Both apps organize health records for families. KeepMD keeps everything on your phone. Family Stork builds a lifelong timeline from your child's first heartbeat — records flowing in from clinics, paper snapshots, and questions you ask along the way. Here's how they differ.
KeepMD is a private health records organizer. You scan or import documents, and it stores them locally on your device. It's designed for people who want their records offline, in their pocket, with no cloud involvement. OCR extracts data from paper; lab trends chart over time.
Family Stork is a lifelong family health timeline. Records arrive automatically through a dedicated inbox email — clinics send visit summaries, and they file themselves. Snap paper records and AI does the data entry. Then ask the record questions: "When was her last flu shot?" "What did the allergist say in March?" The timeline answers.
On-device storage. Records stay on your phone. No KeepMD cloud to breach.
OCR scanning. Photograph paper records; text gets extracted and searchable.
Lab trend charts. Track values over time and flag out-of-range results.
Family profiles. Separate profiles for kids, parents, and aging relatives (Plus plan).
Standard export. Download your records in portable formats anytime.
Free starter tier. Core features for one person at no cost.
Records-inbox email. Give the address to any clinic. Visit summaries arrive and file themselves on the timeline.
AI data entry. Snap paper records — the AI reads dates, values, and details so you don't type anything.
Ask the record questions. "What vaccine is due next?" "What did the dermatologist say?" Answers grounded in your child's actual records.
One timeline from birth. Checkups, growth, vaccines, allergies, milestones — chronological, every provider, every year.
Emergency card. One tap — shareable, printable, revocable.
Ownership at 18. The record transfers to your child when they're ready. Their history, their hands.
The first year of a child's life produces a remarkable stack of records — well-baby visits every few months, vaccines, growth measurements, maybe a specialist referral or two. By school age, add allergy tests, sports physicals, immunization forms, dental records.
KeepMD gives you a place to store all of that — you scan it in, it stays on your phone, organized and searchable. That's valuable.
Family Stork tries to remove the scanning step for most records. The records-inbox email means visit summaries arrive automatically. When you do need to capture paper — the vaccine card from the kitchen drawer, the allergy action plan from the school nurse — the AI handles the data entry. And then you can ask questions across the whole history, not just browse files.
KeepMD's core promise is local-only storage. There's no cloud database of your medical files. If you want your records to exist nowhere but your device, this model delivers that.
Family Stork holds your family's data so it can work across devices, answer questions, and receive records from clinics. That data isn't sold, isn't shared with advertisers, and isn't used to train AI models. Your child's health story is yours.
Local-only means no syncing across devices, no automatic record intake, and no AI-powered questions. Cloud-based means trusting your provider with the data. Both are valid choices — it depends on what matters more to your family.
KeepMD is a private vault — records on your phone, no cloud, full export, you do the organizing. Family Stork is a living timeline — records arrive from clinics, AI handles the filing, and you ask questions when you need answers. Both solve the same core problem: your family's health records are scattered across too many places.
If offline-first privacy is your top priority and you're comfortable scanning everything yourself, KeepMD is a thoughtful choice. If you want the record to build itself — especially across the years of well-child visits, specialist referrals, and school forms — Family Stork is designed for that chapter of life.
