Know what your things are worth. Remember what every relationship means. What has that three-year-old phone really cost you per day? Who gave what for that wedding—and when did you return the favor? Which medications, skincare products, or pantry items expire next? The details we lose are rarely just numbers. They are the value, changes, and stories of everyday life. Zishi is your time machine for belongings and relationships. It turns every purchase, use, repair, sale, gift, loan, and repayment into a clear timeline you can understand, search, and look back on. Chosen by over 10,000 users. No ads. No noisy launch promotions. Just open the app and start recording. SEE WHAT EVERY ITEM IS REALLY WORTH Record purchase dates, prices, quantities, categories, brands, models, tags, notes, and photos. Keep adding expenses and income from repairs, maintenance, upgrades, resale, or rentals. Zishi automatically calculates days used, cost per day, and value trends—so you can see whether something was truly worth buying.
