Kept Clipboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kept is a private, encrypted library for the text, links, and images you deliberately choose to save. Nothing is captured in the background — you decide what goes in. SAVE ONLY WHAT YOU CHOOSE Kept never watches the clipboard. Add an item with the visible Paste button, the Share Sheet from any app, or a Shortcut you run yourself. Shortcuts can save without unlocking, and the item appears the next time you open Kept. ENCRYPTED, THEN LOCKED Every item is encrypted on device with AES-256-GCM. The key is protected by the Secure Enclave, and a cold launch always requires Face ID or Touch ID — with no passcode fallback. Choose what the lock covers: the whole app, selected folders, or a single clip. Changing any lock setting requires biometrics again. ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK • Folders and tags, sortable by name or your own manual order • Pin, search, copy, edit, and sort saved items • Nest sub-items under a clip for related notes and images • Album view gathers every saved image in one grid; swipe between them full screen HIDDEN MODE Mark sensitive clips as hidden and they disappear completely from the library, search, and counts. Unlock Hidden mode with biometrics to reveal or manage them; it re-hides automatically when you leave or background Kept. IMAGES & RICH TEXT Save images and formatted text, keep them under a clip, and copy or share them whenever you need. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account • No advertising • No analytics or tracking SDKs • No background clipboard monitoring • No cloud upload in this version Kept is free for up to 20 saved items. A one-time Kept Pro purchase unlocks unlimited encrypted items — no subscription.
