Is Holdout really free?

Yes. Download the app and create up to 3 timers for free, with no credit card and no account required. When you want unlimited timers, you can upgrade to premium directly inside the app.

What does Holdout premium unlock?

Premium removes the 3-timer limit so you can track as many purchases as you want. Everything else including the savings tracker, notifications, and stats is available for free.

Does Holdout sync across devices?

Holdout is intentionally offline-only. Your history and timers live only on your device. No server, no cloud sync, no data shared with anyone.

How is Holdout different from just setting a phone reminder?

A reminder just tells you time is up. Holdout makes you write down why you want something before the timer starts, then prompts a conscious decision when it ends. That friction is the whole point.

Does Holdout require an account or internet connection?

No account. No internet. No sign-in. Open the app and use it immediately. Everything stays on your phone.

What if I still end up buying things?

That will happen, and it is fine. Holdout is not about never buying anything. Even resisting 30% of impulse purchases saves the average person over $1,600 a year. The goal is better decisions, not zero spending.
