  • Your “almost bought” list and the patterns behind it.

Why 118M8

A spending tracker app for the moment you spend

A lot of spending trackers help after the month is over. 118M8 helps earlier: right when you are about to buy something and want a quick reality check.

Track decisions, not just totals

Log potential purchases as they happen. You build awareness without setting up categories, accounts, or budgets.

Convert money to time instantly

Use your take-home pay to see what a price costs in hours worked. One number you can actually feel.

A calm habit you can keep

No shaming language. Just a gentle pause that helps you choose what matters to you.

What it is

A spending tracker you can use in seconds

  • Enter your earnings once.
  • Type a price when you are tempted to spend.
  • Decide now, or set a 24-hour pause.

What it is not

Not a strict budget that makes you feel behind

  • No bank login required.
  • No long setup or spreadsheets.
  • No guilt if you decide to buy it.

Cost in hours is low.

Track your triggers, not just your spending

When you save things you almost bought, you start to notice patterns: tired scrolling, Friday treats, convenience spending, or boredom. That is the kind of insight that changes habits.

Works well for everyday choices

  • Food delivery
  • Clothes and shoes
  • Subscriptions and add-ons
  • Impulse checkout moments

Decision Pause

Sleep on it, then decide with a clearer head

If you are unsure, set a 24-hour reminder. Tomorrow you can decide calmly and see what the choice costs in hours.

Reminder set

Pause first, decide later. If you still want it tomorrow, buy it and move on.

If you do not buy it, 118M8 can add that amount to your savings tracker.

A spending tracker that respects your choices

The goal is not perfection. It is to make the next decision a little more deliberate, so your money follows what you actually value.
