HoursTag: Stop Impulse Buying

HoursTag is an expense tracker that helps you stop impulse buying by showing what things really cost in hours of your work. Set your income once, enter any price and see it as work time, then tag it Need, Want or Impulse and watch your spending patterns appear.

HoursTag is an expense tracker that shows what things really cost: not in money, but in hours of your life. It works out your hourly wage and turns any price into the work hours it takes you to earn it.

A new pair of sneakers isn't just a price tag; it's half a day at work. Once you see money this way, you spend with clarity instead of regret.

How it works

More than an hourly wage calculator
Before you buy, check what it costs in hours. Over time, your Need, Want and Impulse tags show where your money and your work hours really go, and your wishlist shows how close each goal is in real work time. It is an expense tracker that changes how you decide, not just what you record.
