Your Keepsake Page — Publish Notes Publicly

Your Keepsake Page is a simple, personal space at keepsake.place/@yourname where you can publish selected notes to the public. It's not a blog, not a social network — just a quiet corner of the web to share the thoughts, essays, or photos you feel are worth sharing. Everything else stays private. You decide, one note at a time. Want to see one in action? Have a look at Nicolas's Keepsake Page.

What is a Keepsake Page?

A Keepsake Page is a public profile built from the notes you choose to publish. Think of it as a minimalist personal site: a username, a short bio, a few links, and a feed of published notes. By default, nothing in your Keepsake account is public — your notes, tasks, and contacts stay entirely private. Only the notes you explicitly publish appear on your page.
1

A personal URL

Your page lives at keepsake.place/@yourname. Each published note also has its own shareable URL at keepsake.place/@yourname/slug.

2

Private by default

Nothing is published automatically. Every note stays private until you click the globe icon and confirm. Unpublishing is always one click away.

3

Part of your workflow

You don't write separate blog posts — you publish notes you already have. The same notes that live in your Inbox, in your Notes, or on a contact's page can become public in one click.

Tip

A Keepsake Page is ideal for people who want a quiet corner of the web without the pressure of running a blog or posting on social media. Publish when you have something to share — and only then.

Set up your username and page

Before you can publish, you need to claim a username. It becomes part of your public URL, so pick something you're happy with — changing it later will break links to your old page.
1

Open Settings

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar (on mobile, your avatar at the top right) and choose Settings. Then open Keepsake Page → Public profile.

2

Choose a username

Type a username in the Page address field. Allowed characters: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Length: 3 to 30 characters. Availability is checked in real time as you type.

3

It saves on its own

There is no Save button: the address is saved as soon as you leave the field (a “✓ Saved” appears next to it). From then on, your page is live at keepsake.place/@yourname, even if you haven't published any note yet. Visitors will see a simple profile with your name and bio.

Tip

Choose a username you'll still be happy with in a few years. It's the foundation of every public URL you'll ever share from Keepsake.

Customize the appearance of your page

Your page is your identity. From Settings → Keepsake Page → Page appearance you can shape how it looks: pick a theme, an accent color, and a few typography options. Each choice is saved as soon as you make it, server-side, and applied on the first paint — visitors always see the style you picked, never a flash of the default look.
1

Pick a theme

Three themes to choose from. Ivory is warm and light (the default). Paper is a cool neutral with a slightly different ink. Night is a warm dark — a deep blue-brown, not a pure inversion — designed to stay legible and calm. Mini previews show how each looks before you commit.

2

Pick an accent color

Four accents: Terre de Sienne (the default, a muted red-brown), Prussian Blue, Sage Green, or Ink (near-ink, a very quiet accent). The accent colors the opening mark of your quotes, hover states on links, the heart in the footer, and text selection.

3

Drop cap on or off

The drop cap is the large decorative first letter at the beginning of your written notes. On by default. Turn it off if your notes read more like technical captures than long prose.

4

Page language

Pick French or English for the page. This controls the labels your visitors see: dates ("13 APRIL 2026" vs. "13 AVRIL 2026"), kind labels ("WRITING / QUOTE / PHOTOGRAPH" vs. "ÉCRIT / CITATION / PHOTOGRAPHIE"), and the colophon. Independent from your app language.

5

Contact email (optional)

In Settings → Keepsake Page → Public profile, add an email address if you'd like a Contact button to appear in your page header. Visitors who click it will be taken to their email client with your address pre-filled. Leave the field empty to hide the button entirely — it's opt-in, nothing is ever exposed unless you fill this in.

Tip

Try the Night + Sage Green combo for something calm and editorial at night, or Paper + Prussian Blue for a more classical, magazine feel. You can change your theme and accent whenever you want. See a live example →

Publish a note

Every note in your Notes has a globe icon. Click it, confirm, and the note is published to your Keepsake Page. That's the whole flow.
1

Find the globe icon

The globe icon sits among the actions of each note card in your Notes (revealed on hover on desktop) and at the top of the note page. In the Inbox, open a QuickNote's “…” menu and choose Publication.

2

Click to publish

A confirmation modal appears: “Publish this note? It will appear on your Keepsake Page.” This is your last chance to cancel — nothing goes live until you confirm.

3

Where the note goes

Publishing from your Notes is a pure toggle — the note doesn't move, the globe icon simply lights up. Publishing a QuickNote from the Inbox also finishes sorting it: it joins your Notes. Unpublishing is just as simple: click the globe again, right where the note lives.

4

A public URL is generated

Each published note gets its own URL: keepsake.place/@yourname/slug. The slug is generated from the first words of your note. Share this link anywhere — it's a permanent page for that single note.

Tip

Once a note is published, the globe icon stays lit on the note card — a visible reminder that this content is public. Glance at your notes and you always know what's visible to the world.

Edit or unpublish a note

Published notes are still yours. You can keep editing them, and you can take them offline whenever you want.
1

Edit after publishing

Open the note and edit it like any other note. Changes propagate to your public page within about 10 seconds (a short cache). Photos, pages, Markdown formatting — everything updates.

2

Unpublish in one click — from anywhere

Click the globe icon again on a published note. You have three ways to reach it: (1) on the note card itself (in Notes, on a page, or wherever it lives); (2) at the top of the note page (globe icon in the header); (3) from your public page, click the pencil icon above a published note — it takes you back to the note in the app, where the globe is ready to toggle. A confirmation modal appears; confirm, and the note is removed from your public page. The note itself stays in your Keepsake account, private again.

3

Re-publish later

Changed your mind? Click the globe icon once more to republish. You'll get a new URL — the old one doesn't come back.

Tip

If you want to make a small correction without waiting for the cache, just refresh the public page a few seconds later. For most visitors, changes appear almost immediately.

Share a single note

Every published note has a permanent URL you can copy and share — in an email, a tweet, a DM, a slide. Visitors don't need a Keepsake account to read it.
1

Copy the public URL

On a published note, click the Share arrow next to the globe and copy the Public link, or open the note on your public page and copy the URL from the browser. The format is always keepsake.place/@yourname/slug.

2

Share anywhere

Paste the link in any tool. The page loads fast, is clean and readable, and works on any device. No login required for your readers.

Tip

A Keepsake Page note is an excellent replacement for a Notion public page or a quick Medium post — lighter, faster, and yours.

Find all your published notes

Need to review what's currently public? The Notes view has a dedicated filter for it.
1

Open Notes

From the sidebar on desktop, click Notes. On mobile, tap More in the bottom tabs, then Notes. You'll see all the notes you've kept.

2

Filter on 'Published'

In the publishing flow bar at the top of the page, click Published. The list narrows down to your published notes: those visible on your Keepsake Page, plus any you marked as published yourself. See The publishing flow.

3

Review, edit, or unpublish

From there you can open any public note, edit it, or unpublish it. It's a good weekly ritual — scan what's public, tidy up what's no longer relevant.

Tip

Quick access to your page: click your name at the bottom of the sidebar (on mobile, your avatar at the top right) and choose View my Keepsake Page. It opens in a new tab.

Collect email subscribers

Your Keepsake Page can also collect email subscribers. A small subscribe form sits right under your bio — when readers enter their email, they receive your future posts as a quiet weekly (or daily) letter. You own the list, you can export it anytime. Full guide: Build your audience.
1

Zero setup, on by default

The subscribe form is already on your page — no configuration needed. Cadence defaults to weekly. Change it in Settings → Keepsake Page → Letter and subscribers.

2

You choose the cadence

Weekly (Monday morning), daily (when you publish), or off. No publication on the period = no email sent. Switch anytime — your subscribers don't see your settings.

3

Replies go to your contact email

When subscribers reply to your letter, the response lands in the Contact email you configured for your page (Settings → Keepsake Page → Public profile). Set one up to actually have conversations.

Tip

A small list of engaged subscribers is worth more than a big list of half-interested ones. Read the full guide →

Tips and good practices

A Keepsake Page is small by design. A few habits will help you get the most out of it.
1

Publish what you stand behind

QuickNotes are for raw capture. Published notes are for finished thoughts — or at least thoughts you're comfortable sharing. Take a minute to reread before clicking the globe.

2

Good candidates to publish

Short essays, photo posts (see Adding photos to notes), book recommendations, quotes you love, rules you live by, project updates. Anything you'd send to a friend in an email, you can probably publish.

3

Keep your username stable

Changing your username later breaks every shared URL. If you’re tempted to rename, think twice — especially if you've already shared links elsewhere.

4

Your readers don't need an account

Anyone on the web can read your page. No sign-up, no paywall, no tracking of who visits. Just a quiet, readable page.

Tip

Treat your Keepsake Page like a garden, not a feed. Publish slowly, edit freely, weed out what no longer fits. There's no pressure to post regularly — a page with five great notes is better than one with fifty forgettable ones.
