Kept
Every receipt has a deadline. Photograph it once and Kept sets the return window, the warranty and your card's extra year, then reminds you before each closes.
- Photograph a receipt or serial plate; the store, date, total and card are read on the phone
- Clocks for the return window, manufacturer warranty, card extension, statutory rights and receipt fade
- A reminder before each deadline closes, and a claim pack in the order card issuers ask for
- Return desk view with the barcode, deadline, card and policy on one screen
- Household export and import, encrypted backups with photos, and a printable insurance inventory
- Six interface languages and ten receipt languages

Return desk: everything the counter needs 
Return desk: everything the counter needs
Kept is where receipts go so their deadlines are not missed. Photograph a receipt or a serial plate and Kept reads the store, the date, the total and the card on your phone. It then sets every clock attached to that purchase: the retailer’s return window, the manufacturer warranty, the extra year a credit card adds and its notice window, your statutory rights in your country, and the day a thermal receipt will fade to nothing.
When something breaks
Kept pushes a reminder before each clock closes. When you need to claim, it builds the pack in the order Amex and Chase ask for, with a cover letter and the deadline. The Return desk screen puts the barcode, the deadline, the card and the store’s policy on one screen for the counter.
Rules with provenance
Retail and card policies change, so every retailer, country, card and brand rule in Kept records its source and the date it was last checked. The app shows where each date came from (“Read from receipt”, “Looked up”, “Assumed, tap to set”) and lets you override any of them.
Your receipts never come to us
Items, photos and settings stay on your device. Receipt reading runs on the phone. There is no account, no Kept server and no analytics. The only network calls are the ones you start, such as refreshing a product recall feed. You can also keep Kept out of your phone’s own backup if you prefer.
Kept was developed under the working name Warranty Wall.
Accessibility and standards
What Kept is built and checked against, in plain words. These are our own checks, not third-party certifications. About these standards.
- WCAG 2.1 AA
- The international accessibility checklist for the web, at the level most laws point to: readable contrast, keyboard operation, labels a screen reader can read, and no meaning carried by color alone.
- Multiple languages
- The interface is translated, and dates, plurals and layouts adapt to the language. Each product page lists its languages.
- Works offline
- Every main task works in airplane mode after the first install. Nothing waits on a server to let you do your work.
- No data collection
- The app gathers nothing about you: no analytics, no advertising identifiers, no tracking, and no server of ours. Its App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected.
- Apple privacy manifest
- A file Apple requires inside every app that states what data it collects and why it uses certain system features. Ours declare no tracking and no collection.
- Encrypted backups
- Backup files are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, using the same family of encryption that banks use. We cannot open them, and cannot recover a lost passphrase.
- Strict Content Security Policy
- The web pages tell the browser to run no outside scripts. That blocks a whole class of attacks and keeps third-party trackers out by construction.
- Your data in open formats
- Exports come out as CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF or RSS: files any spreadsheet, text editor or reader can open, with no need for our software.
Questions about Kept
Does Kept run on Android as well as iPhone?
Yes. Kept is one app built for iPhone, Android and the web, with home-screen and lock-screen widgets on both phones. Your items stay on whichever device you use; there is no Kept account to sync them through.
How does Kept know my credit card adds a year of warranty?
From a rules table of card benefits (American Express, Chase, Visa Signature and Infinite, Mastercard World and World Elite, UK Section 75 and chargeback rights), each with its source and the date it was last checked. Kept matches the card on the receipt and shows the rule it applied, and you can override any date.
Do my receipts get uploaded anywhere?
No. Receipt reading runs in the app on your phone, items and photos live in the app's own storage, and there is no Kept server. The only network calls are ones you start, such as refreshing a product recall feed. You can also keep Kept out of your phone's own cloud backup.
What happens after the free 10 items?
The first 10 items are free with every clock and reminder. Pro is a one-time purchase of $6.99 that removes the limit and adds the claim pack, the household wall and all widgets. Backups, exports and the printable insurance inventory stay free on every plan.
