A private place for your family’s stories

Your family gets a book, not a login.

Talk for ten quiet minutes at a time. Kept4 turns it into a Letter to Heirs and a Keepsake Book — kept private until you choose who it’s for.

No card required for your first conversation.  ·  Giving Kept4 as a gift?

The cover of a finished Kept4 book: a real night sky with The Life & Words of Eleanor Whitfield set in white

Kept4 asks

“What did your mother’s kitchen smell like on a Sunday?”

This is what your family actually gets — see the real pages below.

Why families use it

Documents keep things. Kept4 keeps the meaning.

A ring without the story is just a ring. Kept4 holds the voice, the photo, and the why beside the what.

A gentle AI interviewer

Talk through what you want your family to know.

Your Story So Far

Conversations become chapters and a Letter to Heirs.

Possessions with their story

Photos, recipients, and meaning beside each heirloom.

Private until you choose

Nothing leaves your archive until you share it.

The book they’ll hold

This is what your stories become.

Real pages from a finished Kept4 book — a 6×9 hardcover, printed on heavyweight coated paper, with their night sky on the cover and their actual voice behind the small codes. Eleanor’s book is our demonstration; yours will be entirely your own.
