New App Helps Users Track Gift Cards and Vouchers

Moti Shai, an infrastructure and automation expert from Rosh Ha'ayin, has developed Keepon, a free mobile application designed to help users manage gift cards, coupons, and other benefits. The app centralizes these items, alerts users before they expire, and allows for shared family wallets. Shai was motivated to create the app after struggling to keep track of his own gift cards and losing money on expired vouchers.

Keepon allows users to input their coupons and gift cards, displaying details such as the remaining balance and expiration date. Users can also photograph, copy, or share vouchers directly into the app, with Keepon automatically extracting the relevant information. The app provides notifications for expiring vouchers and allows users to update balances after partial use. Additional features include price comparisons, searching for coupons by store, and recommendations for the most beneficial offers.

The app also supports the storage of other benefits like influencer coupon codes and credits, with expiration alerts. A shared family wallet feature enables multiple family members to view and manage all stored benefits collectively. Users can also store product warranty certificates within the app.

Shai emphasized user privacy and data security, stating that coupons are stored locally and encrypted on the device without requiring an external account or cloud storage. For shared wallets or shared coupons, data is end-to-end encrypted for synchronization. The app has gained over 15,000 users in two months and has ranked highly in app store charts.

Future plans for Keepon include adding location-based benefit searches and a pilot program allowing small Israeli businesses to offer coupons for free. Shai specifically aims to support businesses owned by reservists by marking them within the app. The long-term vision is for Keepon to become a go-to resource for checking for benefits before any purchase.
