Zines

Answers you can look at. zines turns anything you're curious about into a visual story. Type a question — or a half-formed thought — and get back a set of full-bleed cards you swipe through, instead of a page of text you have to get through. Some things are just easier to see. How big a blue whale actually is. What your body is doing during a panic attack. What the world looks like to an octopus. zines is built for those. How it works Type it. Watch it build. Swipe through it. Keep what you like. What you get • Ask in plain language — no prompt engineering, no settings to fiddle with. Type it the way you'd say it out loud. • Visual, not textual — every answer comes back as a designed card, sized for your screen and built to be understood at a glance. • Swipe the whole story — each card carries the idea a step further, so you can go as deep as you want or stop at the first one. • Ask again, differently — not quite it? Nudge the prompt and watch a new set build. • Save to Photos — keep any card, or turn on auto-save and every finished story lands in your camera roll on its own. • A library that remembers — everything you've made stays in one grid you can pinch to zoom, ready to reopen or send. What people use it for Understanding something new. Explaining an idea to someone else. Studying. Settling the 2am question. Making something just because it'll look good. Why it's different Most answers are written to be read. These are made to be looked at — and to be worth keeping when you're done. If you think better in pictures than in paragraphs, this is built for you.

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.
