How it works
Halt stays invisible until the moment of weakness. Drop a purchase into our web app for a one-off gut-check, or install the extension to intercept every checkout automatically — same math, same friction.
Part 01 · Web app
Log any purchase by hand in halt.money — name, price, and need-or-want. Three steps, no install, free forever.
What are you buying?
How much?
Need or want?
Type the item, enter the price, tag it Need or Want. That's the whole form — no link parsing, no account, no friction beyond the math.
— impulse score —
High impulse
Your hourly rate, the need-or-want flag, and how big a bite the price takes out of your month all roll into one 0–100 score that says how impulsive this really is.

Buy anyway
Logged in your spend journal
High-impulse buys get a mandatory pause. You can wait, save it for later, or push through — but every choice is logged for your monthly review.
Part 02 · Extension
For when typing it out feels like too much work. Install once and Halt steps in automatically every time a checkout begins.
Halt sits quietly in your browser until the moment of weakness. The instant a checkout begins, the extension pauses the page, runs the score, and hands the decision back to you — without ever leaving the site.
