## What is DearKeep?

DearKeep is a private chat archive for keeping meaningful conversations on your device and revisiting them as memories.

Import chat data that you exported from LINE, WhatsApp, or KakaoTalk, then browse and organize your conversations in a clear chat-style layout. Imported content is generally processed and stored on your device. The app does not provide a feature that sends your chat content to the developer’s servers.

KEY FEATURES

• Import chat histories  
Supports LINE text exports, WhatsApp ZIP exports, and files exported from KakaoTalk.

• Familiar chat-style viewing  
Read long conversations while keeping dates and participants easy to follow.

• Favorites  
Save meaningful messages and words you want to revisit.

• Calendar navigation  
Choose a date and quickly move to that day’s conversation.

• Memory Bottle

*DearKeep is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LINE, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, or their respective operators. It is designed to display and organize data exported by users from those services.
