你拥有什么,定义了你是谁。 Own 不是一个物品管理 app,是一个通过你拥有的东西认识自己的工具。 你可以用它记下: 每月新买的东西,自己看看钱都去了哪; 每样东西的拥有时长,自己判断买得是否值; 反复购买的类型,自己发现习惯; 放着不用的东西,自己决定是否放下。 Own 不替你分析,不替你总结。它只是一张诚实的账本,让你自己看清楚。 没有预设分类。没有必填字段。没有推荐模板。 仓库怎么建是你的事,属性填什么也是你的事。 因为每个人拥有的东西不一样,每个人与物品的关系也不一样,有人想要断舍离,有人想要完整收藏,有人想让一切整齐。 Own 不替你做决定,只陪你记下来。 所有数据在你本地。 不联网,不同步,不分析。 不用注册账号。 不看你的东西,也不推送建议。 Own 只是你自己的账本。 你怎么写,就怎么认识你自己。
