WHY KEPT • Private by architecture. Everything stays on your iPhone by default. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no cross-app tracking.

Designed with the care of your favorite note app, not a generic utility. ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK • Categories, Stacks, and Spaces — group documents by topic, project, person, or property. • Powerful full-text search finds any document by its content, not just its name. • Multi-category documents — a receipt can live in "Tax" and "Home" at once. DOCUMENTS THAT ASK FOR ACTION • kept reads your documents on your device and suggests what to do: Pay, Sign, Reply, Review, Renew, or watch an expiry date. • Get a reminder before your passport, insurance, or warranty runs out. • Sign PDFs with your finger and share them in seconds.
