Why it feels different

Paper stays physical.

Kept By is built for the folds, edges, handwriting, and texture that make a letter or card feel worth keeping.

Meaning stays attached.

Dates, senders, and small notes can live beside the image, so a keepsake is remembered as more than a photo in a camera roll.

Privacy stays a choice.

Private context stays opt-in: image-only when simple is enough, more context only when you choose it.

Kept By is designed as a calm home for the paper memories people cannot throw away.
