## What is kept · Document Organizer?

Your important documents, kept.

kept is a calm, private home for the documents that run your life — bills, contracts, receipts, insurance, IDs, your family's paperwork. Scan or import them, and kept helps you organize, find, and act on them in seconds.

Scanning is solved. Living with your documents isn't. kept is the part that comes after the scan.

WHY KEPT
• Private by architecture. Everything stays on your iPhone by default. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no cross-app tracking. Anonymous usage data (such as which feature opened the purchase screen) helps improve kept — never your document contents.
• No subscription. Pay once, use forever.
• Beautifully simple. Designed with the care of your favorite note app, not a generic utility.

ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK
• Categories, Stacks, and Spaces — group documents by topic, project, person, or property.
• Powerful full-text search finds any document by its content, not just its name.
• Multi-category documents — a receipt can live in "Tax" and "Home" at once.

DOCUMENTS THAT ASK FOR ACTION
• kept reads your documents on your device and suggests what to do: Pay, Sign, Reply, Review, Renew, or watch an expiry date.
• Get a reminder before your passport, insurance, or warranty runs out.
• Sign PDFs with your finger and share them in seconds.

EVERYTHING ELSE
• On-device intelligence titles, summarizes, and sorts new documents automatically, where your device supports it.
• Cancellation letter generator — produce a clean, correctly formatted letter in seconds.
• 5 home-screen widgets, Apple Reminders export, and Face ID lock.
• Optional iCloud sync keeps your document info, categories, actions & reminders across your devices — your original files stay on each device.

ALWAYS FREE
Unlimited scans and imports, OCR and full-text search, action suggestions, and all widgets — free, forever.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.7 — 2026-08-22

iCloud sync actually works now.

If you turned the switch on in Settings and nothing happened, that was on us: kept could not establish the iCloud connection at all. It was never your iCloud account. It's fixed — just switch sync on again.

Also: when kept can no longer read one of its own backup files, it now says so plainly and asks you to keep the file, instead of claiming it isn't a kept backup.

Thank you to the people who kept asking. Without those emails this would not have been found.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-08-20

This update puts a real backup in your hands — and brings lost labels back.

• Backup: New under Settings › Backup. Your documents together with their whole structure in a single file, saved wherever you choose. kept never sends it anywhere.
• Restore: The same button also reads the database backup kept offered you if it ever had to reset its library. Your titles, categories, Spaces and due dates end up back on your documents.
• Restoring never deletes anything. Documents you already have are recognized and updated instead of duplicated — including the same document imported separately on an iPhone and an iPad.

Thank you to the people who wrote in. Without those emails this would not have been found.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-19

Two fixes, both from bug reports.

• kept no longer crashes on launch when iCloud Sync can't be activated. Instead of giving up, kept keeps working on-device — your documents stay untouched, and Settings explains why the switch turned itself off.
• "Import Document" and "Import Folder" respond reliably again. Under certain conditions they could go quiet for good until the app was restarted.

Thanks to the three people who wrote in. Without them I wouldn't have known.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-07-30

More room to cancel.

• The cancellation letter generator is now free three times a year — it used to be one letter, ever.
• You can always see how many free letters you have left, and when the next one becomes free.

Still no subscription, no account, no ads. Your documents stay on your device.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-09

Optimizations and bug fixes.
