Breathing Life into Items 📦

Once your Space (Area) is ready, it’s time to add items. In MononoMori, recording each item carefully allows you to rethink your relationship with your belongings.

How to Add an Item ✨

There are two main ways to add items:

Method A: Direct Add (Standard)

1. Navigate: Go to the specific Location where the item is stored (e.g., inside “Desk”).
2. Tap the ”+” button and select “New Item”.
3. Fills in the basic information.

Method B: Global Add (Quick)

1. Tap the ”+” button on any screen.
2. Select “New Item”.
3. You will need to manually select the specific “Location” (Where is it?) later.

Input Fields 📝

Let’s register an item (e.g., “Favorite Mug”).

• Tap the camera icon to take a photo or select one from your library.
• Advice: A good photo is the key to organization. Taking a clean shot makes looking back at it enjoyable.

2. Name

• Specific names like “Blue Starry Mug” are even better.
