Spend or Swipe

Spend or Swipe is a lightweight Chrome extension that interrupts your shopping habits at the exact moment you're about to make a purchase. Instead of mindlessly clicking “Buy Now,” you get a quick reality check: - Do you actually need this? - How often will you use it? - Are you buying this out of boredom, stress, or habit? How it works: When you’re browsing shopping sites, Spend or Swipe prompts you with a simple decision: - Spend → go ahead, no friction - Swipe → skip it, move on instantly No budgets. No spreadsheets. No guilt-tripping dashboards. Just a fast pause that helps you make better decisions in the moment. Why it works: Most spending mistakes aren’t about money, they’re about impulse. This extension targets that exact moment and gives you just enough friction to think. Who it’s for: - People trying to cut unnecessary spending - Anyone tired of regret purchases - Students or young professionals building better habits
