## About

84% of people make impulse purchases. The average person spends $150/month on things they didn't plan to buy. Buy Blocker helps you keep that money.

What it does

Buy Blocker is a free Chrome extension that intercepts "Add to Cart" and "Buy Now" buttons on any shopping site. When you click, a popup appears asking: "Do you really want this?"

Your options:

- ✅ Continue to checkout

- 💾 Save for later

- 🗑️ Trash it

Extra friction modes

Want to make impulse buying even harder? Enable optional modes:

- 🧘 Box Breathing - Complete a calming breathing exercise before you can continue. Slows you down and clears your head.

- 🧮 Math Mode - Solve a math question first. Engages your rational brain before spending.

Why it works

That small pause breaks the impulse. No complicated budgeting apps, no blocked websites. Just a moment to think.
