A 48-hour pause button for impulse buys
Instead of a spending limit, Anzi gives a want time to cool down, then asks if it still matters. What you let go is counted as “not spent by waiting”.

Anzi, in short
Copy these as they are, or rewrite them in your own words.
In one line
Anzi is a five-second journal for the things you buy: each morning it asks how yesterday's purchases felt. Joy, meh or regret.
In a paragraph
Most money apps tell you what you spent. Anzi asks whether it was worth it. Each morning it shows what you bought the day before and asks one question, answered with one of three emojis: joy, meh or regret. Over a few weeks, people see which purchases really make them happy, without budgets, categories or a bank connection. A “Wait on it” button parks something you want for 48 hours or 7 days before you buy it, and return reminders flag the last days to send something back. Everything stays on the phone: no account, no servers, no analytics. Anzi is free on iPhone and Android, in nine languages.

What it does
Everything below is in the app today.
- The morning question. Each of yesterday's purchases, rated joy, meh or regret. About five seconds.
- Wait on it. Park a want for 48 hours or 7 days. When the time is up: “Still want it?” A running total shows what wasn't spent by waiting.
- Return reminders. Two days before a return deadline, and on the last day.
- Memories. Twice a week, a past joy or regret comes back: “Do you remember this?”
- Week and month summaries. Day by day, split into joy, meh and regret, and shareable as a picture for Stories.
- Auto-log on Android. Payment notifications from bank and wallet apps become purchases to add with one tap. They're read on the phone and never sent anywhere.
- Little things. Home-screen widgets, photos of what you bought, backups to a file, CSV export.
- Private by design. No sign-up, nothing to connect, nothing collected.
Story ideas
Happy to talk about any of these, or anything else.
The anti-budget
No categories, no limits, no red numbers. Anzi asks how a purchase felt the morning after, when the excitement has worn off and the answer is honest.
A money app that knows nothing about you
No account, no servers, no bank link. Even Auto-log, which reads payment notifications, does it on the phone, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Your year in purchases, rated
Which buys were still worth it months later? Anzi's memories and summaries make an end-of-year look back, and a calmer start to the new year.
