For homeowners, trades & builders
Everything behind your walls is about to disappear...
...(or it already has)
Building or renovating? Capture everything before the linings close it in. Already home? Gather what your house knows before it's lost for good.
Built by a registered NZ architect — because the story of how a home was made shouldn't disappear the day it's finished.

001 — Why it matters
Your home knows things you don't.
What's behind the walls. Which pipe is hot. What the paint colour in the hallway is. Who fitted the heat pump, and when its warranty runs out. Where the boundary pegs are. Every home is full of details that matter — and almost none of them are written down anywhere you can find.
Whether your home is being built right now or you've lived in it for years, the same thing is true: the information is scattered — across builders' phones, lost emails, a drawer of warranties, a folder of photos no one can find five years on. And the day you need it — a leak, a renovation, a sale — it's gone.
Kept gives your home a record of itself. Captured during a build, or added room by room in a home you already love — kept with the property, ready whenever you (or the next owner) need it.
002 — How It Works
Four steps. Zero friction.
Captured
On site, by the trades doing the work. Scan a QR code, add photos and video — no app needed.
Verified
Documented before it's closed up and out of sight.
Kept
With the property, through every owner. Never deleted.
Yours
A complete record that's yours — kept, and passed on with the property.
003 — Here's what your home's record looks like
A record that belongs to you.
Other apps keep photos in the builder's account — gone when the job ends. Kept keeps the record with your home: still there when the builder's moved on, when you sell, when the next owner opens up a wall. It's yours, kept for life.

004 — The living record
A record that grows with your home.
Kept isn't a one-time snapshot. Every change adds to it — the bathroom you redo in 2027, the solar panels in 2030, the deck you finally build, the appliance you replace and its new warranty. Years from now, it's not just how your home started — it's everything that's happened to it since.
And it doesn't reset when you hand over the keys. When you sell, the record goes with the house — so the next owner inherits the whole story, and keeps writing it too.
What's behind your walls.
Wiring, plumbing, framing, insulation — captured on site before the linings go on, pinned to your plan.
Every finish and fitting.
Paint colours, tiles, appliances, taps, handles — the details you'd otherwise have to remember, or guess.
Who built it, kept for life.
Every trade who worked on your home, with their certificates and contact details — kept for every owner who follows.
