ImpulseVault

About

ImpulseVault adds a private pause before online checkout.

When you click Checkout, Buy Now, Pay Now, or another high-intent purchase action on a supported shopping site, ImpulseVault places the item or cart into a local Vault and starts a cooling-off timer. After the timer ends, you can return to the Vault and choose whether to continue, abandon the item, or wait longer.

Core features:

- Cooling-off Vault for supported checkout and buy actions.
- Default 24-hour waiting period with configurable cooldowns.
- Gentle, Standard, and Strict friction levels.
- Popup controls for current-site enable/disable and manual page vaulting.
- Full Vault dashboard with locked, unlocked, abandoned, and continued items.
- Per-item dashboard actions to extend, edit, view the original page, continue after cooldown, abandon, or delete.
- Estimated savings tracking for abandoned Vault entries.
- Local JSON export/import and delete-all-data controls.
- Optional unlock notifications, off by default.

Privacy-first workflow:

- No account required.
- No analytics or shopping telemetry.
- No affiliate links.
- No remote storage.
- No external API calls.
- Vault data is stored locally in your browser profile.

ImpulseVault is open source and designed for users who want more intentional friction before discretionary purchases.
