Keepin was launched by Nana Qi, a busybody who barely had time to put things away and lost more time looking for them.
She wanted a way to ease the pain of constantly missing possessions, and realized that the ingredients to the solution already exist!
By combining regular storage containers, AI item recognition, QR tags and a smartphone, you can have a pocket assistant who makes organization and item location a breeze. And feel the absolute relief that there's a solution for the rest of yout life.
The app has won awards from pitch competitions, as well as being selected from a number of applications for a free professional prototyping session.

Samuel Libenzon
PR/Marketing
Samuel N. Libenzon, a Newton, MA local, took a break from his marketing and PR company to dip his toes into the corporate world. But the call of entrepreneurship pulled him back, and in December 2023, he dove back into his agency full-time.
Beyond the office, he's often out for a jog, hitting the streets or hitting the courts for a game of tennis (even if he's still finding his footing!). His love for the beach extends to Cape Cod and Riviera Maya, Mexico, where he finds solace and inspiration.
During his college years, he lived in Brighton and Fenway, adding to his appreciation for the vibrant city of Boston.
The team at Designli are creating a one of a kind app experience. Their full time dedication to the project is helping to bring the vision of accessible item tracking to life.
Their various experts and innate interest in the project has resulted in an incredibly professional interface, that will be available to all users with Keepin.
