Made for a sensitive moment

Technology should recede.
The person should remain.

PastKeep turns scattered public posts, photographs, and videos into one calm, portable place for remembrance.

A considered workflow

From public profile
to lasting archive.

Designed for funeral-home teams. Simple enough to use without technical training, careful enough for the responsibility.

  1. 01

    Create the case

    Add the person’s name, dates, and your funeral home’s white-label identity.

  2. 02

    Capture public memories

    Add accessible Instagram, Facebook, or X profiles. PastKeep saves available media locally.

  3. 03

    Review live progress

    See files arrive as the capture runs, with clear status, cancellation, and safe retry controls.

  4. 04

    Deliver with confidence

    Create the family memorial and a separate technical companion, then export with checksum verification.

Inside PastKeep

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 technical 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.

Private pilot

Start with one case.
Help shape PastKeep.

PastKeep is currently trial-only while we work closely with a small number of funeral homes. There is no payment method or subscription commitment.

Pilot access

One complimentary case

Experience the complete workflow with one family archive. Selected pilot partners may receive additional case access directly from our team.

Request pilot access

Commercial plans and payment providers will be announced after the pilot. Archives already delivered to families remain locally readable.

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.
