What is Miss Spent?
Miss Spent is an impulse spending app for iPhone that interrupts the purchase before you make it. Send a temptation from any store via the share sheet, sit through a cooling-off period, and decide later whether the want survived.
Miss Spent
Save what you don't buy.
An impulse spending app for iPhone that puts a cooling-off period between temptation and checkout, then tallies the money you kept.
iPhone · No account · Private iCloud · Free core loop · Optional $19.99 lifetime unlock
Put time between wanting and buying.
- Capture from any store
- Send a temptation to Miss Spent from any store via the iPhone share sheet. Add the price, notes or a photo while the wanting is fresh.
- The cooling-off period
- Miss Spent puts the temptation on ice. When the wait is up, it brings you back to the decision instead of letting checkout make it for you.
- The Reckoning and the Stash
- Rule on whether the want survived. If you pass, the amount goes into the Stash, a running tally of money kept.
- Private iCloud mirror
- Your ledger and evidence remain usable on device and mirror automatically to your own private iCloud database, so the record can follow you to another iPhone without a Neon Tiger Labs account or content backend.
- Home and Lock Screen widgets
- Miss Spent can surface the Stash, the cooling pile, and the ready docket in widgets, with privacy-conscious presentation where the numbers should stay discreet.
- No account, no subscription
- Miss Spent works without sign-up, login, or email. The core loop is always free; the optional unlock is $19.99 once, never a subscription.
Miss Spent 1.1 adds private iCloud and widgets.
Version 1.1 mirrors the ledger automatically to the user's private iCloud database and adds Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for the Stash, cooling pile, and ready docket. Capture still works offline, and the share sheet still hands a temptation into the same Capture → Pause → Reckoning → Stash loop.
What people usually want to know
How does Miss Spent work?
Capture a temptation, pause it through a cooling-off period, then make the call at the Reckoning. Every declined purchase is added to the Stash, a running tally of money kept.
Does Miss Spent require an account?
No. Miss Spent works without sign-up, login, or email. Your temptations, amounts, notes and photos are stored on device and can mirror automatically to your own private iCloud database.
How much does Miss Spent cost?
Miss Spent is a free download and the core loop is never paywalled. A $19.99 one-time unlock adds a second visual theme, a second voice register and Ledger export. It is never a subscription.
Does Miss Spent collect analytics?
Miss Spent sends anonymous product-use signals through TelemetryDeck by default so we can see which features get used. They never include items, amounts, notes, source URLs or images, and you can turn them off in Settings. This is not tracking: there is no advertising identifier, no third-party sharing, and nothing is linked to your activity in other apps.
Does Miss Spent upload my spending data?
No Neon Tiger Labs server holds your temptations or spending notes. Miss Spent keeps the working ledger on device and mirrors it automatically to your own private iCloud database; anonymous product analytics are a separate, opt-out measurement channel and do not contain your item content.
The pause is free. The upgrade is one time.
Miss Spent is on the App Store. The product site at misspent.app carries the full product story, current release details, privacy policy, and support.
