About

uKeep

Read full description

The business card scanner that remembers everyone you meet. uKeep turns every card you collect into a contact you can find, remember and follow up with in one tap. Most scanners stop once the card is read. uKeep keeps the relationship. ANY CARD INTO YOUR CONTACTS IN SECONDS Point your camera at a business card or visiting card, or upload a photo of one. AI reads the name, job title, company, phone numbers, email, website and address. If a detail is missing, uKeep shows you which one. Check it, fix anything in a tap, and it's kept. REMEMBER WHO THEY WERE • Add a note while it's fresh: where you met, what you talked about, what you promised to send • Tap the mic and dictate it, or start from a suggestion • "Met at Event. Send the pricing deck on Monday." The note lives on their contact, so it never gets lost with the card A DIGITAL ROLODEX, SORTED AND SEARCHABLE • Sort people into Leads, Customers, Network, or categories you make • Find anyone by name, company or job title • Give each card a color so the important ones stand out CALL, EMAIL OR WHATSAPP IN ONE TAP • Reach out straight from the card, while you're both still a face and not just a name • Copy a number or an email in one tap, or share a contact to any app • Save any card to your iPhone contacts, every field filled in MADE FOR EVENTS Trade shows, conferences, meetups and meetings. Scan every card the same day, add a line on where you met, and know who needs a follow-up first. No signal at the venue? Cards are kept on your iPhone and upload when you're back online. START IN SECONDS Try uKeep right away, no account needed. When you're ready, sign in with Apple, Google or email: every card you kept comes with you, and a new phone already knows everyone you've met. YOUR CONTACTS ARE YOURS ALONE We never sell your data or share it with advertisers. uKeep never reads the contacts already on your phone: it asks for access only when you choose to save a card, and for the microphone only when you dictate a note. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. UKEEP PRO For people who meet a lot of people. Every account includes 30 scans a month. Pro takes the limits off: • Unlimited scans, every card from every event • Several cards in one photo: lay out the stack, keep them all in one go • Priority support from the uKeep team Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed every 3 months, 6 months or year.
