Shopping got the better of you? Your brain isn't broken. The checkout is.

Dopamine Delay is your companion dashboard for the Dopamine Delay Chrome extension — a science-backed pause between "want it" and "bought it."

This app gives you mobile access to your spending insights, saved reflections, and dopamine wins. Track how much money your future self has thanked you for, on the go.

What it does

- See every purchase you paused on and reflected before buying
- Track your saved money — the receipts you never had to regret
- Review your reflections, urges, and patterns over time
- Watch your dopamine wins add up across days, weeks, and months
- Stay connected to your goals without judgment, shame, or willpower lectures

Why it works

We're not another budgeting app. We're not a blocker. We're not here to lecture you about self-control.

Dopamine Delay is built on peer-reviewed neuroscience about how ADHD brains process reward, urgency, and impulse. The Chrome extension intercepts the moment your finger hovers over "Buy Now" — and gives you a small, kind window to decide whether the version of you who wakes up tomorrow will be glad.

This Android app is the dashboard. The receipts. The proof that you're capable of catching yourself — and that you have been, more than you give yourself credit for.

Built for ADHD adults

If you've ever:
- Bought something at 11pm you didn't remember by 11am
- Felt the dopamine drop the second the box arrived
- Tried every "just don't shop" approach and watched them all fail
- Wondered if you're broken because willpower doesn't work for you

You're not broken. You're wired for novelty, urgency, and reward. Modern checkouts are designed to weaponise exactly that.

Dopamine Delay works *with* your brain, not against it.

Privacy first

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE — HOW AND WHY WE USE IT

Dopamine Delay uses Android's AccessibilityService API to show the pause inside
shopping apps. We are not an accessibility tool and we do not claim to be one —
we use this API because it is the only way to notice the checkout moment inside
another app.

What it does: while you are inside a shopping or food delivery app on our
supported list (Amazon, eBay, Temu, Shein, Vinted, Argos, ASOS, Walmart, Target,
Woolworths, Flipkart, Uber Eats, Just Eat and others), the service reads that
app's on-screen text to detect when you add an item to your basket or reach the
checkout. It then offers a short, optional pause.

What it collects: the shop you were in; the item name and price when the shop
displays them on the add button; how you were feeling if you choose to tell us;
what you decided; the points you earned; and an identifier for your account so
the record appears on your own dashboard.

What it never does: it does not read any other app on your phone, it does not
read messages, emails, passwords or card details, it never records or captures
your screen, and it never changes a setting or taps anything on your behalf. It
never blocks a purchase — there is always a way to continue.

You are asked to agree to this inside the app, in plain English, before the
permission is ever requested. You can decline and still use everything else, and
you can turn the service off at any time in Android Settings > Accessibility.

Data is stored against your account and is never sold or shared with advertisers
or data brokers. Full details: https://dopaminedelay.com/privacy
