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.

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。
