Not Yet: Checkout Blocker

A pause before every purchase. Think first, then decide.

A pause before checkout. Retype a code, answer a prompt, or wait it out, before a purchase goes through. Free, no account, no server. Not Yet pauses you at the one moment that matters: right before you buy. Whether you struggle with impulse buys, doomscroll product pages, stick to a budget, or just want to shop more mindfully, Not Yet catches a checkout or payment page and gives you a real pause before the purchase goes through. The moment you land on a checkout or payment page, Not Yet recognizes it automatically and steps in. You retype a freshly generated code, character for character, before you can continue. Nothing is cached or reused: reload the page and you get a brand new code. If typing a code isn't the friction that works for you, switch to a short reflection prompt in your own words, or a plain wait timer instead, picked once in Settings. This isn't a countdown you can wait out without thinking, and it isn't a snooze button you tap through on autopilot. It's a genuine pause, every single time, right at the moment an impulse would otherwise turn into a purchase. Every block screen also gives you somewhere to go instead of buying: your own Quiet Place, with a short mood check-in and a few activities to do instead of shopping. It's free, always. What's included, all of it free on Chrome: Automatic checkout and payment detection. Nothing to configure per site 13 built-in categories, plus your own custom sites and whole-site blocks A dedicated, opt-in category for gambling and betting sites, with real precedent (Gamban, BetBlocker) The typed-code unlock, and your choice of reflection prompt or wait timer instead Your own Quiet Place: mood check-in, activities, and a layout you can rearrange Basic stats: how many times you've paused, and what you chose not to spend Four calm color themes. No red, no alarm palette, anywhere Experimental wallet and Buy Now, Pay Later button matching (Apple Pay, Klarna, and similar) Built with a strict privacy rule: nothing is ever collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. There's no server behind this extension at all, on purpose. Every setting, every counter, and your PIN, if you set one, stay on your own device. Full Privacy Policy at notyetcb.com/privacy. One real limit, stated upfront: Incognito windows keep every extension out by default, this one included. Settings walks you through turning that back on for Not Yet specifically, in a couple clicks. Not Yet is also available on Safari for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, where an optional Premium tier adds Guard Mode, custom themes, a photo pinboard, and a full recap page. Chrome's free tier is the complete product here, not a locked demo. Not Yet is a pause and friction tool, not a treatment program. If you're dealing with compulsive spending or gambling and need more than a pause, please talk to a qualified professional or a relevant support organization.
