何处 Whereabouts

使用完全教程

The Complete Guide

五分钟读完,常用功能全覆盖。何处的哲学只有一句:写一句话,剩下的交给 app。(iOS 与 macOS 通用;平台差异见文末对照表。)

A five-minute read covering everything. The philosophy: write one sentence, the app does the rest. (Applies to iOS & macOS; platform differences at the end.)

记一条 —— 一句话录入Capture — one sentence

iOS:底部「记一条」tab(或首页右上角 ✏️)。macOS:主窗口顶部输入框(⌘N 聚焦)。

iOS: the Record tab (or ✏️ top-right on Home). macOS: the input bar (⌘N).

直接用自然语言写,app 自动拆出名字、层级位置、型号、颜色、容量、购买信息:

Write naturally; the app splits out name, nested location, model, color, capacity, purchase info:

  • 充电宝在卧室五斗柜第二格抽屉
  • 护照:书房保险箱
  • Sony WH-1000XM5 黑色 去年在京东买的 放客厅电视柜
  • passport in the study safe · 3 chargers on the TV stand

列表与手势The list & gestures

操作Action 效果Result
右滑Swipe right 置顶(排最前,可开定期提醒)Pin (stays on top, enables reminders)
左滑Swipe left 删除(进回收站,可找回)或编辑Delete (to Trash, recoverable) or edit
长按Long-press 完整菜单:置顶 / 编辑 / 借给… / 用 AI 理解 / 删除 Full menu: pin / edit / lend / AI / delete
下拉Pull down 从 iCloud 手动同步(见 ⑤)Manual iCloud sync (see ⑤)
选择Select 左上角「选择」进多选,底部批量删除Tap Select for multi-select and batch delete

首页顶部的统计瓷砖同时就是筛选器(见「搜索与筛选」);多选模式下右上角 ⋯ 变成批量菜单(设标签/位置/渠道/AI理解/删除);回收站在 ⋯ 菜单里。macOS 用右键菜单与工具栏完成同样操作,还支持 ⌘/⇧ 多选与 Delete 键删除。

The stat tiles double as filters (see Search); in Select mode the ⋯ menu becomes a batch menu (tags/location/source/AI/delete); Trash lives under ⋯. On macOS use right-click menus, ⌘/⇧ multi-select, and the Delete key.

详情页:位置、时间线、借出Detail: location, timeline, lending

「用过吗?」四个位置按钮 —— 点开物品通常意味着你在找它,用完顺手告诉 app:

Four location buttons — opening an item usually means you're looking for it; tell the app what happened:

  • 🟢 还在原位 · 🔵 放回原位了 · 🟠 位置变了…(改新位置) · 🔴 不知道在哪
  • 🟢 Still there · 🔵 Put it back · 🟠 Moved (enter new spot) · 🔴 Lost track
  • 每次动作都进时间线:位置变化 + 字段修改(含 AI 修改,可一键还原名字)全记录。
  • Every action lands on the timeline: moves + field edits (incl. AI edits, with one-tap name restore).

iCloud 同步(多设备)iCloud Sync

Mac 和 iPhone 登录同一个 Apple 账户即可,零配置。

Sign in with the same Apple Account on both devices — zero config.

  • 实时同步:开关默认打开(设置 → iCloud 同步),改动自动在设备间流动,通常几秒到一分钟。
  • Live sync is on by default (Settings → iCloud Sync); changes flow across devices within seconds to a minute.
  • 手动同步:iOS 首页下拉刷新或点右上角 ☁️;设置 → 数据里也有「立即同步」。它会拉取其它设备写到 iCloud 云盘的数据文件、合并去重(同名同位置只留一条),再把本机最新数据写回去。
  • Manual sync: pull-to-refresh or tap ☁️ on iOS Home (also "Sync Now" in Settings → Data). It pulls the data file other devices wrote to iCloud Drive, merges with de-duplication, and writes back.
  • 看得见的备份:数据文件就在 iCloud 云盘/Whereabouts/ 里(「文件」app / 访达可见),退出 app 时自动更新。
  • A visible backup: the file lives in iCloud Drive/Whereabouts/ (visible in Files / Finder), refreshed on quit.
🔒 全部走你自己 Apple 账户的私有空间,开发者永远看不到任何内容。不登录 iCloud 也能用 —— app 自动落回纯本机模式。
🔒 Everything stays in your own Apple Account's private space; the developer can never see it. No iCloud? The app just runs in local-only mode.

标签 · 通知 · 数据Tags · Reminders · Data

标签

Tags

14 个预设分类开箱即用;「设置 → 标签管理」里可改名、换色(9 色调色板)、删除、新建。录入时按物品名自动建议;AI 开启后由 AI 权威分类。

14 presets out of the box; rename/recolor/delete/create under Settings → Manage Tags. Auto-suggested on input; AI takes over classification when enabled.

定期提醒

Reminders

置顶的重要物品可收「还在原位吗?」本地通知:频率(每天/每周/每月)、时间、文案模板都可自定义;点通知直达该物品。完全本地,无网络。

Pinned items can get "still there?" local notifications — frequency, time, and message template are customizable; tapping jumps to the item. Fully local.

数据进出

Data in & out

设置 → 数据:全量 JSON 导出(含照片)/ 导入(默认去重)。数据永远是你的,随时带走。

Settings → Data: full JSON export (photos included) / import (dedup by default). Your data is always yours.
