The ritual

Three taps between the urge and the ash.

It takes about forty seconds. That's the whole product.

01

Name the desire

A photo, a link, or a sentence. €429 headphones counts. So does €40 of drinks every Friday, and so does the thing you keep reopening at 1am.

02

See the real price

Not the sticker price — what it takes from the thing you're actually saving for, and what the money becomes if it stays invested instead.

The damage screen: the purchase as a slice of your goal, and what it becomes invested
03

Burn it

Hold your thumb down. A real burning front eats across the photo at 60fps, curls the edge, and leaves ash. The craving ends with it.

The rational shock

€429 is not the price.
This is the price.

What those headphones become by the time you're 65, at 7% a year over 24 years. One-offs compound. Habits compound harder.

The only dark room in the app

Watching it burn is the part that works.

A real fire shader — a burning front that eats across the paper, curls the edge and leaves embers. Your brain gets the ending it was demanding. Then the lights come back on.

Go on — hold the button.

The burn screen: a photographed purchase, ready to be set on fire

Press and hold, the way you would in the app.

Privacy

The things you're ashamed of stay on your phone.

No account, ever

No sign-up, no email, no password. Nothing you burn is ever sent anywhere, so an account would have nothing to unlock.

Encrypted where it lives

The database is encrypted with a key held in the iOS Keychain. Photos and thoughts are sealed with complete data protection.

Erase means erase

One confirmed tap destroys the database, the images and the key. Nothing to recover, because nothing was copied.

Stop waiting for the urge to pass. Give it an ending.

Free to start. Nothing to sign up for. The first burn takes under a minute.
