About

Kept

Read full description

Kept is a quiet place for the little paper things you do not want to lose. Save tickets, receipts, cards, labels, and small keepsakes as a private visual collection. Capture an item, let Kept trim it into a clean object, then place it on a canvas that feels more like a memory board than a folder. What you can do: - Capture paper keepsakes with the camera or import from Photos - Keep unplaced items in a simple pool until you know where they belong - Arrange objects on personal canvases - Browse, rename, and revisit collections - Add small notes to remember why each item mattered - Keep your collection local first, with optional iCloud sync through your private iCloud account Kept is for slow collecting, not inbox zero. It is built for the ticket from a first show, the receipt from a tiny cafe, the card you nearly threw away, and the small proof that a day happened. No account is required. Kept does not run ads, does not use third-party analytics SDKs, and does not collect your personal data.
