When I sort through a lot of items, I wish I could edit more fields for many items at once. Right now brand and dates still have to be changed one item at a time; being able to multi-select in the Items tab and set them together would save a lot of time.

It would also help if brands I have typed before were remembered and suggested the next time, so I do not have to type them out again.

Thank you for describing exactly where it slows you down! We are planning a full redesign of batch editing (editing many items at once) soon, and we will rethink how it works with item fields.

We plan to update batch setting for brand, dates and other fields, along with how brands are entered, as part of that redesign, or to improve them in a similar way. When it is out we will announce it in the changelog, and we would love to hear how it feels 🌿

Compared to other cataloging apps, I truly resonate with MononoMori's aesthetic and mindful philosophy! However, for items with standard barcodes like books and household medicines, scanning a barcode is often faster and more accurate than photo recognition. It would be fantastic to have a dedicated barcode scanning feature alongside AI vision, making batch organizing of books and first-aid kits even smoother!

Reply from the forestExploring

Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable suggestion! For items with universal barcodes (such as ISBNs for books or standard medical barcodes), barcode scanning indeed provides higher accuracy and deterministic data, making it a wonderful complement to our AI visual recognition.

The main challenge lies in database coverage across various categories and regions, as well as API terms and commercial usage constraints. We are actively investigating reliable data sources.

Books (ISBN lookup) will be our first priority for prototyping, fetching titles, authors, and publisher details in a snap. Once the technical flow is validated, we will seamlessly integrate it with our AI workflow. In the meantime, you can also leverage AI Batch Recognition when organizing multiple items at once 🌿✨

There is so much to look forward to in MononoMori! From the upcoming Tree Hole and nested basket links to advanced sorting in Memory Forest, every planned feature feels like a thoughtfully crafted effort.

I've made it a daily joy to gradually catalog my belongings into the app. What delights me most is that right in the middle of organizing, a fresh feature update drops—allowing me to refine my collection even more exquisitely.

Thinking about the day when everything is neatly recorded and organized brings such a reassuring sense of harmony and peace of mind.

Could you add filterable subcategories under item categories? For example, under Clothing, having Summer and Winter, then jackets and pants. Right now, filtering only allows picking a single tag—like all summer clothes or all jackets. If I want to view just summer jackets, I can't. Or please allow selecting multiple tags in filters.

Reply from the forestShipped in v3.1.0

Thank you so much for this thoughtful observation and practical suggestion! Everyday wardrobe organizing and seasonal packing truly call for more nuanced layers. We are delighted to share that both "Subcategory Hierarchy" and "Multi-Dimensional Filtering" have officially launched in the v3.1.0 major update 🌿✨

This update brings powerful enhancements to categorization and filtering:
1. Subcategory Hierarchy: Categories now fully support dividing into subcategories! For instance, under "Clothing", you can create dedicated subcategories like "Summer", "Winter", "Jackets", or "Pants"—inheriting custom category attributes while keeping your growing wardrobe neat and structured.
2. Multi-Tag & Cross Filtering: In the item overview and search screen, filters now support flexible multi-selection. You can filter directly by subcategories or select several tags at once (showing items with any of them). Conditions from different filters stack, so picking the "Jackets" subcategory plus the "Summer" tag pinpoints items that are "both Summer and Jackets".

Update MononoMori to v3.1.0 today and enjoy an effortless, tranquil organizing and browsing experience 👔🍃

Stumbled across MononoMori, and it is by far the most aesthetically pleasing and comprehensive storage app I have ever used! Perfect for organizing anime merch, BJD dolls, stationery, and illustration collections.

I had hoped for total price tracking across baskets and locations to monitor expenditures by IP or shop, as well as a more elegant, magazine-style layout in the Attachment Treasury for admiring multi-angle photos of my treasures.

I truly love this app—especially the feature allowing me to write a story for each small item. Wishing you all the best!

Reply from the forestResolved

Thank you so much for your heartwarming support and thoughtful feedback! Your wishes have arrived in our latest update:

1. Basket Totals & Spatial Asset Distribution: Baskets now display real-time total prices, and the "Insights" dashboard allows you to break down asset values across groves at a glance.
2. Magazine-Style Treasury Layout: The Attachment Treasury now supports magazine-style flow and smooth browsing, making it easier and more delightful to view multi-angle photos and item details.

May every cherished piece of yours find a peaceful home in MononoMori 🌿✨

I was chatting with my mom on the phone today about MononoMori, and she couldn't stop praising how thoughtful and human-centered the app is!

She highlighted that it's much more than just a routine organization tool—it carries real cultural and emotional depth by letting users record the stories behind their items and explore the "Memory Forest" feature.

She even remarked, "The developers must have such deep humanistic care and warmth to create something so meaningful." Hearing such genuine appreciation from my family brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you for building this wonderful app!

Our household possessions naturally fall into "durables" and "consumables," and they often depend on each other—for example, a wireless keyboard relies on batteries, a camera needs spare batteries, a coffee maker needs filter papers, and a printer needs ink cartridges. It would be amazing to link related items and receive automated timeline reminders for replacement or restocking, keeping maintenance effortless and organized!

Reply from the forestShipped in v2.5.0

Thank you so much for this visionary and insightful suggestion! We are delighted to share that the "Item Connections" feature has officially launched in the v2.5.0 major update 🌿✨

You can now effortlessly link items and discover their natural relationships:
1. Mutual Connections: Cameras and lenses, consoles and accessories, coffee makers and filter papers, water pitchers and replacement filters... link items that belong together with intuitive ease.
2. At-a-Glance Status: In the connected items list, immediately see the current status of each linked companion (plant)—whether it's in active daily use or quietly hibernating. Tap to navigate seamlessly between connected items.
3. Connected Baskets: Beyond individual items, you can now connect baskets to baskets—bridging your "Packing Checklist" with your "Everyday Carry Bag" or "Moving Totes" with "Wishlists".

We invite you to update MononoMori to the latest version and experience this harmonious, interconnected way of organizing 🔗🍃

Could you add a feature to attach photos to locations? Being able to add photos to locations would make everything look much more intuitive!

Reply from the forestShipped in v2.4.0

Thank you so much for this wonderful suggestion! In our v2.4.0 major update, we officially launched the all-new Visual Identity System 🌿✨

You can now customize both groves and locations with real-photo ambient backgrounds and forest-themed icons, making navigation and organization far more intuitive and visually delightful. Update to v2.4.0 and enjoy the new visual experience! 📷🍃

It would be great to have batch import functionality for item photos. Uploading one by one is quite tedious - being able to select multiple images at once and create items for them would be amazing!

This feature would be especially useful for new users who want to quickly set up their item forest. Looking forward to seeing this implemented! 🌳
