Keeplea and SnapFind
SnapFind labels the box. Keeplea captures the thing. Same price, so the choice comes down to which problem you actually have.
These two look like alternatives and mostly aren’t. Both help you find your things; they start from opposite ends.
One thing to clear out of the way first: the prices are identical. $2.99 a week, $9.99 a month, $59.99 a year, on both. Price is not the tiebreaker here, so pick on shape.
Containers, or the thing itself
SnapFind is built around containers. You put a QR sticker on a box, scan it, and record what’s inside. Later you scan the sticker, or search, and the box tells you its contents. For a garage, a loft, a storage unit or a move, that model is exactly right — you know the thing is in a box, you just don’t know which one.
Keeplea is built around the object in front of you. No sticker, no container, no step before capture. Photograph the paint tin, the appliance plate, the wifi card, the wine label, and it reads what’s written on it.
| SnapFind | Keeplea | |
|---|---|---|
| The unit | A labelled container | A single thing |
| Before you capture | Print and stick a QR label | Nothing |
| Built for | Boxed and stored belongings | Things you meet once and won’t see again |
| Away from home | Boxes you’ve already labelled | Anywhere — a shop, a hotel, someone’s kitchen |
| What comes back | What you listed in the box | The details read off the object |
| Getting it back | Scan the label, or search | Ask in ordinary words |
| Price | $2.99 / $9.99 / $59.99 | $2.99 / $9.99 / $59.99 |
So which problem do you have
“I know it’s in one of these boxes.” That’s the container problem, and SnapFind is built for it. A label you can read beats anything clever, and no amount of AI improves on a sticker.
“I photographed it, and now I can’t find the photo.” That’s this one. There was never a box. The paint tin went in the skip, the router was in a hallway you left four hours ago, the wine was on a table in a restaurant. Nothing to label, nothing to come back to, and the only record you made was a photograph that’s now somewhere in nine thousand others.
Plenty of homes have both problems. They’re just not the same problem, and the second one is the one that has no box to put a sticker on.
What Keeplea does with what you captured
The difference shows up most in what you get back. A labelled box returns the list you typed. Keeplea returns what was printed on the thing — the model, the serial, the colour code, the network name — read off the photograph, kept as text you can search and copy.
That’s the case for photographing objects rather than cataloguing containers: you don’t decide in advance what mattered about a thing. You point the camera and it keeps what’s there.
Start with the next label you’d otherwise never look at again.
