The catalogue for everything your kids create

Everything they make, kept.

Point your camera at the painting, the certificate, the Lego build. FamilyKeepsake reads who made it, what it is and when - on your device - then files it as a real photo with a readable name in your family's own iCloud. Search it, revisit it in Rewind, or turn years of creations into a book.

Reads on your device

The AI runs on the iPhone or iPad in your hand. Photos are never uploaded for AI processing, and nothing is sent to us.

Your files, your iCloud

Keepsakes are real photos and PDFs in your family's own iCloud Drive - not our cloud.

One price. Once.

Capture is free forever. One purchase opens the full archive and Yearbooks. No subscription, ever.

No account. No ads.

The app never asks who you are. Nothing is tracked, measured or sold.

You can't keep it all. And you can't bin it.

Every week they bring home more: a painting still wet at the corners, a swimming certificate, a Lego spaceship you're not allowed to touch. Some of it makes the fridge door. Most of it goes into a bag in a cupboard, waiting for a wet Sunday that never comes.

Photographing it should be the answer - but those photos sink into a camera roll full of screenshots and receipts, unnamed, undated, unfindable. Keeping the memory shouldn't mean typing out who-what-when three hundred times.

FamilyKeepsake makes the photo do the work.

From fridge door to family archive, in seconds.

01

Add your kids

Names and dated school stints, once. From then on the app can match a creation to the school they attended when it was made.

02

Point the camera

Artwork and creations by photo; certificates and reports by document scan. One creation at a time - free forever.

03

Glance at the card

It has read the signature, the date written on it, and what it is - and drafted a description. Fix anything with a tap, or just hit Save.

04

It's a real file now

"Ashton – Certificate – 14 Jun 2025.jpg", in a Certificates folder, in your family's own iCloud Drive.

05

Find it. Relive it.

Search any word on it or about it. Or press Rewind and flick back through the years.

Capture

Seconds from fridge door to filed.

Take the photo, and FamilyKeepsake reads the item on the spot - with Apple Intelligence, on the device in your hand. The name they signed. The date scrawled in the corner. Whether it's a certificate or a masterpiece. The school can come from your family's dated timeline, not a regional year-level guess.

  • Reads the signature and matches it to your kids
  • Never invents a date it can't see
  • Certificates read for what they're for - "1st place, engineering challenge", not "a blue certificate"
  • You review before anything saves - every field is one tap to fix

Your archive

An archive that outlives the app.

Every keepsake is saved as an ordinary photo or PDF with a readable name, foldered by category, in your family's own iCloud Drive. Open them in Files. Copy them anywhere. If FamilyKeepsake vanished tomorrow, your kids' childhood would still be sitting there - organised.

  • Real files, readable names - no export required, ever
  • Each keepsake's facts saved beside it in a plain sidecar file
  • Syncs between supported iPhones and iPads; the ordinary files also open through iCloud Drive on a Mac
  • Delete the app; keep everything

Find

Ask for it in your own words.

Every keepsake is findable by every word connected to it - the words printed on it, the words of the story you told about it, the description the AI wrote for it. "Kaylee swimming certificate" just… finds it.

  • Words on it - every certificate, report and scribbled title is read and kept
  • Words about it - descriptions and your own notes
  • By kid, by year, by type - or all three at once
  • No tagging homework - it all happened at capture

Rewind

Flick back through the years.

Rewind puts the whole collection on a dark stage - newest at the front, the past receding behind. Flick, and a school term flies by. Cross into an earlier year and it announces itself, full screen. It's the shoebox moment, minus the attic.

  • One flick = one step back in time
  • A year rail jumps you straight to 2022
  • Scope to one kid and watch just their story
  • Or press play and let it drift

Voice notes

Their story, in their voice.

Tap the mic while you save and let them explain it. The recording is kept beside the artwork in your archive; the words are transcribed on the device and become searchable. In ten years, that voice will be worth more than the painting.

  • Transcribed on your device, saved word-for-word
  • The audio file lives beside the artwork, forever
  • Say it once - find it by those words years later
Yearbooks

Any kids. Any years. One print-ready book.

Choose one child or the whole family, pick any date range, then choose a Modern or Traditional design. FamilyKeepsake composes the collection into a real PDF on your device - favourites on full feature pages, everything else in date order.

  • Include descriptions and voice-note transcripts
  • Saved automatically to iCloud Drive › FamilyKeepsake › Yearbooks
  • Share it, print it at home, or take it to any print shop
  • Included with the one-time unlock

Capture it when the moment happens.

FamilyKeepsake is a native iPhone and iPad app, built around Apple Intelligence and the places iOS already puts within reach.

On This Day

A Home Screen or Lock Screen widget brings an older creation back, and opens straight into that child's Rewind.

Capture control

Put Capture in Control Center, on the Lock Screen or on the Action Button and open the camera in one step.

Siri and Shortcuts

Say “Capture with FamilyKeepsake” or use the app shortcut from Shortcuts to jump directly into capture.

Share from anywhere

Send a photo or document into FamilyKeepsake from another app. It is read on device and waits in the review inbox.

Your kids' things never reach us.

Many keepsake services upload your children's work to their own cloud. FamilyKeepsake is built the other way around: the AI reads on your device, saved files sync through your private iCloud, and there is no FamilyKeepsake-operated cloud at all.

No cloud AI

Nothing is uploaded for AI processing. Capture and reading work in flight mode.

No account

No sign-up, no email, no password. The app never asks who you are.

Your iCloud, not ours

Files and sync ride on the Apple Account your family already owns.

No analytics, no ads

No developer analytics or advertising SDKs. Nothing is tracked, measured or sold.

No subscription

There are no servers, so there's nothing for a monthly fee to fund.

About things, not faces

It catalogues what your kids make - the artefacts, not the children.

Why we can promise this

FamilyKeepsake has no servers. The AI is Apple silicon in your hand; storage and sync use the private iCloud attached to your Apple Account. We cannot see, receive or hold your family's content - and that isn't a promise resting on a future policy. It's the architecture.

Free to capture. One unlock for the rest.

Capturing their things as they make them is free forever - full AI, no item caps, no trial clocks. One purchase adds the bulk lanes for everything already made and the Yearbook that grows more valuable with every save.

Why no subscription? The AI runs on your device and the files live in your own iCloud. Our costs don't grow with your archive, so your price shouldn't either.

Own the archive. Don't rent it.

Many keepsake services put your kids' work on their servers and tie the archive to an ongoing plan. FamilyKeepsake takes a different route.

Questions parents ask

Where are my kids' keepsakes stored?

In your family's own iCloud Drive, as ordinary photos and PDFs with readable names, organised into folders by category. FamilyKeepsake has no servers - we couldn't hold your photos if we wanted to.

Does the AI upload my photos anywhere?

No photo is uploaded for AI processing. The reading happens on your iPhone or iPad using Apple Intelligence and works in flight mode. FamilyKeepsake sends nothing to us; saved files sync only through your private iCloud.

What happens if I stop using FamilyKeepsake?

Everything stays. Your keepsakes are ordinary files in your own iCloud Drive - named, foldered, and readable by any app. The archive outlives the app, by design.

Is it a subscription?

No - and it never will be. Capturing one creation at a time is free forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks bulk imports, PDF imports, share-sheet saves and Yearbooks. Your local price is shown in the App Store.

What's free, and what does the unlock buy?

Free forever: capture with the camera or document scanner, photos of one creation, full AI reading, unlimited keepsakes, search, Rewind and voice notes. The one-time unlock adds bulk Photos import, PDF import, share-sheet saves and print-ready Yearbooks, and is eligible for Apple Family Sharing.

Which devices does it need?

FamilyKeepsake is built on Apple Intelligence, so it needs iOS or iPadOS 27 on an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or an iPad with an M-series chip. The v1 app runs on iPhone and iPad; its ordinary iCloud Drive files can also be opened on a Mac.

How does it know which of my kids made something?

Kids sign their work. FamilyKeepsake reads the name - even a wobbly one in a corner - and matches it against your family. A joint creation can belong to more than one child.

What about school reports?

Scan them from the app for free, or use the one-time unlock to import a multi-page PDF. The real PDF is archived in your iCloud Drive, every page is read, and the school can be filled from your family's dated school timeline.

Where do my Yearbooks go?

Each finished Yearbook is a standard PDF saved to iCloud Drive › FamilyKeepsake › Yearbooks. Open it again from the app, share it anywhere, print it at home or take it to any print shop.

What if it reads something wrong?

You always see the card before it saves, and every field can be fixed with a tap. Filenames are never built from AI guesses - only from confirmed facts: child, type and date.
