Kept Notes

Keep notes simple.

Kept Notes is a fast, flexible notes app for everything from quick thoughts and shopping lists to photos, drawings, reminders and important files.

Use Kept entirely on your device with no account or server required. When you want your notes on more than one device, you can add Kept Cloud for easy sync and backup — or connect Kept to your own self-hosted server.

YOUR NOTES, YOUR WAY

• Use Kept completely offline on your phone or tablet
• Sync across devices with optional Kept Cloud
• Self-host Kept if you want full control of your own server
• Access synced notes from the web
• Import your existing notes from Google Keep

MORE THAN JUST TEXT

Create the kind of note you need:

• Rich text notes
• Checklists and nested checklists
• Photos and image notes
• Drawings
• Links and attachments
• Labels and colours
• Reminders
• Location-based reminders

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE

Kept is designed to stay quick and approachable even as your collection grows. Pin important notes, organize with labels, search your notes, customize colours, and use home-screen widgets to keep useful information close at hand.

Your notes remain available even when you're offline, so losing your connection doesn't mean losing access to your information.

SYNC WITHOUT THE SERVER SETUP

Want your notes automatically available across your phone, tablet and the web?

Kept Cloud provides managed sync, backup and web access without requiring you to set up or maintain a server yourself.

Prefer to run things yourself? Kept remains fully self-hostable, with Docker support for users who want complete control over their deployment.

MOVING FROM GOOGLE KEEP?

Kept can import your Google Keep Takeout data, making it easier to bring your existing notes with you instead of starting over.

OPEN SOURCE

Kept is open source. The source code is publicly available, and self-hosting remains a first-class option.

Whether you want a simple offline notes app, effortless multi-device sync, or a notes server you control yourself, Kept lets you choose the setup that works for you.
