Wait 24h

A deep breath before you buy

Wait 24h is a free Chrome extension that adds a pause before impulse purchases. When you click "Buy now" or "Add to cart" on a supported shop, a small overlay asks whether you really need it. Sleep on it, then decide with a clear head.

Add to Chrome — it's free

Free, no ads, no accounts. Works in Chrome.

How it works

On a buy button, Wait 24h shows three choices:

  1. Remind me tomorrowSaves the item and nudges you later. Nothing is counted as saved.
  2. I need this, continueCarry on with your purchase, no fuss.
  3. Never mind, I'll skip itYou decided to skip it, so the amount is added to your savings.

Savings are counted only when you confirm a skip, never guessed, and are tracked per currency. Reminders arrive after 12, 24 or 48 hours, your choice.
