Know what you own. Protect what matters. Kept is the only collectibles app built for documentation — not selling. Point your camera at any item and get instant AI identification, a plain-English explanation of what drives the value, and three separate estimates: market value, selling price, and insurance replacement value. No other app gives you the insurance value. No other app explains the why. And no other app works across everything you collect. Not Just Cards. Everything. While other apps are built for card flippers, Kept works across every major collectible category — sports cards, coins, comic books, vinyl records, stamps, antiques, jewelry, memorabilia, trading cards, vintage toys, and more. If you own it, Kept can identify and value it. Three Values, Not One Every scan returns: · Market value — what it's worth today · Selling price — what you'd realistically get · Insurance value — what it would cost to replace The insurance value is the number that matters for estate planning and insurance documentation. No other collectibles app surfaces it. AI That Explains Itself After every scan, Kept shows a plain-English explanation of why your item is worth what it is. "This 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie is valued at $150–$300 in Near Mint condition due to..." No other app does this. Just numbers with no context. Estate & Insurance PDF — One Tap Generate a professional PDF of your entire collection in one tap — item photos, AI identification, all three values, and condition notes — formatted to share with your estate attorney, insurance agent, or family. This feature doesn't exist anywhere else. Condition Picker — You Decide Kept shows you four condition tiers (Mint, Near Mint, Good, Fair/Poor) with a price for each, pre-selects based on your photo, and lets you confirm or change it. Your condition call, your values — not a black box. Completely Private No marketplace. No selling pressure. No public collections. No social feed. Your inventory stays yours. Kept is subscription-only — no ads, ever.
