Cubby, the Cool Cart ice cube, wearing a mint striped scarf
For iPhone. Free to start. No account needed.

Put your urges on ice.

Cool Cart puts a little ice between you and the buy button. It blocks your shopping apps and sites, helps you ride out the urge, and turns every skipped buy into an igloo.

Coming soon to the App Store See how it works

Setup takes about a minute. Blocking, the urge check-in and your streak are free forever.

A pause, a breath, a better call

Cubby, a small ice cube with a mint scarf, keeps you company the whole way. No shaming, ever. A slip is just a chance to refreeze.

Blocks the shops

Pick your shopping apps with Apple's Screen Time. Under Categories, Shopping covers most store apps in one tap. Shopping websites are blocked too, plus an optional Safari blocker. When a blocked shop opens, you see Cool Cart's calm block screen instead.

Hold to chill

Tap "I have an urge" and Cubby walks you through a short check-in: what you wanted, how you feel, then 60 seconds of holding a button while frost covers a warm ember and you breathe along. Then decide with a cooler head.

The Freezer

Not sure yet? Share any product from any app's share sheet to Cool Cart and put it on ice for 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days. When it thaws, Cubby checks in: "Still want it?" Let it go, or buy it on purpose.

Igloo streaks

Every no-buy day lays one ice brick. Keep going to build an igloo at day 7, then an ice castle at 30 and an ice palace at 90. Watch your money not spent add up along the way.

How an urge melts away

  1. A shop opens, Cool Cart steps in. The block screen says something like "Cool it." with your streak and money not spent.
  2. Ride out the urge. Tap "I have an urge", hold to chill for 60 seconds, and pick what feels right: skip it, freeze it, or really need it.
  3. Still need it? After a short wait you can unlock your shops for 10 minutes. Then the blocks come back on by themselves.

Your picks stay on this iPhone.

We never see which apps or sites you choose. Apple's Screen Time hands Cool Cart sealed tokens, not app names, browsing or purchases.
