Questions & Story
Cost, storage, privacy and why Keepsake was built.
“I wanted to journal for my son so there’d be something for him to hear when he’s older, and a way for him to get to know his dad, and who his dad was when he was just a baby. I’m not much of a writer; I’m more of a talker. Keepsake started as an iOS Shortcut and a spreadsheet. Now it’s for anyone with someone to talk to.”
— The creator of Keepsake
How much does Keepsake cost?
Free for 30 days with full features. After that, a single $9.99 one-time purchase unlocks it for life. No monthly subscription, no ads, and no per-event fees for guestbooks.
What happens to my memos if I don't pay?
All your existing memos remain 100% playable, searchable, and exportable on your iPhone and in your cloud backups forever. We never hold your memories hostage.
Are there storage fees?
No. Memos live on your iPhone and back up to storage you already have—your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive as plain audio files and transcripts.
Who can hear my memos?
Only you and the people you share with. Transcription runs locally on your iPhone, and Face ID can lock the app.
Do guests or family need the app?
No. Guests leave messages and family listen directly in any web browser. Family who want to record memos on their own iPhone can add them with Keepsake.
Can I bring in voice memos I already have?
Yes. Share them straight from Apple Voice Memos or Files, and Keepsake transcribes, titles, and dates them—one memo or a whole folder at a time.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 26. Intelligent titles and summaries need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.
