The memories worth keeping deserve more than a camera roll.
Keepsake helps you preserve the things you can’t replace — children’s artwork, handwritten cards, letters, and meaningful objects — so they’re easier to revisit over time.

Why Keepsake exists
There's a pile. You know the pile.
The shoebox in the wardrobe. The drawer that doesn't quite close. The shelf with a child's first painting, a grandmother's last birthday card, a letter you've read a hundred times and can't throw away.
"These aren't just photos. They're the things that will matter in twenty years."
Keepsake was built because nothing else treated these objects with the weight they deserve. Not a camera roll. Not a cloud drive. Something that captures the story alongside the image — and brings it back to you at the right moment.
What it does
Capture more than an image
Every keepsake type has its own guided capture flow. Every memory carries its own story.
Smart Capture
Different keepsakes deserve different kinds of capture. Artwork and letters are preserved cleanly, while meaningful objects can be captured in rich 3D.
Memory Boxes
Create personalised memory boxes for the people, moments, and seasons that matter most — just like the real boxes already sitting in homes and wardrobes.
3D Model Viewing
Revisit handmade objects from every angle — preserving not just how they looked, but the shape and presence they had in your hands.
AR Experience
Bring keepsakes back into your space — place a drawing on the kitchen table or revisit an object as though it were still sitting beside you.
Rich Context
Add the little details that are easy to forget later — who made it, how old they were, and why this moment mattered.
Gentle Reminders
Occasional reminders quietly bring meaningful keepsakes back into view — gentle moments to pause and look back.
Genuinely Private
Your memories stay in your iCloud account, not on Keepsake servers. No account to create, no ads, and no personal data collected, sold or shared.
iCloud Sync
Your keepsakes stay available across your Apple devices automatically and privately through iCloud.

Your memories are not our business.
Most apps treat your data as a product. Keepsake treats it as something you trusted it with. The privacy model isn't a feature bolted on at the end — it's a structural decision made at the start.
Your keepsakes live in your iCloud account. There is no Keepsake server where they are stored. This is not a marketing claim. It is how the app is architecturally built.
Read the Privacy PolicyStored in your iCloud
All content is in your personal CloudKit private database. Only your Apple ID can access it.
No account required
No sign-up, no email, no password. There is no Keepsake account to create or leak.
No ads, ever
Keepsake makes money through subscriptions, not by selling your attention or your data.
Anonymous analytics and crash reports
TelemetryDeck counts how features are used, and Sentry receives crash reports so problems can be fixed. Neither ever sees your keepsakes, and neither knows who you are.

Questions
Good to know
Is Keepsake private?
Yes. Your keepsakes are stored in your own iCloud account. There is no Keepsake server that holds them, and there are no ads.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Keepsake uses your Apple ID and iCloud, so there is nothing to sign up for.
What does it cost?
Keepsake is free for up to 5 keepsakes and 2 Memory Boxes. Premium is $3.99 a month or $19.99 a year in USD, and the price is adjusted for your region. The pricing section above shows the price for your part of the world, and the App Store shows the final amount.
What is a Memory Box?
A place to gather keepsakes the way you would in a real box, and take it down to look through. A keepsake can live in more than one box.
What can I do with 3D and AR?
Cards open, letters turn their pages, and handmade objects can be viewed from every angle. Viewing a keepsake in AR, in your own space, is part of Premium.
Which devices does it work on?
Keepsake is made for iPhone (iOS 26 or later). It also runs in compatibility mode on iPad, Mac and Apple Vision, and versions made for other devices are on the roadmap.
What happens to my keepsakes if I stop paying?
Nothing is taken away. Everything you have saved stays in your iCloud and in the app. If you are over the free limit, you just can’t add new keepsakes, or restore deleted ones, until you subscribe again.
Built by one person, for his own pile.
Keepsake was made by Harry Brown of Chaotic Good Creations, in New Zealand. It began as a solution to a familiar problem: things that matter, kept in a drawer, slowly forgotten. It's self-funded, with no investors and no team — built mostly early in the morning. Questions or ideas? Say hello. I post the occasional update on how it's built on Threads.
The pile deserves better than a drawer.
