off. It only asks for access to sites beyond the built-in stores when you choose to lock them.
