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 buy them (if you still think it's a good idea).
