Kept is a digital platform designed to help families preserve and manage their handwritten recipes in a private, living cookbook. It addresses the challenge of keeping cherished family recipes safe and accessible by allowing users to capture and store original recipe cards, complete with stains and handwriting, as digital keepsakes. The service supports transcribing these recipes into clean, typed formats optimized for cooking, while also retaining the original scanned images for sentimental value.
A key feature of Kept is its focus on family heritage and privacy. Each recipe can be attributed to the family member it came from, with dedicated ancestor pages that group all recipes from a particular person. The platform enables families to log each time a recipe is cooked, including the ability to add ratings, reviews, and photos, creating a growing history around each dish. Recipes are private by default, remaining within a family circle unless explicitly shared via a link, ensuring that ownership and access are controlled by the family. There are no ads and no selling of user data, emphasizing user privacy and family ownership.
Kept offers the ability to export recipes at any time, giving users control over their data and the flexibility to take their collection elsewhere if desired. The platform is accessible via web and also offers an iOS app, making it convenient for families to access and contribute to their cookbook from multiple devices. Getting started is free, allowing families to begin preserving their culinary traditions without upfront cost.
the tool is particularly suited for families who want to safeguard, organize, and share their culinary heritage, especially those with handwritten recipes that hold sentimental value.
