The Keep is a calm home for everything you decorate with. Snap a photo, and your piece becomes a clean cutout — kept, searchable, and ready to plan with. No more mystery bins. No more buying twice. No more having to unpack everything to map out your decor. KEEP EVERYTHING Photograph your pieces and The Keep lifts them from the background automatically. Add notes, tags, and details. Your whole collection, in your pocket. KNOW EVERY BIN Map your storage — places, shelves, totes, boxes. Know exactly which container holds the ceramic pumpkin before you climb into the attic. REMEMBER EVERY SETUP Track your spaces season by season. Then & Now shows you last year's mantel beside this year's — how it looked, so you can rebuild it or top it. PLAN NEW LOOKS Build boards with your real pieces, not stock photos. Tie ideas to things you actually own. WISH SMARTER Keep a wishlist so you never rebuy what's already in tote #3 and are able to use it in decorating markups to see how it fits in. YOURS, PRIVATELY No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Your collection lives on your phone, period. The Keep is free for your first 100 pieces. Unlock unlimited with an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Built by a collector, for collectors — because the fun part of decorating should be the only part left.
