About On Ice: Pause Before You Buy
You don't need another budget app. You need something between you and the checkout button. On Ice catches the moment you're about to buy something you don't need, and slows it down. SCREENSHOT THE THING On Ice reads the price on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. PUT IT IN THE FREEZER It sits there instead of in your cart. In two weeks we'll ask whether you still want it. Most of the time, you won't. OR GO SHOPPING ANYWAY — FOR FREE The Fake Store is a whole simulated shopping app. Add to cart, check out, watch it ship, open the box. The urge is often about the ritual, not the object. So have the ritual. Keep the money. You can also run My Wish Shop: be the boss, pick a photo from your album, name it, set a price, and put it on your shelf. Simulated only — no real charge, no shipping. LOCK THE REAL APPS Built on Apple's Screen Time. Pick the apps, pick how long. No app on iOS can truly lock you out — this one catches the three-second slip, not your resolve. TALK TO CALM BEAR A coach that reads back what you wrote instead of lecturing you. It never tells you whether to buy. WATCH IT ADD UP Every thing you didn't buy becomes a number. That number becomes something you actually wanted. On Ice does not connect to your bank, does not read your messages, and does not send your screenshots anywhere. Almost everything stays on your phone. CALM CHECK-IN One tap a day for how today went. Calm or held-off days count; buying doesn’t break the honesty framing — see how many calm days you had this month. Membership Free to download; core features work on their own. Membership includes monthly, yearly, and lifetime options. Prices and benefits are shown on the in-app paywall. Subscriptions (monthly / yearly) renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not auto-renew.
