Discipline-based spending · UK

You set the rules. HALT helps you keep them.

HALT connects to your UK bank and shows you exactly where you stand against the spending rules you set for yourself. Green, amber, red — one glance tells you everything. Think of it as that little voice asking "do you really need this?" — except it actually sticks.

The traffic light system

One look tells you everything.

No mental maths, no guessing. Every rule you set shows a colour — and the colour matches exactly how serious things are.

You're on track

Comfortable room left against the limit you set. Your streak is growing — keep going.

40–100% of your limit remaining

Getting close

A gentle nudge to slow down before you cross the line. Still time to make a calm decision.

15–39% of your limit remaining

Rule at risk

You're close to the limit you set yourself. This is the exact moment the rule was built for.

0–14% of your limit remaining
How HALT works

Four steps to spending you're proud of.

Quick to set up. Built to actually stick.

01

Connect your bank

Link your UK bank securely via Open Banking. Read-only — HALT never moves or stores your money.

02

Set your rules

Choose categories like takeaways, coffee and bars. Set limits and visit caps while you're thinking clearly.

03

Lock them in

Rules are PIN-protected with a 48-hour change window — so they protect your future self.

04

Build your streak

Every day you stay in the green, your discipline streak climbs. Break a rule and it resets.

Live in the app

Watch a rule play out.

You set a rule once. As the visits land, HALT shifts from green to amber to red — so you feel where you stand before you've gone too far.

Inside the app

Every feature has a reason.

Each one is built to help you follow through on the intentions you already have — no clutter, nothing you won't use.

Core

Discipline Streak

Your streak grows every day you stay within your rules. Your personal best is always saved, so there's always something to beat.

Protection

48-Hour Rule Lock

Want to change a rule? Request it and sleep on it twice. If you still want it after 48 hours, you can. Most people don't.

Commitment

Challenge Mode

Lock in a 90, 180 or 365-day challenge — a commitment you make to yourself, and one you'll want to finish.

Awareness

Traffic Light System

Green, amber, red. You always know where you stand at a glance — no guessing, no mental maths.

Control

Weekly Spending Cap

A simple weekly limit across all spending — a second layer of structure for when life gets busy.

Security

PIN Everything

Every change needs your PIN, so every change stays intentional. You can never accidentally undo your progress.

The numbers

The reality for most UK adults.

Average annual figures per person — not the extreme cases, the typical ones.

That's £11,775 over five years on habits most people barely notice. HALT helps you decide what's worth it before the moment, not after.

Security & trust

Built to be trusted with bank access.

HALT only ever reads your transactions to show you where you stand. It can't touch your money — and you stay in control.

FCA-authorised Open Banking

HALT connects through an Open Banking provider that is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) — the same secure standard used across UK banking.

Read-only, always

HALT can see your transactions to track your rules — and nothing more. It can never move, send or hold your money.

You're in control

Your data is encrypted, and you can revoke HALT's access at any time, straight from the app or your bank.

Questions

The things people ask first.

HALT will launch with a free plan that covers the core experience — setting rules, the traffic light system and your streak. Full pricing will be confirmed before launch, and anyone on the waitlist will be the first to know.

Yes. HALT connects through the UK's regulated Open Banking framework with read-only access — it can see your transactions to track your rules, but it can never move or hold your money. Your data is encrypted, and you can revoke access at any time.

HALT will support all major UK banks through Open Banking. The full supported list will be published when the app launches on iOS and Android.

Most budgeting apps tell you what you already spent. HALT is about the decision you make before you spend — you set your own rules in advance, and HALT helps you hold to them with the traffic light system, the 48-hour rule lock and your discipline streak.

HALT is coming to iOS and Android. Join the waitlist and you'll get early access before general release, plus your launch invite the moment we go live.
