Keptt is the shared photo gallery for your events. Start a space for any occasion: a party, an event, a wedding, a trip, a night out - and everyone who's there adds their photos and videos to one collective gallery. No more begging friends for their camera roll the next day. Every moment, kept in one place. HOW IT WORKS • Create an event in seconds and set where and when it's happening. • Invite people with a tap — share a link or let them scan your event's QR code. • Everyone snaps. Everyone sees. One gallery, filling up in real time. • Heart your favourite shots so the best moments rise to the top. • Save any photo — or the whole gallery — straight to your camera roll. BUILT FOR REAL EVENTS • Pin your event on a map so guests can find it. • On-site mode: only let people at the venue add photos, so the gallery stays authentic to the night. • Hosts can approve photos before they appear, and keep the gallery tidy. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Private events are invite-only. • Report or block anyone, any time. • Your account and everything in it can be deleted from the app whenever you want. Photos, videos, friends, group chat, and a map of your events — Keptt keeps the whole night together.
