What is it about?

The Desire Controller is a revolutionary purchasing management app inspired by the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement in this new era. With a user-friendly interface, this app allows you to create a wishlist and delve deep into your purchasing motivations for each item by completing a self-assessment, stating reasons for wanting to buy or reasons for not needing it. Furthermore, by evaluating factors such as 'post-purchase usage plans,' 'necessity in daily life,' 'availability of alternatives,' 'appropriateness as a self-reward,' and even whether the item aligns with your hobbies, the app aims to separate material desires from rational thinking, encouraging wiser consumption behavior.
