Keeps is a home for the things you own — and an honest answer to what each of them costs you. Add an item with a photo, its price, and the day you bought it. Keeps divides the price by the days you've owned it, so a jacket you wear every week and a gadget you forgot in a drawer stop looking the same. Watch the cost per day fall the longer you keep something, and see when it will halve again. WHAT YOU OWN, IN ONE PLACE • Photos, purchase details, warranty dates, notes, and tags for every item • Categories you define, with your own icons and order • A collection you can search, filter, and sort by what it costs you WHAT IT REALLY COSTS • Cost per day, from the price and the days owned • Cost per use — tell Keeps how often you reach for something, or log uses yourself • Sold or retired something?
