A mindful spending app built around one question
Shopping Detox is for rethinking everyday spending habits. These are the features shown in its App Store screenshots.
Sharp, calm comments before you buy
Advice cards ask questions like "Is this really solving a problem, or just a shiny new toy?" and let you mark each one as Effective or Not Effective.
Just upload a screenshot
Take a screenshot of the product page, then pick it from your gallery in the app. No typing in prices or item names.
Celebrate your savings
When you decide not to buy, the app shows a celebration screen and a Share Result button so you can tell others about it.
The welcome screen opens with the question "Do you really need it?" and says the AI mentors give advice to help you control impulse purchases.
