Does my parent need a smartphone or an app?
They never create an account or sign in. They need a phone that can get texts and open a link. Nothing to download, no password.
Questions
How often will they get a text?
About every other day, one question per text. The organizer can pause a storyteller anytime. Storytellers can reply STOP to stop texts.
What if they don't want to answer a question?
They just don't answer. Nothing is required and there's no streak to break. The family organizer can also skip a question or pause prompts.
How long is each recording?
Up to 60 seconds. Short on purpose, so it's easy to say yes.
Can both of my parents use it?
Yes. Add each parent as their own storyteller in the same family. They each get their own texts and their own link.
Who can hear the recordings?
Only the family members you invite with your code. Share it only with people you'd trust to help manage Memories.
What does the music bed sound like?
Soft, light, and reflective, sitting under the voice and never over it. Keepsake rotates through a set of soft music beds.
Can we add photos?
Yes, optionally. Upload one from the phone's library. AI-suggested images, when offered, are labeled.
How do they stop the texts?
Reply STOP at any time. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.
Who runs Keepsake?
Keepsake is operated by Hi5 CMO LLC. It was started by Brett Kozimor, who built it for his own parents.
