What is Keepin?
Keepin is a smart storage app designed to transform the way you organize. Using item recognition and physical tags (stickers and more), we enable you to track, manage, and access your belongings way better than before. Our patent pending technology combines your phone and affordable accessories in one easy to use system. You can catalog a few things, a lot of things, as many of your things as you’d like!
How does it work?
With your phone’s camera Keepin recognizes the item you show, and remembers where you put it! Encrypted and privately stored while taking very little space. With QR/NFC (Near Field Communication) tags you can designate an area as small as a box or even bigger than a room, and with them the app will know exactly where you last put something. It doesn’t generate images, just keeps track of your real stuff!
If you have a home, office, or storage unit Keepin can remember which items are in what place. Almost everything can be a smart item.
You go shopping and see something you like. But you wonder “Will these shoes match a lot of my clothes, or do I already have a book like this?” If you check in the app it’ll easily let you know!
Do you collect something cool and interesting? Keepin can help keep a detailed inventory and understand what you have, so if you like dinosaur figurines it can suggest more kinds to add. Check out Olorotitan!
Browse your books before you get home, and if you want to you can share them with others! Groups of households, friends, and larger social ones are planned.
Holding a teddy bear and wondering about the history of its origins? You can ask and it’ll be able to link you to a reference site that tells you all about Teddy Roosevelt and the history behind the plush toy
It can even remember the things you use the most and suggest those first, as well as who in your household owns what when you tell the app.
A combination of QR codes, NFC tags, and an AI chatbot.
Why Keepin is Needed:
Clutter and disorganization can add unnecessary stress, and who wouldn’t want to locate things more easily? Whether you're a busy professional, a parent managing a household, or someone who values a tidy living space, this nifty system is highly customizable to help almost everyone with something.
According to Lostings.com, the average person may spend up to 2.5 days a year looking for things. This can add up to 200 days in an average life! 60% of people reported being late to something due to not being able to find something, and the yearly cost of missing stuff is estimated to be in the billions.
Existing sticker solutions require manually typing in what every single thing is, which can only be referenced by typing in the exact name later. And expensive location tracking tags on the market are impossible/don’t make sense to put on every single thing you own. Our smart system can identify and catalog almost everything you have, and understand them like a personal assistant for whatever you need.

Understanding How It Can Be Used
Keepin is an innovative application designed to help you keep track of your belongings, whether they're in a storage unit, your home, or on the go. While it provides unparalleled solutions for many scenarios, it’s important to understand its capabilities and limitations to make the most out of it.
Child-Friendly Tracking: In homes with children, items may be moved around frequently. For these situations, Keepin includes a feature to catalog items as belonging to a specific person or category rather than a fixed location. For example, you can catalog toys, books, or clothing as items that belong to a child, knowing they might be moved around the house.
Shared Access: In households where multiple people need access, Keepin allows for shared catalogs. Family members can add or update item locations, ensuring everyone stays informed.
Keepin offers unique solutions that aren't available elsewhere. It is designed to fill the gaps in current item tracking and organization systems. Whether items are in a fixed location or frequently moved, Keepin ensures you know what you have and where it belongs. It can solve many problems that current solutions do not.
