Blocks impulse shopping with a tap challenge. InvestImpulse is the browser extension that fights impulse spending at its source - right there on the product page and redirects your focus toward saving and investing instead. We live in a world where online stores have made spending frictionless. One-click checkout. Free same-day shipping. Flash sales designed to create urgency. Every design choice is crafted to make you spend without thinking. InvestImpulse flips the script. When you land on a tempting product page, InvestImpulse doesn’t just gently suggest you think twice, it forces you to slow down. An overlay takes over the page, and the only way to remove it is to complete a small but irritating task: tap, click, or interact an obnoxious number of times before you can proceed. That pause is all it takes to give your rational brain time to kick in. In those seconds, you have a chance to ask yourself: Do I really want this… or would I rather invest this money? How InvestImpulse Works Install the Extension - No signup required. Shop Like Usual - Visit your favorite online stores. Hit the Wall - On product pages, an overlay may appear and blocks instant checkout. Complete the Click Challenge - It’s intentionally annoying, because friction kills impulse decisions. Make a Smarter Choice - Skip the purchase and keep your money… or go through with it, knowing you made a conscious decision. Why This Works Impulse buying is instant. By forcing a short delay, InvestImpulse breaks that split-second decision loop. Friction creates mindfulness. Studies show that making an action slightly harder drastically reduces the chance of doing it on impulse. Your money can grow. Every unmade purchase is money that could be saved or invested toward something that truly matters to you. Key Features 🛑 Obnoxious Click Challenge - Break the instant-buy habit by adding effort to every purchase attempt. 💰 Savings Tracker - See your “Total Saved” based on skipped purchases, so you know how much you’ve kept in your pocket. 🌐 Works Across Most Major Stores - Fashion, tech, home goods, beauty products, and more. Why You Need InvestImpulse Think about the last few things you bought online. Did you plan for them? Or were they spur-of-the-moment decisions fueled by an ad, a discount, or a wave of excitement? Those moments add up. That $40 gadget you never use. The $80 sneakers you wore twice. The $25 skincare set that’s now in the back of a drawer. With InvestImpulse, every product page is a checkpoint. You can still buy (we’re not here to stop you entirely) but you’ll think before you do. And often, that’s enough to keep your wallet (and future self) happier. Who It’s For Shoppers Who Want Control - You can browse without falling into the “add to cart” trap. Budget Builders - Stop overspending and redirect that money into savings. Investors in Training - Build the habit of asking “What could this money do if I invested it?” Minimalists - Reduce clutter and buy intentionally. What Makes InvestImpulse Different Unlike site blockers or budgeting apps that feel restrictive or complicated, InvestImpulse: Doesn’t stop you from browsing; only from buying too easily. Adds a fun, gamified challenge instead of just a warning message. Is designed to work passively without daily setup. Keeps you mindful of investing as an alternative to spending. The Results You’ll See More money in your account at the end of the month. Less clutter from random purchases you regret. Better investment habits. Reduced buyer’s remorse. FAQ Q: What if I really want to buy something? A: Go ahead — once you complete the challenge. If you’re willing to put in the effort, it’s probably a purchase you truly value. Q: Can I adjust the difficulty? A: No. Q: Does it work on all websites? A: It works on most major online shopping sites, and we’re constantly improving compatibility. Bottom Line InvestImpulse is more than a shopping deterrent - it’s a habit builder. By adding just enough friction to make you pause, it helps you choose between now spending and future wealth. Every time you skip a purchase, you’re not just saving money - you’re giving yourself the option to invest it in something that grows. Install InvestImpulse today. Stop impulse shopping.
