明明買咗好多嘢,點解生活反而覺得越來越窒息? 喺香港呢個急速消費嘅城市,我哋好容易成為物件嘅奴隸。 Re-bun 係為咗「心很累」嘅你而生。 買嘢個一刻好開心,但好快就變成內疚同後悔? 我哋唔係要你瘋狂斷捨離,而係想幫你「物盡其用」。 將每一件買返嚟嘅好嘢,由「雜物」變返做陪你作戰嘅「戰友」。 核心功能: 買定唔買:30秒幫你決定,防止你衝動消費。 冷靜清單:買嘢之前過個冷河,比時間自己諗清諗係咪真係要買。 相惜度 (Relationship Score): 獨家方程式計算你同物品嘅連結。越常使用,連結越深,將擁有變為相惜。 Cost-per-use 追蹤: 透過數據睇住每次使用嘅平均成本下降。真正嘅精明消費,係將每一分錢都用得有價值。 主導權清單: 隨時掌握你擁有的「戰友」,清楚知道邊啲係真正需要,邊啲只係衝動消費。 減少罪疚感: 透過紀錄,將「買錯嘢」嘅負擔,轉化為「用好嘢」嘅動力。 Re-bun 相信: 高質感嘅生活,唔係睇你買咗幾多,係睇你「用」咗幾多。 今日開始,同我哋一齊奪回主導權。 有問題就聯絡我啦!edchoapps@gmail.com Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
