A moment, kept

Say one thing worth keeping.

One sentence, one photograph, or twenty seconds of your voice. Free to make. Ten dollars keeps ten of them for the life of the archive — each at an address you can hand to anyone.

What would you want someone to know, a hundred years from now?

Speaking or filming asks your phone’s permission — one tap, only while you record.

Nothing leaves this device until you choose to keep it.

Speak plainly. It stops on its own at ninety seconds.

Look into the camera and speak. It stops on its own at ninety seconds.

Your moment

If you keep it below, it becomes a page anyone can open. Whoever has the address can read it, and it cannot be made private later. Write something you would be glad to hand to your family.

For your eyes only? The Keeping seals privately, under a passphrase only you hold.

Paid once. Never a subscription. This moment uses one of the ten — the other nine wait in your purse for whenever a moment is worth keeping.

Keeping it on this device stays private — nothing is sent anywhere.

Kept

It is pinned to the open network and it is yours. This address will answer for the life of the archive.
