About Keeps
Keeps is a notification inbox and history for Android, currently in development. It does two things. It saves the notifications your phone shows, so nothing is lost when you swipe one away or the sender deletes the message. And it keeps the few that need you, such as a question from a friend, a debit alert or a sign-in code, as tickets in an inbox until you mark them Done.
Each ticket has three actions: Open the app it came from, Later to have it come back at a time you pick or the next time you open that app, and Done. From a message ticket you can reply through the app’s own reply, without opening the chat. Tracking numbers, meeting links, amounts and dates in a notification become chips you can copy or open with one tap.
History lists everything Keeps saved, day by day and hour by hour, and you can search all of it, including messages the sender deleted after they arrived. Rules read as sentences: when these apps say these words, at these times, keep it, copy the code, save it quietly, hold it for later or don’t save it at all, and each rule shows what it would have caught in the last 7 days before you save it. Money collects debit and credit alerts with their amounts, and Insights shows which apps notify you most and at what hours.
Keeps uses Android’s notification access to read the notifications your phone shows. What it saves stays in the app on your phone: there is no account, and you can mark any app as private so nothing from it is ever saved. Keeps never replies or taps anything on its own. You choose how long history is kept, and you can lock the app with your fingerprint. If you want a copy elsewhere, Keeps can make a backup locked with a passphrase only you know.
Keeps will be free with a single banner ad. Keeps Pro, one purchase and not a subscription, removes the ad and adds Digest, which holds chatty apps and delivers them together at set times, automatic backups, and a true black dark mode. Keeps sends crash reports so problems can be fixed. None of this ever includes your notifications. See the privacy policy for the details.
Keeps is planned for Android.
