The Spending Firewall

Set a weekly cap. Slash makes it hold.

Slash watches what you spend on shopping and pauses the apps you picked when you cross the line, right on your iPhone.

Why it exists

We’ve been trained to spend before we think. Slash puts a wall between the impulse and the tap.

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs itself.

No spreadsheets, no willpower streaks to protect. You set the rule once and Slash enforces it automatically.

01

Set your weekly cap

Pick what you're allowed to spend on shopping this week. Locked once set — no cheating mid-week.

02

Connect your bank

Securely through Plaid. Slash watches your shopping transactions — that's all it reads.

03

Cross the cap, apps pause

Go over and Slash shields the apps you picked using Apple Screen Time. On your phone, by your rules.

The Slash lock screen: “You've hit your cap.” $118.00 of $100.00 spent, apps return Sunday 12:00 AM.
The mechanic

One meter. Three states.

Slash never swaps in a warning color. It shows one bar filling toward your cap: dim while there's room, solid past halfway, hatched past the line.

Nothing in the way.

Spend freely. Slash sits quietly in the background and keeps a running count of what's left this week.

Take a beat.

Past the halfway mark your apps pause. Really want in? Wait sixty seconds, then unlock for one hour. The delay is the point.

You've hit your cap.

There is no override past the cap. Your apps stay shielded until the week resets on Sunday. The rule you set holds.

One-minute pause · One-hour unlock

Blocked, not trapped.

Past halfway, Slash asks for sixty seconds before it lets you back in. Long enough for the urge to pass, short enough that it never holds your life hostage. Past your cap, the pause is gone and the cap just holds.

What's inside

A tracker and a lock, in one app.

Slash reads what you spend and acts on it. No manual logging, no dashboards to babysit.

Blocking that actually holds

Slash uses Apple Screen Time to shield the apps you picked. Past halfway you get a pause; past your cap it holds until the reset.

Bank connect via Plaid

Link your account through Plaid — the same connector your other finance apps use. Slash gets read-only transactions, nothing more.

ADDS TO LIFETIME SAVINGS SUNDAY AT THIS PACE

Whatever’s left under your cap on Sunday is money you didn’t spend. Slash banks it and keeps a running total, so every impulse you skip shows up somewhere.

The Slash savings card: “STOP TODAY +$28.00 adds to lifetime savings Sunday at this pace.”
Built to be trusted with your money

A finance app that isn’t mining you.

Slash makes money from a subscription, not from you. Here's exactly what that means.

No ads, no selling

We never sell or rent your data, and there are no advertising or analytics SDKs in the app.

Bank-grade encryption

Bank access tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and never exposed to the app or any third party.

No tracking

Slash doesn't track you across other apps or websites. It reads your shopping transactions and nothing else.

Choices stay on-device

The apps you pick to block are chosen through Apple's system picker and never leave your phone.

Delete anytime

Wipe your account and every trace of your data instantly, right from Settings. No emails, no waiting.

Yours, not a guardian's

Slash is self-monitoring — you watching your own spending. No parent, no boss, no one else involved.

Read the full Privacy Policy — plain language, no surprises.

Put a firewall on your spending.

Be first in line when Slash launches.
