## What is Keeps?

Keeps is a home for the things you own — and an honest answer to what each of them costs you.

Add an item with a photo, its price, and the day you bought it. Keeps divides the price by the days you've owned it, so a jacket you wear every week and a gadget you forgot in a drawer stop looking the same. Watch the cost per day fall the longer you keep something, and see when it will halve again.

WHAT YOU OWN, IN ONE PLACE
• Photos, purchase details, warranty dates, notes, and tags for every item
• Categories you define, with your own icons and order
• A collection you can search, filter, and sort by what it costs you

WHAT IT REALLY COSTS
• Cost per day, from the price and the days owned
• Cost per use — tell Keeps how often you reach for something, or log uses yourself
• Sold or retired something? Keeps counts what you got back
• An overview of your spending by month and category

ADD THINGS THE EASY WAY
• Import Amazon orders, a receipt PDF, or a spreadsheet — photos and prices included
• Paste any product page and Keeps reads the name, price, and photo
• Review every purchase before it joins your collection; returns and duplicates are set aside

MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOURS
• Stage: Your original stays intact. You can change how it stands or reset your edits at any time.
• Search the web for a better picture, right inside Keeps

SMART, ON YOUR DEVICE
• Describe an item and get a suggested name, category, and tags, powered by Apple Intelligence on supported devices
• Ask questions about your collection and get answers from your own data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your collection stays on your devices and, if you choose, in your own iCloud
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Nothing is sent to us
• Back up and restore your whole collection as a file

Shortcuts and Siri: log a use, look up an item's cost, search, or add an item without opening the app. keeps:// links open any item.

Feedback opens an editable email with your device model, OS version, and Keeps version/build. No diagnostic log or collection data is attached.

### 5/5 — Knowledge is power

*2026-10-06*

This is a great app to see the actual payback rate of the items you've purchased. It also gives you the option to see your payback if you sell an item! It's a great way to figure out what items you might want to donate once you don't need them anymore.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-06

Keeps 1.4.1 adds stickers and small things you asked for.

• Stickers for Messages. 64 illustrated stickers of everyday things, free: tap + in a conversation, then Stickers, then the Keeps tab.
• Remember filters. Turn it on in Settings › Collection and your collection opens with the types, status, category and tag you chose last.
• A trimmer price tag on the item page, so the photo and the name lead.
• Backups to keep now applies to automatic backups and the ones you make yourself separately, so neither pushes out the other.
• Seven stickers redrawn.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-01

Get more from the things you own.

Keeps 1.4.0 brings a fresh look to your collection and new ways to see the value in every use.

• Your collection, your style. Show off your items with photo stages, illustrated stickers, and light and dark themes.
• Every use counts. Follow cost per day and per use, fill your punch card, and log past uses.
• Find the detail you remember. Search item names, categories, notes, and tags.
• Bring your purchases together. Import Apple purchase history, Amazon orders, receipts, and spreadsheets, then review what to add.
• Keep a copy to come back to. Choose daily or weekly automatic backups and how many copies to keep.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-29

Subscriptions on any billing cycle, a Dense grid layout, and subscription import from a CSV file.

• Give a subscription any billing cycle, such as every 30 days or every 2 years: choose Custom under Billing and set a number and a unit. The subscription section is simpler, with the price and its currency on one row and what you have paid below it.
• Move subscriptions in from a CSV file, with their billing intervals, renewal dates, and amounts paid. Possible duplicates are flagged before you import, and a backup import can skip subscriptions you already have.
• Dense grid: a new layout with smaller tiles shows more of your collection at once. Choose it under View options > Layout.
• For an app, Log automatically now suggests recording a use each time you open it, and items that cost nothing no longer ask how often you use them.
• Fixes: Per month shows the right amount for currencies without cents, such as the yen, and renewal dates keep their day through short months and price changes.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-28

Apps and subscriptions, your App Store purchases, stickers, and a faster way to manage your collection.

• Set a subscription’s next renewal date; a subscription is judged by what it costs a day and a month, not by uses. A category can start its new items as apps or subscriptions.
• Apps and subscriptions: set an item’s type to App or Subscription. A subscription has a billing period and a price, each renewal adds to what it has cost, and one you cancel stays in use until its paid period ends. Overview shows what your subscriptions cost a month, and Settings can remind you before one renews.
• Import your App Store purchases from Apple’s Data & Privacy download: paid apps with their in-app purchases added, and subscriptions with whether they still renew. App Store icons get a photo style of their own.
• An app bought once for good, with a lifetime in-app purchase, gets a Lifetime purchase tag when imported.
• Make a die-cut sticker from an item’s photo, then share it, save it to Photos, or drag it into another app.
• Tap an item’s photo to see it full screen, share it, style and crop it, or make a sticker. Shortcuts can log a use of any item, apps and subscriptions included.
• Manage items in Settings: search, filter, and select many items at once to change their category, tags, or status, or to delete them.
• Press and hold the Keeps icon on the Home Screen to log a use of an item you use often, record today’s uses, or add an item.
• In the collection’s list layout, choose Layout to show full item names.
• The Overview briefing now tells you what your subscriptions cost, which item you haven’t recorded a use of lately, and your best and worst cost per use.
• The photo editor works like Photos: switch between Style and Crop, drag and pinch to frame, straighten or zoom with a dial, and choose an aspect ratio, with a live preview of the finished photo.
• Receipt import reads more receipts correctly, including prices on their own line, quantities, and more date formats, and leaves out totals, tax, and shipping.
• When reviewing imported purchases, add a photo from Photos or the web, open a new item straight from the import result, and add a purchase again even if it is already in your collection.
• In web photo search, press and hold a photo to use it.
• Amazon purchase cleanup in Experiment Lab shows its progress on each purchase and suggests the same names and categories as Suggest item details.
• The daily check-in offers the items you have recorded, most recent first.
• Choose an emoji icon by typing it from the emoji keyboard into the search field.
• Changing an item’s purchase, retirement, or sale date no longer fails when uses are recorded; the date stops at the recorded uses and says why.
• Performance: improved photo loading and caching. Large collections reuse totals and cost calculations to reduce work while scrolling.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-25

Keeps now helps you count uses without remembering every one.

• Log automatically: a guide on each item sets up a Shortcuts automation that records a use when your headphones connect, CarPlay starts, you scan an NFC tag, or a workout ends. It works while your iPhone is locked and can count each day once.
• Siri: say “Log a use of Weekend camera in Keeps” or “Get my most expensive item in Keeps.”
• New Shortcuts action: Get items from Keeps finds your most or least expensive, most or least used, or longest unused items, and more.
• Daily check-in: an optional evening notification lets you record what you used without opening Keeps.
• Record use widget: log a use from your Home Screen with one tap.
• Goal notifications: know when an item’s cost per use reaches your goal.
• Tell Keeps how often you use something and cost per use works from day one. Keeps suggests a better estimate as you record uses.
• Add past uses in one step, and swipe to remove a use from its history.
• A redesigned Overview leads with what your belongings cost each day and how that changed over the last month, shows which items cost the most to keep, and keeps goals and purchases at a glance.
• Collection briefings are richer and appear as they’re written, with each observation checked against your saved records.
• On iPad, an item opens in a third column that stays in place when you rotate. In landscape, Overview uses two columns.
• Keeps respects Reduce Motion.
• Fixes, including changes to an item’s usage estimate not being saved. Uses recorded from the widget are no longer lost if saving fails. Shortcuts cost-per-day and cost-per-use rankings now account for sale proceeds.
