Nobody has ever finished a journal. Kept is what happens if you never had to write one. Kept quietly turns the places you go and the photos you already take into a private, searchable memory of your life. Open it and see your days as a timeline — where you were, how long you stayed, the photos that happened there. Then ask it anything: · where did we eat in Rome? · when was I last at Mom's? · what did I do last weekend? · where did I go in Santa Barbara? Kept answers from your own record, in seconds. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos never leave your phone — not the images, not thumbnails. Your movement trail stays in the app's local database, on your device. Your backup is encrypted on your phone with a key only you hold: we store it, we cannot read it. Lose your phone, keep your life — sign in on a new one and your record walks back in, still sealed. When you ask a question, only the words of the question travel — never your coordinates, your photos, or your results. And your questions are not used to train AI models. REMEMBERS FOR YOU · Days build themselves from your locations and photos · Every stop gets a place, a time, and its pictures · Name a place once — Kept remembers it forever · Write a note on any visit and find it again by searching · Works from day one: import your existing photo library and ask about last year, tonight KEPT PRO The free trial includes 20 questions. Kept Pro ($2.99/month, auto-renewing) unlocks up to 250 questions a day and your whole photo history. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in your Apple Account settings.
