Don't Buy This

About this app

Sometimes one look at the packaging is enough to remember that a product disappointed you, did not suit you, or simply was not worth the money. Don't Buy This helps you save that note on your phone and quickly find it while shopping.

How it works

1. Scan a product barcode or add the product manually.
2. Take a photo with your camera or choose one from the gallery.
3. Write down why you should not buy the product.
4. Find the record by name or barcode next time and make a faster decision.

Features

- barcode scanning with the camera;
- adding a product immediately after scanning;
- product photos from the camera or gallery;
- local storage of your product list on the device;
- search by product name and barcode;
- detailed product cards with photos and personal notes;
- quick card preview by holding a finger on a product in the list;
- light and dark themes;
- interface available in Russian, English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.

Privacy and control

Your products, photos, and notes are intended for personal use and are stored locally on your device. No account is required to work with your local list.

Don't Buy This is a simple personal assistant for more mindful shopping: remember your past experience before putting the same product in your cart again.

Current status

The app is being developed in stages. The current version focuses on the local workflow: scanning, adding products, photos, personal reasons, and searching saved products. Connecting external product databases, photos, and reviews is planned separately.
