How KeeperCircle works

KeeperCircle takes a few minutes to set up and works the way a household actually does. Here's the loop.

Three moves, start to finish

  1. Set up your household

    Create the household and invite the other adults. From that moment you're both looking at the same list.

  2. Give contacts context

    Add or import contacts, then tag the category, connect the child, and add the notes only your household can see.

  3. Keep it current together

    Search anything in a tap, and archive or retire what your household has outgrown so the list stays trustworthy.

  1. Create your household

    Your household is the home for everything, including contacts, lists, and notes. It often belongs to the household rather than to any one person's account, so the information outlives any one phone.

  2. Invite the other adults

    Invite your partner, spouse, or co-adult to join. From that moment you're both looking at the same contact list. Add a contact once and everyone has it. Paid households can also add view-only members, which is useful for a grandparent or regular caregiver who needs to find numbers but shouldn't edit them.

  3. Add contacts, or import them selectively

    Add contacts by hand in seconds, or import from Google Contacts or a contacts file. Import always starts with review. KeeperCircle shows you what it found, and you pick exactly which contacts join the household. Nothing is added without your say-so, so your household list starts out curated.

  4. Give contacts context

    This is where KeeperCircle stops looking like a plain address book. Assign categories (School, Emergency, Vendors & Services, Childcare & Babysitters, or your own), connect contacts to your children, mark people as emergency contacts, and add private household notes, like which classroom, what the electrician quoted, or which pharmacy the pediatrician sends prescriptions to. Notes are visible to your household only, and they stay behind when you share a contact.

  5. Build the lists your household needs

    Group contacts into lists such as the babysitter sheet, the school-year list, and the emergency list. Premade templates show you what a complete list looks like, so you notice what's missing before you need it. Paid households can print the emergency sheet as a clean physical page for the fridge or the sitter.

  6. Find anyone, fast

    Search by name, organization, number, category, child, or even something you wrote in a note. "Who was that piano teacher Dana's friend recommended?" is a search, not an archaeology project.

  7. Review and retire

    Households change. Sitters graduate, vendors retire, and sports teams switch. Archive contacts you might need again, delete the ones you won't (with a 30-day window to restore mistakes), and keep the list you actually use trustworthy and useful.

Free and paid, briefly

The free plan covers the essentials for a smaller household list and is supported by ads on non-sensitive pages. The paid household plan removes ads and lifts the limits, adding room for up to 100,000 contacts and 1,000 lists, more members, contact history, and the printable emergency sheet. Details are on the Pricing page.
