About Griotta: Stop Impulse Spending
Buying has become almost frictionless. Griotta gives you a moment to think before speed makes the decision for you. Choose the shopping apps where you want a pause. When you try to open one, Griotta steps in first and gives the urge a little time to slow down. Then the choice is yours: Walk away: you changed your mind. Plan it: give yourself more time and come back later. Buy now: you still want it. None of these choices is wrong. Griotta isn’t designed to stop you from spending. It’s designed to make the decision more intentional. See your patterns Your Journal keeps a private record of the moments you paused, so you can start noticing what tends to trigger an impulse and what you actually choose afterward. Built around privacy No bank connection No transaction monitoring No merchant, cart, or item tracking No account required Griotta cannot see which selected shopping app triggered a pause Spending less isn’t always the goal. Sometimes the useful thing is simply creating a little space between wanting something and buying it.
