Items saved to wishlist every day — most never bought

Three steps to clarity.

01
Add any item
Paste a link from any online shop or add items manually. CutCut reads the name, price, and image automatically.
02
Wait it out
A personalised cooling-off period begins. The bigger the price, the longer you wait. No cheating.
03
Decide freely
After the wait, you see the item with fresh eyes. Buy it guilt-free, or pass — and pocket the savings.

Everything you need to stop buying regrets.

Decision Time
"Do you still want this?"
After the wait, CutCut puts you face-to-face with the item again. Two choices: I'll pass, or Buy it. No algorithms. Just you.

Stop impulse buys before they even start.

Before an item enters your waitlist, the Circuit Breaker fires honest, uncomfortable questions at you. It's not punishment — it's a mirror.

How often will you use this in the next 6 months?
Do you already own something similar?
Is this a want or a genuine need?
Would you still want it in 30 days?

★★★★★

"I've struggled with compulsive shopping for years. CutCut is the first thing that actually slows me down. The Circuit Breaker questions are uncomfortably honest — and that's exactly what I needed."

Sarah M. @sarahspends
★★★★★

"Saved me from buying a €400 jacket I didn't need. It was in the app for 10 days and by the time the cooldown ended, I couldn't even remember why I wanted it."

Tom K. @tomkaufmann
★★★★★

"Finally an app that doesn't judge you but just makes you wait. I've passed on €800 worth of stuff in 2 months. Still feels unreal."

Priya R. @priyar
★★★★★

"I used to open Amazon like it was a hobby. CutCut turned it into an actual decision instead of a reflex. My therapist actually recommended something like this."

Lucas D. @lucasd
★★★★★

"The 'Honestly? Probably never' button is me every single time. Something about seeing it written out loud made me laugh and immediately close the tab."

Emma W. @emmawanders
★★★★★

"I had a shopping problem for years without really admitting it. CutCut made me face it — not through guilt, but through patience. Highly recommend it."
