KEEP: the connected keychain that keeps your people close

KEEP is a connected keychain that carries a note from the people you love. They write to you in the free app — a few words, a drawing, a sticker — from anywhere in the world. You get a notification, hold your phone to your keychain for a couple of seconds, and their note appears on the little e-ink screen, where it stays until the next one arrives. No battery to charge, no WiFi, no Bluetooth — just a piece of someone who loves you, with you wherever you go.

Every note starts in the free KEEP app — on iPhone and Android. Write a few words, doodle by hand, or drop a sticker, preview it, and send. It lands on your person's KEEP the next time they tap their phone to it.

A notification lands on your phone. Open the KEEP app, hold your phone to the keychain for a second or two, and the new note appears on the e-ink screen — no pairing, no battery, nothing to charge.

Our team spent eight months making KEEP minimalist — and making sure it's high-quality, durable and effortless to use. The hard part wasn't adding features; it was leaving them out.

KEEP isn't a promise from strangers. It's the second hardware product from the team that has been shipping connected wooden Loveboxes since its first Kickstarter in 2017.

It started here, in 2017 — €270,931 from 2,881 backers for the first wooden Lovebox. This June, we come back to where it all began, for KEEP.

“He's deployed six months at a time. Every morning there's a new note waiting on the screen. It's the first thing he looks for.”

— Marina · Lovebox owner since 2020

“My dad doesn't text. He draws. A wonky little sun, most mornings. I'd frame every one of them if I could.”

— Théo · since 2021

“Grandma doesn't have WiFi and never will. This is the only 'gadget' she's ever kept switched on.”

— Lena · since 2018

“My daughter left for university in another country. The Lovebox stayed on her old desk. Now she can take one with her.”

— Pascale · since 2019

KEEP wasn't designed in a meeting — it was designed in your inbox. Ten years ago we put love in a wooden box; for a decade you've told us what you wished it could do. KEEP is that wish-list, built: the same heart, made to travel.

For ten years, we've read variations of the same three emails:

"I love my Lovebox. I wish I could carry it with me."

— Sophie, Lovebox owner since 2019

"I want one for my grandmother. But she doesn't have WiFi."

— Tom, Lovebox owner since 2021

"I send messages to my kids when I travel. I wish they could send me real ones back."

— Anna, Lovebox owner since 2018

For ten years, we wrote back: "we hear you, we're working on it." Now, we don't have to anymore.

KEEP didn't come off a spec sheet. It came from eight months of prototypes, dead ends and late nights — and from people in our community who carried early units every day and told us, bluntly, what to fix. By the time it reached this page, it had already lived in real pockets, on real keyrings, on real bags.

"I loved helping the LoveTeam build this — from the glitchy first version to the later ones that just worked and quietly became part of my routine."

— one of our KEEP beta testers

The discount runs in waves. The earlier you back, the deeper the cut — and the fewer there are. Once a wave's units are gone, the next opens at a smaller discount. Add engraving to any reward afterward.

Every bulk tier ships with the KEEP for Business apps, API access and custom-logo engraving. Made to order — ships after the consumer waves. Need an in-between quantity? Pick the nearest tier and add the extra to your pledge — we bill the additional units at the same per-unit price.

Need custom packaging, a white-label app, or anything we haven't listed? Tell us what you're planning at [email protected] and we'll scope it and send a quote.

Some shops are always first. Back KEEP on Kickstarter and yours becomes one of the very first in the world to carry it — on your shelves months before it reaches open retail. Made for the concept stores, design boutiques and museum counters that like to be a step ahead of the room.

Wholesale prices, for resale. Need an in-between quantity? Pick the nearest pack and add the extra to your pledge — we bill the additional units at the same per-unit price.

Bigger volumes, custom packaging or any custom inquiry? Write to [email protected] and we'll send a quote.

The lowest price it will ever be. Up to half off the $60 retail price — but only in the early waves, and only while they last.

Be among the very first to carry one. Early-wave backers get the first units off the line, shipping September 2026.

You brought it into the world. Your pledges funded the first production run — we passed our $10,000 goal. Every pledge now pushes toward the next stretch goal, free for everyone in the app.

Put a little more love out there. In a world that feels noisier and further apart than ever, you're helping land some warmth in someone's pocket.

The early waves go in order, and they don't come back — backing now locks the best price and the earliest spot.

A stretch goal works like this: the more the campaign raises past its target, the more we get to build. The KEEP itself ships no matter what — but every milestone we pass together unlocks a new feature, free, in the app the people you love already hold.

The design is finished and tested. This campaign funds the production run — not the invention. Here's the plan.

1. Now · June 2026The campaign is live. Back a wave before it sells out and lock your price.
2. July 2026Campaign closes. We send every backer a short form to confirm delivery details and collect engraving.
3. Jul–Aug 2026Production tooling, a final validation build and certification — mostly done already; this is the confirmation pass.
4. September 2026The first 600 KEEPs ship — the earliest waves and 2017 backers first, with unit-by-unit quality control.
5. October 2026Every remaining KEEP ships, from our European and US fulfilment hubs — closer to you, fewer customs surprises.

We ship KEEP anywhere in the world.

Shipping is free to the US, the EU, Switzerland, China and Hong Kong. For the UK and Canada, it's a flat $10 — for any reward. Everywhere else, it's a flat $20. Business and retail orders include shipping.

We fulfil locally wherever we can — so for the EU, the US, China and Hong Kong there are no import taxes. For other destinations, your country may charge import duties when KEEP arrives; those aren't included in your pledge.

Where your order ships from

• California, USA → United States & Canada
• China → China
• Hong Kong → Hong Kong
• Paris, France → Europe & the rest of the world

Designed in France by the small team that has shipped Lovebox for a decade — with the same factory and fulfilment partners behind the 300,000 units of Lovebox we shipped.
