A third option between buy and abandon

Want it?
Pause it.

Capture the satisfaction of finding it—without completing the purchase. Come back when urgency is no longer making the decision.

THE IDEA

Don’t fight the desire.
Give it somewhere to go.

Most tools create a battle: buy it or lose it. PAUSE creates space between wanting and acting. The item isn’t gone. The decision isn’t gone. It simply stops being urgent.

You don’t need to decide yet.

COOLING-OFF TIME

ONE CLICK. THEN SPACE.

The whole loop.

01

Capture

PAUSE reads the product only when you click the extension.

02

Pause

Choose ten minutes, an hour, tomorrow, or a week.

03

Cool off

The object stays. The urgency gets space to change.

04

Decide

Buy it, wait longer, or let it go—without judgment.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Watch it happen.

Forty seconds, start to finish: capture something you want, let the urgency cool, and decide once it has passed.

EXPERIMENTAL · OPT-IN

Complete the feeling.
Not the transaction.

Ghost Checkout recreates the satisfying end of a shopping ritual while disconnecting it from payment, shipping, and an actual order.

A behavioral product hypothesis—not a medical treatment claim.

THE RETURN MATTERS MOST

Your decision.
No judgment.

PAUSE never celebrates deprivation or shames a purchase. If you still want it, go back. If not, release it. Either way, the decision is yours—not the impulse’s.

YOUR VAULT BECOMES A MUSEUM

Watch your desires
change over time.

PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT

Only you see
what you pause.

PAUSE does not monitor shopping. It wakes only when you click it, captures only that product, and stores everything locally in your browser.

What it never sees

Browsing history, passwords, payment details, or everything else you shop for.
