Shopping sites are designed to make you spend

Amazon, Walmart, Target and hundreds of other retailers employ armies of data scientists, psychologists, and UX designers whose sole mission is to get you to add one more thing to your cart. Countdown timers. "Only 2 left." Personalized recommendations. One-click buying. Every pixel is optimized to bypass your better judgment.

⏱️

Artificial Urgency

Countdown timers and "limited stock" warnings trigger your fear of missing out — even when the deal is always available.

🎯

Personalized Pressure

Algorithms learn exactly what tempts you most and serve it up repeatedly until you cave.

🛒

Frictionless Checkout

One-click buying and saved payment info are deliberately designed to remove the pause that protects your wallet.


How DollarDog protects you

DollarDog works quietly in the background. The moment you open a shopping website, it shows you exactly where you stand — before you've already spent.

1

Connect your bank

Securely link your account using Plaid — a bank-level service used by thousands of apps. Your credentials are never stored by DollarDog.

2

Set your monthly budget

Tell DollarDog how much you want to spend at shopping sites each month. The default is $1,000 — adjust it to match your goals.

3

Get notified at the moment it matters

When you visit Amazon, Walmart, Target, or any shopping site, DollarDog instantly shows you a notification with how much of your budget you've already used this month — right when you're about to make a decision.

4

Make the call with full information

You decide. DollarDog never blocks anything — it just makes sure you always know where you stand financially before you click "Buy Now."
