Heron
A shopping app for iOS & Android

Check beforeyou buy.

Heron tells you whether a deal is actually good, and when it's smarter to wait. Private codes from a private inbox, scored against every offer the store has ever sent you.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

The difference

Coupon apps find a code.
Heron tells you if it's worth using.

Every other app asks

"Is there a code?"

The verdict

Four answers.
Or an honest silence.

Every offer is scored against that store's own history: what they usually give, what they gave last month, and the best they've ever done.

Best

Buy it now.

The best this store has done in months. This is the one.

Good

Better than usual.

Above their normal discount. Worth it if you need it.

Typical

Their usual.

Nothing special. It'll come around again.

Wait

Hold off.

A better offer usually lands soon. We'll tell you when.

No verdict

We don't know yet.

Not enough history to judge, so we won't pretend.

Lime means act. It only shows up when it's the best. Amber means expiring. Nothing else. Every code ships with a verdict, or not at all.
A Glossier page in Heron: wait, their next offer usually lands around day 14 at 25%
Patience, quantified

The only shopping app that tells you to wait.

Stores escalate. Sign up, don't buy, and the offers get better. Heron watches the pattern so you don't have to.

An example ladder. Stores test their offers, so Heron treats it as a pattern, not a promise.

Telling you not to buy yet is exactly why you can trust it when it says buy.
How it works

A private address for every store.

Heron gives you a separate email address for each store you follow. Their offers come to Heron. Your inbox stays yours.

G
Your Glossier address
you.glossier.k7q2@••••••••

Only ever used at Glossier. Every store gets a different one, so none of them can match you to another.

  1. Sign up in a tapThe store's own page opens with your address filled in. You press Sign up.
  2. We read it, so you don't have toWelcome codes, sales and win-back offers get pulled out with the expiry and fine print, then scored.
  3. Your real inbox stays quietMarketing stops with us. Order confirmations and shipping updates still reach you.
Heron's My Codes screen: codes that are yours only, never shared
Private by design

Your codes never
reach coupon sites.

Because the code was sent to an address only you use, it isn't scraped, shared or burned out by the time you need it.

One address per store

No store can link you to another, and you can switch any address off.

Incognito sign-ups

Store pages open in a private view with nothing carried over from your browser.

You press the button

Heron fills in the form. It never submits anything for you.

Receipts still reach you

Order and shipping mail is forwarded to your real inbox. The rest stops here.

Silence over guessing

If the history is too thin to judge, there's no verdict. No made-up urgency.

Yours only

Your codes are never shared, posted or pooled with anyone else's.

Inside the app

One screen. What to buy, what to wait for.
