See how it works
A pause between wanting something and buying it
An impulse purchase can happen before you have had time to think about it. Give the decision somewhere to go: record the temptation and its price, then decide whether this is a purchase you actually want to make. The app supports that pause with a purchase simulation.
Notice the almost-purchase
When an unplanned item catches your attention, take a moment to record it and its price instead of going straight to checkout.
Try the ritual without paying
Use the simulated purchase experience. No order is placed for the item and no real payment is made for it.
Make the skipped purchase visible
Record your choice not to buy and revisit the amount you did not spend. Use that context when the next temptation comes along.
Give a no-spend day something to show
A day without shopping can feel uneventful, even when you deliberately passed on something tempting. Keeping a record makes that decision visible. Almost helps you revisit the things you almost bought, with Almi for company. The displayed amounts describe your recorded choices; they do not verify your account balance or guarantee a particular amount saved.
Questions about Almost: Shop Less, Save More
How can an app help me pause impulse buying?
It can give you an alternative action at the moment you feel tempted. Almost lets you simulate the purchase and record what you choose not to buy, making the decision visible before another impulse comes along.
Do simulated purchases cost real money?
No payment is made for the item in a purchase simulation. App access and optional in-app purchases are separate; check the store listing for current terms.
Is the savings screen my bank balance?
No. The amounts reflect your recorded entries and decisions. They are not a bank balance, a transfer into savings or a guarantee of financial results.
Can I use it as a no-spend tracker?
You can record the purchases you decide to skip and revisit those choices during a no-spend period. Almost is available through both the App Store and Google Play.
