Inside the app
Retail therapy costs more than therapy.
You already know when it happens.
Payday. 1am. 11.11. Sale Armor shuts your shopping apps during the exact windows you overspend — then counts the money you didn't spend.

Your wallet does not need willpower.
It needs a door.
Be honest
Sale Armor shuts it before you get there.
Not spent
$1,284.00
Three things turned down in one month. That is the whole score — no streaks, no stars, nothing to keep up.
Pick your shopping apps and when to shut them: payday, 9pm–2am, weekends, 11.11, Black Friday, or any dates you choose. It arms and stands down on its own.
Still want it? Put it in Sale Armor instead of your basket — the name, the price, the link. It waits three days while the urge wears off.
After three days Sale Armor asks once: still worth it? Everything you turn down is added to your Not Spent total. That number is the whole score.
The schedules are built around spending risk, not screen time.
| Sale Armor | App blockers | Budgeting apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervenes | Before you buy | Around attention | After you spend |
| Schedules | Payday, sales, late night | Focus sessions | — |
| Success is | Money not spent | Screen time down | Knowing where it went |
| Bank access | Never | — | Required |
| Account needed | No | Usually | Yes |
Sale Armor is not a budgeting app. It never connects to your bank, imports a transaction or categorises a purchase. Budgeting apps tell you where your money went. This one stops it leaving.
iOS hands Sale Armor a sealed token it cannot read, so the app never learns which apps you blocked. That is a limit of the system, not a promise about careful handling. No account, no analytics, no ads, and nothing leaves your phone except whether you've paid.
No streaks. No goals. No notification telling you you've slipped — only one question, three days after you park something.
Every tier unlocks the whole app. They differ only in how long they last.
