Your address book is finally worthy of the people in it. Kept Close is a quietly powerful contacts app for people who care about their relationships. It clears the clutter, restores order, and helps you stay close to the people who matter: all with a craft and privacy you can feel. No account. No servers. Nothing ever leaves your iPhone. EFFORTLESS ORDER Merge duplicates with an engine that's genuinely smart: it recognizes nicknames and won't confuse family members who share a name or a line. Surface incomplete and messy cards with Contact Checkup and fix them in a single pass. And when you clean house, nothing is ever lost: everything rests in a 30-day Recycle Bin, ready to restore. MADE TO BE YOURS Profile photos throughout your list. Favorites pinned where you want them. Your own card, set once and shared in a tap. Search that understands you—simply type "tag Sam as VIP" or "doctors in Boston." Light or dark, exactly as you like it. RELATIONSHIPS, TENDED Never be the one who forgets a birthday. A gentle quarterly nudge keeps your address book pristine. And with Kept Close Pro, the full relationship toolkit is yours: • Smart lists that update themselves, with custom icons • Auto-tag your entire address book by role and company • A map of everyone you know, by location • Keep in Touch: a cadence for the people you never want to drift from • Connections and a living family tree • Business card scanning that even captures LinkedIn, Instagram, and X • Unlimited photos per contact • Effortless export and group outreach PRIVATE, ABSOLUTELY Kept Close has no servers, so there is nowhere for your contacts to go. Everything you do stays on your device, full stop. The single exception is the optional map, where Apple's geocoder turns an address into a pin (addresses only, never names). Privacy isn't a setting here. It's the foundation. Beautifully on-device. Quietly indispensable. Kept Close. — Kept Close Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
