What KeepPad does
KeepPad is a notes app you talk to. You say a thought out loud, and KeepPad writes it down as text, keeps the recording and files the note in a group. It runs on Android, on iPhone and in the browser. There is no account, no sign in and no email: the notes sit on the phone and open as soon as the app does. A note can also be typed. Each note can be edited, moved to another group, played back or sent to another app, such as Obsidian, Notion or Todoist.
How Hey Keep works
On Android, KeepPad can listen for the phrase “Hey Keep” in the background, with the app closed and the screen off. The phone checks the sound for that phrase on its own and throws the rest away. Once it hears the phrase, KeepPad answers “Recording” and writes down what you say until you pause. Say “Stop” to end a note at once, or “Hey Keep, continue” to add more words to the newest note. A notification shows while it listens, and a tap on it turns Hey Keep off. The welcome screen and Settings switch it on. It pauses under battery saver, and “Only while charging” keeps the microphone off on battery.
The groups
Each note lands in one of the groups: To do, Shopping, Ideas, Work, People, Health, Money, Travel, Home, Thoughts or Notes. KeepPad picks the group from the words in the note, on the phone. A phone with Gemini Nano or Apple Intelligence asks its own model about the notes the words left unclear. Chips at the top of the home screen filter the list, and the note screen moves a note to another group.
Share a note by link
Tap Share on a note to send it as a link. The other person opens the link in the app or in any browser, with no account, and you both edit the same note live. Only a note you share leaves the phone. The recording stays on the phone that made it.
What stays on the phone
Notes, recordings and settings stay in a database on the phone. The app has no analytics and does not count what you do. Speech turns into text on the phone where Android or iOS has the offline speech packs. Ads in the Android app pay for the work, and the ad network gets no note, recording or sound. The privacy policy lists each service the app talks to.
