Keepsake is a free iPhone app for family caregiving — a shared care folder where the people looking after a loved one keep notes, tasks, voice memos, scanned documents, and updates in one place. It is made for the small group actually doing the day-to-day work of caring for an aging parent or another family member.
Caring for a parent or partner spreads information across texts, notes apps, paper, and several people’s memories. Keepsake pulls it into one shared folder. A family keeps the current medication list, the appointment dates, the running task list, photos of discharge papers, and voice memos from a doctor visit in a single place everyone helping can see. The aim is plain: less time spent managing care, fewer dropped handoffs, and one version of what’s happening instead of five.
Who makes Keepsake
Keepsake is built by a small team that lived the problem first — a loved one, a folder full of paper, and too many people trying to help from too many places. The app is free, runs no ads, and does not sell family data. You can read more in our privacy policy.
Keepsake the caregiving app, not the other “Keepsake” things
“Keepsake” is a common name, so a quick clarification. Keepsake here is the family caregiving app at keepsakecares.com. It is not a digital photo-frame service, not a photo or password vault with a similar name, and not a senior-living, assisted-living, or memory-care facility. If you searched for Keepsake caregiving, Keepsake care, or the Keepsake app and meant a tool that helps a family coordinate a loved one’s care, you’re in the right place.
What Keepsake is not
Keepsake is not a clinical record and is not HIPAA-protected; for a hospital-grade record, ask your provider. It is iPhone-only as of this writing, so a family split across iOS and Android should wait for the Android release or use a cross-platform tool in the meantime. And it is not built to broadcast updates to a wide circle of friends and neighbors. It is for the few people carrying the daily work.
Frequently asked questions
What is Keepsake?
Keepsake is a free iPhone app for family caregiving. It gives the people looking after a loved one one shared place for notes, tasks, voice memos, scanned documents, and updates, so the daily work of caring for an aging parent or family member doesn’t live scattered across texts and one person’s memory. It is made for a small family group rather than a wide circle.
Is Keepsake a free app?
Yes. Keepsake is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases today, and it does not sell family data. It is available on the App Store for iPhone. An Android version is in active development, and you can join the Android waitlist to hear when it ships.
What does Keepsake caregiving do?
Keepsake keeps a family’s caregiving information in one shared folder: the medication list, appointments, a running task list, photos of documents, and voice memos. Everyone added to the loved one’s profile sees the same record, with per-person permissions for viewing, editing, or ownership. The point is to coordinate care across a few people without it turning into a buried group chat.
Is Keepsake a senior living or memory care facility?
No. Several senior-living and memory-care brands use the word “Keepsake,” but this Keepsake is a caregiving app at keepsakecares.com, not a residence or care facility. It is software a family uses to organize and share a loved one’s care, wherever that person lives.
Who makes Keepsake and is it private?
Keepsake is built by a small independent team that set out to make family caregiving less fragmented. It runs no third-party ads and does not sell user data, and only the people you add to a loved one’s profile can see what’s in it. The full details are in the privacy policy on the site.
Does Keepsake work on Android?
Not yet. Keepsake is iPhone-only as of this writing, with an Android version in active development. If your family is split across iOS and Android right now, join the Android waitlist for an update, and consider a cross-platform caregiver app until the Android release is ready.
