“清”,是账目清晰,也是耳根清静。 【理念:我们为什么做这款 App】 市面上的记账软件越来越臃肿了。打开它们,满眼是理财广告、办卡推荐、繁杂的社区和让人眼花缭乱的各种入口。 但其实,我们需要的仅仅是一个能安安静静记录今天花了多少钱的工具。 于是,《清记》诞生了。 它剔除了所有与记账无关的噪音,回归工具的本质。没有广告,没有社交,没有多余的干扰。在这里,只有纯粹的收支,和清清楚楚的生活。 【功能:克制而强大】 极简极速:点开即记,没有任何多余的步骤,3秒钟完成一笔开销记录。 干净无扰:承诺永远无理财广告,无社区,不贩卖财务焦虑。 一目了然:清晰直观的折线与饼图,帮你轻松梳理每月的财务状况。 绝对隐私:你的财务数据属于且仅属于你个人,无需担心隐私泄露。 设计美学:延续留白美学,素雅清透的界面,让记账变成一种享受。 我们相信,最好的工具,是当你需要时它极其顺手,不需要时它安静地待在角落,从不打扰。 愿《清记》能帮你理清账目,也理清生活。 最终用户许可协议(EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
