REGRET is your second opinion before you buy. Add a screenshot or camera shot, answer five quick questions and get a personal Regret Score — before “just looking” turns into a purchase.
No budgeting spreadsheet. No lecture. REGRET focuses on the exact moment when you're about to buy something.
Screenshot, camera or manual entry. AI extracts visible product details such as name, price and category.
Why do you want it? Since when? Full price? Own something similar? How expensive does it feel?
Your 0–100 score leads to BUY, THINK, WAIT or DON'T BUY YET — plus a cooldown when distance makes sense.
Later, say whether you bought it and how the purchase felt. That creates a real personal decision history.
On similar future checks, REGRET can use your previously rated purchases as personal evidence. Not as a guarantee — as additional context that actually comes from you.
Depending on the score, REGRET can recommend 24, 48 or 72 hours of distance. Then you answer one question: do you still want it?
Record how strongly you want something. REGRET makes it visible whether the buying urge stays — or collapses after the first impulse.
REGRET only shows patterns once real decisions exist. With more feedback, a clearer picture of your personal buying patterns emerges.
Impulse purchases often happen in seconds: a sale, FOMO, an upgrade or something that suddenly feels essential. REGRET intervenes at that exact point. Instead of only categorizing spending afterwards, the app helps before the buying decision. The Regret Score, Waiting Room cooldowns and your own Decision Memory create distance between desire and checkout.
REGRET does not replace financial advice and does not claim to predict the future. It is a personal decision system for people who want fewer regretted purchases and a better understanding of their own buying patterns.
The key questions about REGRET, the Regret Score, cooldowns and personal purchase history.
REGRET is an iPhone app for more deliberate purchase decisions. Capture a product, answer five short questions and receive a Regret Score with a clear decision signal.
The score evaluates signals around your current buying impulse — such as how long you have wanted the product, why you want it, whether you would pay full price, whether you already own something similar and how expensive it feels to you.
REGRET can recommend a cooldown of up to 72 hours. You decide again afterwards, giving a short-term impulse time to change.
Yes. When you later say whether you bought something and how you rate the purchase, REGRET can use similar past decisions as personal context for future checks.
No. REGRET is a purchase-decision reflection tool, not financial, credit or investment advice. The final decision is always yours.
