Stop paying the “forgot to return it” tax. Keepsafe is a private vault for your receipts and warranties. Snap a receipt, and Keepsafe reads the store, date and total on your device, files it under the item, and reminds you before the return window closes or the warranty runs out. NEVER MISS A RETURN • Every item gets a return-window countdown with reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before it closes. • See everything that is expiring soon on one screen, or month by month on the Timeline. EVERY WARRANTY, IN ONE PLACE • Track the manufacturer warranty, the extended plan, the store guarantee and insurance — all on the same item. • Attach as many receipts, product photos, serial-plate photos and manuals as you need. • Export a claim-ready PDF with the item details, coverage and receipts in one tap. SCAN, DON’T TYPE • Document camera with automatic cropping. • On-device text recognition pre-fills the merchant, date, total and currency. You always get to check before saving. • Import receipts from Photos, PDF files, and from Mail or Safari with the Save to Keepsafe share sheet. • Search by name, brand, merchant, serial number or any text on the receipt. TRUST, BUILT IN • Free, with every feature included. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. • No account. Nothing is uploaded to us — there is no “us”. Your data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud. • Works offline. Syncs across your iPhones via iCloud when you want it to. • Export everything, any time, as CSV or a ZIP with all your attachments. Import from a spreadsheet just as easily. • Optional Face ID lock. ALSO • Home Screen widgets for the next expiries. • Siri: “What’s expiring soon in Keepsafe?” • Items appear in Spotlight search. • Custom categories, tags, and reminder times. • Localized in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Arabic. Keepsafe is made by one independent developer who got tired of losing money to missed returns. If it saves you one, tell a friend.
