Spend in hours, not pounds.

118M8 is your digital shopping mate that helps you consider your next purchase before you spend. It shows you how long you'd need to work to afford something so you can decide if it's really worth it. Think of it as your pocket sized “pause button” before you buy.

Simple. Enter how much you earn per hour, per month or per year and what you're about to spend. 118M8 will instantly show you what that spend really costs in hours of work. You choose: Buy, Don't Buy, or Sleep on It.

No, you can start playing straight away, however, if you delete the app, you will lose your history. But if you register, then we will be able to save your history and allow you to unlock new features as we release them. If you are a 118118 Money customer, then just log in with your credentials and avoid the need to register. Save your progress, track your goals, and share wins with friends.

The app uses the hourly, monthly or yearly rate you enter to calculate how long you'd need to work to earn that amount. It's simple maths, not finance advice. But it's a great way to see the real cost of your spending habits and give yourself 24 hours to decide if you would rather spend those hours on something you want more.

It's up to you. You could enter your net (take home) income (what actually lands in your account after tax, pension, and deductions). That way, 118M8 can show you the real cost of spending in hours you actually work for yourself, not the taxman. Or just enter your hourly, monthly or yearly pay to get started faster.

It's your control superpower. Tap “Sleep on it” instead of “Buy” and 118M8 will remind you in 24 hours. If you still want it tomorrow, fine. But most people don't.

It's the nudge you get the next day after you've set a “Sleep on it” reminder. You'll see what you nearly bought and how much time you just saved by not doing it. That gives you a chance to spend on something you want more instead.

Every time you don't spend, 118M8 adds that amount to what we call your savings tracker. You can see how close you are to your goal, and share milestones like “I've achieved my target of £50 saved”. Savings will only happen if you decide not to buy the item and then do not spend that money on something else later.

Absolutely. 118M8 makes it easy to share your wins with friends like how many hours you've saved or how much closer you are to your goal. You're not bragging, you're inspiring.

Just tap “Set Goal” and choose your target whether it's a weekend away or just a rainy-day fund. You can edit or reset it anytime.

You'll get a well-deserved celebration screen (and bragging rights). Share your win, feel good about your progress, then set your next target.

Yes, your profile screen shows total hours and pounds saved. It's your personal proof that small daily decisions add up to big wins.

Go to the “Refer” section. Tap the invite link, send it via message or social media, and help someone else start buying back their time.

Because saving feels even better when it's contagious. Every shared win motivates someone else to think before they spend.

Tap the profile icon, select “Settings,” and edit your info anytime.

If you registered, tap “Forgot Password” on the login screen and follow the reset steps. If you use the app without an account, no login's needed.

Absolutely. We only store the minimum data needed to make the app work. We only share your personal information in strict accordance with our Privacy Policy, ensuring your data remains protected at every step.

Not at all. 118M8 isn't here to judge, it's here to empower. It just helps you see the true cost of your choices, so you can spend on what actually matters to you.

Then buy it guilt free. The point is to make conscious choices, not to say “no” to everything.

Before you buy anything, open the app and see what that cost equals in hours worked. If it's worth your time, go ahead. If not hit “Don't Buy” and add it to your savings tracker.
