BeLooped helps Groups of People fulfill their shared Purpose by equipping them with Communications and other Tools in a safe, Private, virtual space. The groups you belong to are all in one app, with zero ads and just one UI to learn.  Group membership is by invitation only; that keeps the trolls out, and the group's manager can "swipe left" to evict those who behave inappropriately. All group data stays in the group. Your data is yours, not ours. There is no charge to use BeLooped as a member of someone else’s group. Your own groups are limited in the free version; to manage more groups (or larger ones) requires a monthly or yearly in-app subscription. Your persona (the data you share about yourself) can be different in each and every group. Be Emily’s mom in the daycare group, Ms. Marshall at work and the gym, and Autumn with family and friends - with different pictures, contact and even address information for each. Once the group is set up: • use Forum for group-wide real-time discussions including pictures. Curation is handled by the group's manager. • use News to share important announcements with the entire group. • use Resources to share links to websites, companies, locations and people relevant to the group. • group members share what they are comfortable sharing; they maintain their own profiles and share only what they choose to. • easily and quickly contact individual members using their preferred methods.

Hi, we're Artifcts®. We are where ‘stuff’ and stories meet. Got 'stuff?' We all do! We collect, accumulate, and inherit (and one day may inherit) a lot of ‘stuff’ in our daily lives. Artifcts helps you keep track of what it is, why it matters, and what to do with it next, so you can declutter and organize the ‘stuff’ and the memories. YOUR STORIES, YOUR WAY Capture your stories and memories with as few or many words as you like. No story burden here! Add photos and videos and supporting documentation. Each Artifct is fast and easy to create and share. DECLUTER & DOWNSIZE The memories will be here on Artifcts, even if the ‘stuff’ finds new homes. BE ORGANIZED, BE READY End the chaos of sifting through email, cloud, social media, photo apps and more for key moments. Every item is taggable, searchable, shareable, and downloadable on Artifcts!

Our QR code stickers help you get started. CREATE A BOOK. Save yourself time and stress! Publish your Artifcts and the stories they hold to an expertly designed, premium print quality book. We’re delighting people from 16 to 91 years of age and helping you document what matters most! Here’s what some of our members have to say: My first wave of Artifcts—a huge one—is my parents’ stuff. With six kids, ten grandkids, and seventeen great grandkids, there will be a lot of interest in their “stuff” for a long time to come. - Lynne, WI Artifcts is a great tool to help me think about what actually means something to me. It’s a good way to “Kondo.” - Holly, Washington D.C. Knowing something’s physical value is good. Being able to inventory and track our belongings is great. Remembering the value to the heart – is priceless. Artifcts bridges the gap and does it all. - Jamie, CA I’m not a hoarder, I’m a collector. The objects in my life are important to me because they contextualize my experiences. Everything has a story. What I love about Artifcts is that it gives me a place to document and share everything from family heirlooms to mundane everyday objects most people take for granted. - Matt, TX With two kids in kindergarten, piles and piles of artwork came home from school, and I was Artifcting as it did. It was a relief to get it put away and know that I’ll have these cute and special pieces of art forever in Artifcts, and that my kids and I can browse through them some day when they are older. - Wendy, TX When I saw how my granddaughter’s eyes lit up as I shared stories while we Artifcted together, I wanted to Artifct even more. The time together reliving these moments behind the objects inspired me to pass down some items to my family now. - Martha, VA I’m a realtor and Artifcts creates an opportunity for my clients to keep track of things as they downsize or as they transition to a new season of life, like having babies. You have the freedom to not have to choose what you remember and what you don’t because now you can keep the history alive even if you let go of the actual artifacts. - Heather, TX Privacy Policy: https://artifcts.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://artifcts.com/terms-of-use Content & Community Policy: https://artifcts.com/community-policy You can create up to 5 Artifcts for free.
