Impulse Spending App
For the moment you are about to buy and want a better next step than checkout.
- Log the urge and the amount
- Use a wait timer when the purchase feels urgent
- Turn resisted purchases into visible savings

Dopamine-Friendly Progress
XP, levels, streaks, and achievements make the save feel concrete instead of invisible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just another budget app?
No. ImpulseLog is built for the moment before a purchase. It helps you pause, log, plan, and learn from almost-buys instead of only reviewing transactions after the fact.
How does the mood tracking work?
You can log mood, notes, category, and optional place context with resisted purchases or pending decisions. Premium insights then help surface patterns, weekly summaries, and practical recommendations.
Is my financial data secure?
We use encrypted connections, Firebase-managed infrastructure, and privacy-focused handling practices. We do not sell your data, and you can export or delete your data anytime.
What makes this different from Mint or YNAB?
ImpulseLog is built for neurodivergent minds with quick logging, visual progress, wait timers, shopping lists, and dopamine-friendly gamification. It is focused on impulse spending, not full household budgeting.
Does ImpulseLog track my location all the time?
No. Place context is optional and used when you choose to add a place to a save, purchase, or shopping list. It is designed to help you understand store patterns, not to run background tracking.
