About the App

Buy Later helps prevent impulse purchases in today's modern online shopping environment.

Have you ever spontaneously bought something and then 3 days later realized you didn't actually want or need it?

It can be easy to open an app and buy something in a minute or less. Buy Later is designed to create a buffer in that minute. The app provides a minimal, clean interface where you can list things you want as you think of them, and then once they make it through the fixed 30 day hold period, can be bought (if you still think its a good idea).
