Thank you!
Fair question :) Well, first of all, only the photos you explicitly select go to the app. No permissions given for the whole gallery. So you can just avoid uploading dick pics to Keeplea :)

What you (and only you) decide to upload, then goes to Cloud Storage and Gemini. So the only provider your photos are shared with is Google.

But the honest part is that the data is not end-to-end encrypted. In transit and at rest, yes, but I run the project, so technically I can look. I don't and I have special machinery around my processes so that I never do this unintentionally, but that's still a promise. Do you think this would be a blocker for potential app users? What can I do if the on-device processing is not an option?

About costs. It's subscriptions, nothing else. Free tier stops at 20 captures, Pro is $9.99/month (for US, different for other countries). Processing itself is very cheap (a small fraction of a cent per photo).

Thanks!

Thanks! It uses Gemini, so it's definitely not on-device processing. I tried it, the quality is far away from what I needed. Thanks for your concerns! I'm already addressing some, but I agree, it's the most important part here.

Show HN: Keeplea – photograph everything you want to remember

At some point I noticed how many photos I take just to remember something, to come back to it later, when I need it. The packaging of a product I liked, a notice on the door of some government place, small paper documents, screenshots of something that felt important at the time. Well, even the wiring inside the walls during a renovation, photographed "for the future". All of it lands in the...

Thank you so much!

It's a very valid point! I always wanted to add pricing information to the website. However, I have two concerns here:

1. I'm experimenting with pricing a lot, especially in the very beginning. Having 3 places (App Store, Google Play, website) to update prices complicates things.

2. Prices are different for different countries and I'm not sure how to represent this on the website. On the App Store it's clear - you just see your country's pricing automatically, but how do I achieve this in a website? Well, technically, it's of course, possible, but it looks like a huge complication as well.

Do you have any suggestions?

Show HN: Spentrip – a trip-focused expense tracker

https://spentrip.app/

Hey HN,TL;DRI shipped a generic expense app (Receiptix) in July 2024. After seven months of effort it plateaued at $100 MRR, and I hardly used it myself. In February 2025, after a year of working on the project, I decided to reflect on what to do next and I also realised that I actually do use the app but only while traveling. So I niched down and rebuilt it as Spentrip. First week live: $100...

Hi!More than 20-year backend dev here, trying to dive into mobile development and LLMs :-)I’ve always wanted to explore practical use cases for LLMs and I came up with ReceiptiX. It's a simple expense tracking mobile app. I'm trying to design it to be different from other complex budgeting apps by focusing on simplicity. The main idea is to minimize manual input involved in expense...
