Impause uses behavioral psychology and gamification to help people stop impulse spending. Think Noom, but for money.

Budgeting apps are like diets — they tell you what to restrict but don't change the behavior. That's why most people quit them in weeks.

Impause takes the model Noom proved for weight loss (micro-lessons, gamification, habit streaks) and applies it to spending. The app connects to bank accounts via Plaid. Users take a spending personality quiz to map their triggers, rate purchases, track regret patterns, and work through CBT-based coaching modules. Instead of showing you a budget you already blew, Impause surfaces why you blew it.
