Since 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up' was published in 2011, the "KonMari Method" from Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo has changed the lives and homes of many.
Since Marie Kondo has expressed that it a personal goal of hers to help as many people as possible tidy up, she is now introducing the KonMari app. This app serves as a place where people may start their introduction to the KonMari Method, as well as connect with other "Konverts" and stay motivated throughout the tidying process by earning badges and receiving reminders and quotes from the book.
One's personal profile on the KonMari app also serves as a vision board for one's ideal life, where goals can be set.
