Before your next purchase

Give yourself time before you order.

01

Share a product

Found something in an online store? Share the link with HoldBuy. The app tries to fill in the name, image, and price for you.

02

Let it wait

Save it to your waiting cart. Choose a waiting period of 24, 48, or 72 hours, or a week.

03

Decide in your own time

Do you still want it? Where will you keep it? How often will you use it? Write down your thoughts and come back to them later.

After you buy

Keep track of
what you already own.

Some things get used every day. Others sit in a drawer. Your inventory helps you keep track of your purchases and see what you actually use and enjoy.

  • Log a use with one tap
  • See the cost per use
  • Rate how much you enjoy an item
  • Keep receipts with the right product

See what you didn’t spend.

Decided not to buy something? Record that choice. HoldBuy adds up the prices of the purchases you marked as skipped over the last 30 days, based on your entries.

Keep it in sight.

Add quotes about saving or your 30-day total to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. For your no-buy plans, or simply to help you shop less day to day.
