Everything you own has a cost beyond the price tag. Byebye tracks your items, calculates the true cost of ownership, and shows you patterns you'd never notice on your own. Add what you own, log when you use it, and watch your cost per use drop over time. Not a minimalism app. Not an inventory tracker. An awareness tool. TRACK YOUR STUFF Add items with a price and purchase date. Organize with categories, labels, collections, and spaces. Attach photos. Track as many items as you want โ€” no limits. SEE THE REAL NUMBERS Cost per use. Daily carrying cost. Ownership score. Regret ratio. Dead weight. Spending trends by month and category. All calculated automatically from your real usage. LOG USAGE IN ONE TAP Tap +1 when you use something. That's the whole habit. Over time, your most-used items prove their worth โ€” and your least-used items reveal themselves. CROSSING MOMENTS (Pro) When something meaningful happens โ€” a regret pattern forming, a cost dropping, a streak building โ€” Byebye notices and sends it to your lock screen. One moment a day, never noisy. SAY BYEBYE Ready to let go? Sell, donate, or simply archive. List items on the marketplace, chat with buyers, and track your in-vs-out trend over time. CONNECT WITH OTHERS Browse public inventories. Follow people whose approach to stuff inspires you. Share collections, spaces, and items โ€” or keep everything private. PRIVACY FIRST You choose what to share. Delete your account anytime โ€” we erase everything. Free to use. Byebye Pro unlocks Crossing Moments, unlimited collections and spaces, more photos per item, and a Pro badge.
