Most spending apps arrive after the fact. They import your transactions, sort them into categories, and show you a chart of money that has already gone. That's useful for accounting and almost useless in the ten seconds where the decision actually happens.
The ten seconds are the whole game. One tap and it's bought — no friction, no delay, and a price expressed in a unit that stopped feeling real a long time ago. WIT works on that moment instead, and it does it with two very old ideas.
"£180" is easy to say yes to. "Two and a half days at work" is not, and it's the same sentence. Once WIT knows what an hour of your work is genuinely worth after tax, every price you put in front of it comes back in hours — the one currency that doesn't inflate, can't be borrowed, and runs out for everybody at the same rate.
"Sleep on it" works, but an empty delay is just waiting, and waiting is easy to skip. So WIT gives the delay a job: the item goes on your wish list, and it fills up as you work. Start the timer when you clock on, or let auto-track run it during the hours you've set, and the thing climbs toward 100% on your home screen, your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.
By the time it's earned, you've had days to think — and you've watched the cost accumulate rather than being told about it once. Quite a few things simply don't survive that. The ones that do, you buy without the hangover.
Everything you enter — your rate, your schedule, your list — stays on your iPhone.
WIT is a reflection tool, not financial advice. Every figure it shows is an estimate calculated from the numbers you enter, and the optional tax slider is a rough take-home approximation rather than a tax calculation. It's there to make the trade-off visible. What you do with it is entirely your call.
Two ways, and neither is a budget. First it changes the unit: the thing you want stops being a price and becomes a number of hours at work. Second it adds a delay with something to do in it — the item goes on your list and fills up as you actually work, so buying it becomes the end of a process rather than a tap.
A surprising number of things don't survive the climb.
No, and deliberately so. WIT never asks for your bank, your accounts, your transactions or your spending categories. It doesn't track what you've spent or tell you off afterwards. It only deals with things you're thinking about buying, before you buy them — which is the moment where the decision is still live.
No. There is no account of any kind, no bank connection, no sign-up and no server. The only numbers WIT holds are the ones you type in — your hourly rate, your work pattern and your wish list — and they never leave your phone.
Then buy it, with a much clearer idea of what it cost. WIT isn't trying to stop you spending money — it's trying to make sure you know the price in the currency you actually pay it in. Marking something bought clears it off the list.
