You always mean to remember. That your friend can't stand coriander. That your sister has wanted to see the northern lights since she was nine. That the little place by the market was the best meal of the whole trip. Keeps is a notebook for exactly those things. WRITE IT HOWEVER YOU'D SAY IT One sentence is enough. "Dad loves grilled fish, hates surprises, and wants to see the new museum." Keeps reads that and sorts it into what he loves, what he avoids, and what he'd like to try, then shows you the result before anything is kept. Nothing is saved until you say so, and your own words are kept exactly as you wrote them. Would rather talk? Tell it out loud instead. Nothing appears on screen while you speak, so you can finish your thought without watching words rewrite themselves. They arrive, whole, when you stop. Start a note from the People tab, a widget or Siri, without looking for the person first. THE PEOPLE Everyone gets a page: what they love, what they avoid, what would make a good gift, and the small promises you made. Add someone by choosing them from your contacts: their name, photo and a few details come across once, and nothing else is read. Keep the little facts too: where they live, what they do, their sizes, how you met, and anything else worth knowing, like a pet's name or a coffee order. Your closest people stay at the top. THE DAYS THAT MATTER Birthdays, anniversaries, the day you met, or a day you name yourself, like your first date. Each one can nudge you ahead of time, without spelling out the gift ideas where others might see them. They all gather under Coming up, on your Home and Lock Screen too, and every gift idea waits on one page, so the one you had in March is still there in November. Once you give it, mark it as given. THE PLACES Places opens on a map. Tap a place on it, say in a sentence how it was, and keep it. Or share a place to Keeps straight from Apple Maps or Google Maps. A destination holds everything you found there (the restaurant, the beach, the shop you'd go back to) across every visit, with the videos and links you saved about it. Two trips to the same city are two different things, so each trip keeps its own people and its own story. See one visit at a time, or all of it at once. Any place opens in the map app you use. PLANNING A TRIP Pick the days, who's coming and which places on which day. The plan reminds you what those people love and what they avoid, and suggests the places there you've been wanting to try. Keep what's good to know about the city and what not to forget before you leave, with a reminder the day before if you like. You can hand a whole destination to a friend as a file, with your tips. Your own notes are yours to include or leave out. WHERE IT ALL LIVES On your phone, and in your own iCloud so you don't lose it along with the phone. You can turn that off in Settings. No account to make, no ads, and your notes are read and sorted on the device. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Arabic, switchable inside the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keeps at none against Day Counter's 2. Keeps also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
