About the App
Buy Later helps prevent impulse purchases in today's modern online shopping environment.
Have you ever spontaneously bought something and then a few days later realized you didn't actually want or need it?
It can be easy to open an app and buy something in under a minute. Buy Later is designed to create a buffer in that moment. The app provides a minimal, clean interface where you can list things you want as you think of them - once they make it through the fixed hold period, you can safely buy them (if you still think it's a good idea).
Features
- Minimalist user interface
- Fixed 10, 20, or 30 day hold period
- Notifications when an item's timer completes (optional)
- 100% ad-free, no sign-in, and no accounts
- Private: all data lives on your device - nothing is ever transmitted or retained
System Requirements
- iPhone iOS 14.0 or later
Frequently Asked Questions
- Where is my data stored?
- All data is stored locally on your device and is not accessible anywhere else. If you delete the app, all data is lost.
Privacy Policy
Buy Later is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information.
Data Storage
All information is saved in secure on-device storage on your device.
Usage Ping
When the app launches, it sends a single anonymous "ping" to our feedback service so we can gauge how many
times the app is opened. This request contains only a fixed source label identifying the app
(example-app-ios); it includes no account, no personal information, and none of your task content. It
cannot be used to track or identify you across apps or over time. It is equivalent to trying to go to the url https://feedback.k1apps.dev/ping?source=example-app-ios.
Example of a ping:
useEffect(() => {
fetch("https://feedback.k1apps.dev/ping?source=example-app-ios", {
method: "GET",
}).catch(() => {});
}, []);
Feedback Submissions
The app includes an optional feedback form. Nothing is sent unless you fill it out and tap Send. When you do, your typed message is delivered to the developer along with a small amount of technical info to help diagnose issues:
- your message text
- your email address - only if you choose to enter one for a reply (otherwise none is sent)
- the app version and build number
- your device model and iOS version
Your tasks, generators, and other in-app data are never included. Feedback you submit is retained by the developer so we can read and respond to it.
