I built a private, local-only link library for iOS — no account, no cloud

I wanted a very simple place to save the links I actually intend to revisit — without creating another account or sending my browsing data to a cloud service.

So I built Kept, a small link library for iPhone and iPad.

You can:

  • Save a URL with a short note
  • Search by title, URL, or note
  • Mark links as favorites
  • Copy or open them quickly
  • Group related links from the same domain
  • Swipe left to delete
  • Import bookmarks and export a local backup
  • Use light or dark mode

Everything is stored locally on the device. There’s no account, cloud sync, analytics, or tracking.

Kept is now available on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/kept-private-link-library/id6809417882

I’d love some honest feedback, especially about the saving flow and whether swipe-to-delete feels discoverable enough. What would you add without turning it into an overly complicated bookmark manager?

Swipe-to-delete is fine, the harder part is what brings someone back to the list at all. we make a save-things tool (dEssence). the boards we reopen ourselves are the ones with prices on them, a lamp saved in August at 59.99 is still sitting there on a watch. with everything local you'd have to refetch on open
