Kept is a warranty tracker with no account, no ads, no subscription and no data collection. Snap the receipt, note the serial, set the coverage. Kept warns you 30 days and 7 days before a warranty ends, so the repair is free because you could find the proof. WHAT IT DOES • Log a purchase in about twenty seconds including receipt photos, serial number, price, store • Quiet warnings before coverage ends (you choose: 90, 30, or 7 days out) • Serial numbers detected from your receipt photo, entirely on your device • An "expiring soon" widget for your Home Screen • One-tap serial copy when you're on the phone with support • Export everything as a file anytime, your records are yours WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No account. No ads. No subscription. No analytics. • Nothing you enter ever leaves your phone. Our App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected" because we don't. Kept is free, forever. Every feature. If it earns a place on your Home Screen or saves you a repair bill there's a tip jar in Settings.
