About this app

KeepUp is a simple idea: an app that helps us stay in touch with the friends we love but never see, the parents we keep meaning to call, and the people we swore we'd never lose touch with.

Today, we have more ways to stay in touch than any generation in history, and somehow we talk to people less. Social media gave us proximity to everyone we've ever met and yet a true relationship with almost no one.

Stories aren't conversations. Likes aren't love.

We used to be kept close by accident — same block parties, same diner, same Sunday church. Now staying close is a choice, and we keep failing to make it.

You'll like KeepUp if:
- You mean to reach out, but life gets in the way.
- You love someone at a distance you didn't choose.
- You moved away from your family and the calls keep getting rarer.
- Your friend group used to be a group. Now it's a group chat.
- You want to be a better friend, child, sibling, or partner.

Pick someone today and put them back in your week. We'll handle the calendar. You handle the catching up.

If this sounds like you, well… just download it already:)

Want the feature rundown? Here:
- POSTCARDS: A little life update for the people who'd actually want it. Write one card; everyone gets their own copy.
- CATCH-UP: Pick someone, choose a rhythm — weekly, monthly, every six months. We invite them, and once they accept, the next catch-up lands on both calendars.
- REAL CALENDAR EVENTS: Not just notifications you'll swipe away. Both parties see the catch-up. Both plan around it. Both show up.
- SMART SCHEDULING: You tell us your weekly rhythm and we plan around it. We don't ping you at 7am Sunday if you're not an early bird.
- CADENCES THAT FIT LIFE: Weekly with your closest friend. Monthly with mom. Quarterly with the college crew. Change it anytime.
- GROUP CATCH-UPS: One cadence for the family group call, your high-school crew, dad's side, your work friends.
- PRIVATE BY DEFAULT: We don't sell your data. Period.

NEW FEATURE: POSTCARDS — stop posting, send a postcard. One little life update, delivered to your people on your rhythm — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Choose who sees what, section by section. Everyone gets their own copy, and nobody sees who else got one. Once it's send, no changing - just like a real postcard!

NEW FEATURE: IN APP CALLING — the catch-up happens right in the app! Call or video-chat the people you keep up with inside KeepUp, end-to-end encrypted. When it needs a spark, tap a conversation starter or play a quick game together — Would You Rather, the Guessing Game, and more. Group calls bring the whole crew into one room.

Go call someone today!
