Most of the time, adding a contact to your smartphone comes down to a name and a phone number. No additional information, possible typos, no photo, and with time, outdated info. Does this sound familiar to you? KeepUpp is the mobile app that revolutionizes the way of sharing contact info, social media, and more. KeepUpp makes the switch from the ONE.DOES.ALL to the ALL.DO.ONE method. In other words, stop creating the profile of others, just create your own profile, share it, manage it. GET FULL CONTACT Share and add clean, complete, and always up-to-date contacts. AUTO-SYNC WITH PHONE APP The contact information of your KeepUpp connections is instantly added to your native phone app. It’s that easy! NEVER LOSE CONTACT New job? Address change? New social media? New haircut? Update your profile, and it will be automatically updated in your friends’ device. CHOOSE WHAT TO SHARE Want to share your business details with some, your personal details with others? Create one profile to share with your business contacts, another one to share with your friends. SOCIAL LIFE Connect with people, keep up with changes in your friends’ life, and boost your social media following. STUDENT PROFILE The tailor-made Student profile will help students to connect with schoolmates, build up a network, and get their first job. PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS Remain the owner of your information. What you share, you can unshare. With KeepUpp you don’t give your contact info anymore, you lend it. ECO-FRIENDLY 27 million business cards are printed daily, 63% of them being thrown away within a week. By switching from a print to a digital solution, over 7 million trees can be saved every year. That’s all for now. But there is much more to come. We are working hard and enthusiastically on exciting and innovative features. Looking forward to KeepUpp with you!
