**Turn Your Conversations Into Lasting Memories**  
Keepster was built for people who wanted more than fleeting messages.

This desktop app let users back up their conversations from popular messaging platforms—then transform them into professionally printed keepsake books, perfect for gifting and preserving cherished moments.

## The Challenge  
With messages scattered across apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, Viber, and LINE, users lacked a single place to archive and reflect on meaningful conversations.

Screenshots and exports weren’t enough. There was a need for a smooth, private, and personal way to preserve digital memories beyond the screen.

## The Solution  
10 Grounds developed Keepster as a cross-platform desktop application using Electron and Angular, optimized for both Windows and macOS.

The app enabled users to incrementally back up their chats, select conversations, design personalized layouts, and order printed books with custom paper types and finishes—all powered by seamless third-party print-on-demand integration.
