Everything worth keeping
from every book you've read.
Read on paper, Kindle or audio — Kept isn't where you read. It's where the
thought you had at page 91 is saved. Months later, type one word you remember and
it's back, with the book and the page it came from.
Open beside whatever you're reading — a thought takes seconds and
you go back to the page. And when you finish, five honest questions, because being asked
is what makes it stick.
For people who use what they read — not just finish it.
No account needed. Nothing to download.
Author, page count and cover fill themselves in.
Say it, type it, or photograph the page and crop the bit you want.
Three weeks later. You wrote it — can you place it?
Type a few letters. It finds the book for you.

How it works.
Keep
A line, a page number, a half-formed idea — the moment it lands. Type it, say it, or photograph the page.
Find
One word you remember brings it back months later, from any book, with its page.
Prove
Five questions when you finish the book. A real score, and exactly where you're thin.
It was never about time.
There's a book on your table you haven't opened in a month. Not because you're busy — you found the hours for worse things. It's quieter than that: you already know it won't stay.
Highlighting doesn't help; notes don't either. They record the book — they don't put it in you. Being asked is what makes it stick: retrieving an idea fixes it in memory far more firmly than reading it again ever will. Psychologists call it the testing effect.
You'll know exactly what stayed.
When you turn the last page it asks five questions written for that book — two on its ideas, two on using them in your own life, and one where you argue with the author. It marks you honestly — and then tells you which chapter is worth ten more minutes.
Most people score lower than they expect. That is the useful part — it shows you exactly where to look.
One person, one honest problem.
Hi — I'm Grygorii. I built Kept because I kept finishing books and, a month later, couldn't tell you what was in them. I'd have sworn I knew. I didn't.
It's early. Right now you'd be one of the first people using it — which is the good part: what the first readers say is what gets built next.
Is it free?
Free to start, with a daily allowance that grows as you use it. Later you can support it from €3 a month — or connect your own free AI key and keep it free for good.
Do I read the books in Kept?
No — there are no books in Kept, and it doesn't sell or lend them. You read however you already do: paper, Kindle, a library copy, an audiobook. Kept is where you jot what struck you while you're reading, and where you get tested once you've finished. It never asks you to change how you read.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It opens in your browser and works straight away — no account needed to look around. Once you've kept your first thought, Kept offers to put itself on your home screen, where it opens like any other app. You can say no and it won't ask again.
Why isn't it in the App Store?
Because it doesn't need to be. Tap Add to your phone and Kept installs from this page in one step — an icon on your home screen, opening full screen, no download and no updates to sit through. It also means when you tell me something's wrong I can fix it that day, instead of waiting a week for a review. If enough people ask for a store listing, I'll make one.
What does it actually ask me?
Five questions written for the book you just read — two on its core ideas, two on applying them to your own life, and one where you argue with the author. Nothing you could answer from the blurb.
Who can see my books and notes?
Only you. Nothing leaves your library unless you share a result, and even then only the book, the score and a thought you pick. You can export or delete everything at any time.
Does it work with any book?
Any book, in any language. The exam is written for the specific book you read — fiction, history, business, anything.
