Made for a sensitive moment
Technology should recede.
The person should remain.
PastKeep turns scattered public posts, photographs, and videos into one portable place for remembrance.
From public profile
to lasting archive.
Designed for funeral-homes. Simple enough to use without technical training.
- 01
Create the case
Add the person’s name, dates, and your funeral home’s white-label identity.
- 02
Capture public memories
Add accessible Instagram and Facebook profiles, or connect X locally for timeline access. PastKeep saves available media locally.
- 03
Review live progress
See files arrive as the capture runs, with clear status, cancellation, and safe retry controls.
- 04
Deliver with confidence
Create the family memorial and a separate technical companion, then export with checksum verification.
A calm workspace
for careful work.
The desktop app keeps the essentials clear: create the case, confirm local storage, and move through each archive without clutter.
Private by architecture
Family media stays
under your control.
PastKeep is a local-first desktop application. Captured photographs, videos, metadata, and generated memorials remain on the funeral home’s computer and chosen storage.

Delivered memorials open in a modern browser without an account, server, or internet connection.
Verified delivery
External-drive exports are independently checksummed after copying.

About Shidin
Small software,
made with purpose.
We’re two developers who enjoy turning thoughtful ideas into useful, focused software.
PastKeep began with a simple question: how can we preserve a person’s public digital memories without turning remembrance into another cloud service? We built a local-first tool that keeps the funeral home in control and gives families something calm, private, and lasting.
