About Spense - Mindful Spending
Stop Impulse Buying. Build Wealth. Master Your Wallet. Want to buy something? Wait first, decide later! Spense helps you control impulsive purchases by distinguishing between what you truly need and a fleeting desire. Save your money and avoid regret using the scientifically proven "cooling-off period" method. WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 1.2 Interactive Charts: Stats just got livelier! Tap on pie charts to highlight categories and see spending details instantly. Smart Notifications: Stay focused with weekly summaries and motivation notifications that keep you on track. HOW IT WORKS? Add What You Want: Enter the item name, price, and category. Add it to your waiting list instead of buying it immediately. Set Your Rules: Choose a standard waiting period (24h, 3d, 7d) or set your own. Add a note: "Why do I want this?" Wait & Reflect: Let your emotions settle. During the waiting period, Spense offers alternative scenarios and suggestions like "What else could I do with this money?" See the True Cost: Use the Salary-Based Calculator to see the item's true cost on your life energy. "Is this gadget worth 3 days of work?" Decide Consciously: When the time is up, make your decision: Buy or Save. Track your success and watch your savings grow!

Visual Insights: Monthly trends, category performance charts, and success analysis. iCloud Sync: Seamlessly and securely sync your data across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
