# storay

> A free personal inventory and selling app. Snap photos of what you own, organise items into themed "shelves" (shareable storefronts), set prices, and share one link. Buyers browse the shelf on the web and message you directly on WhatsApp. No listing fees, no commission, no marketplace algorithm.

storay is not a marketplace. Unlike Vinted, Depop, or Marktplaats, there are no competing listings, no algorithmic ranking, and storay never touches payment or delivery. Every feature — Otto (an AI sales assistant), studio photo enhancement, analytics, price suggestions, CSV export — is free for everyone, forever. Shelves live at storay.app/c/{username}/{shelf-slug} and public profiles at storay.app/@{username}.
