KindlyKeep Call screening, voicemail to text and scam protection
Short, plain, and honest about the limits. The same groups you will find in the app.
What KindlyKeep does
Answering service for the calls you miss
Your phone rings first. If you miss a call, KindlyKeep answers, takes a message, and texts you the real ones. It is an AI assistant, not a live receptionist. A business version is coming soon.
Call screening
Unknown callers are asked who they are and why they are calling. Your trusted list always rings through. Anything we are not sure about is kept for you to look at.
Spam call and robocall blocker
Scam calls, robocalls and sales pitches are screened out and never texted to you. Blocked calls are kept 7 days so a wrong block can be undone. KindlyKeep may make mistakes.
Voicemail to text
Real voicemails arrive in the app with a recording and the words written out. You can also get them as a short text. Transcripts can be wrong.
Call forwarding for landlines and flip phones
You keep your number. Turning on call forwarding with your phone company sends missed calls to KindlyKeep. It works with landlines and basic phones. Your phone company may charge for forwarding.
Protect parents from phone scams
Screening, a plain-words reason for every decision, and a check for suspicious texts and links. The Family plan covers up to 4 people, and you choose what is shared.
Document Vault
A private place for important papers and emergency information. KindlyKeep staff cannot read what is in it.
Business answering, after hours and missed calls
Coming soon Planned: missed calls become a text with name, number and reason, after-hours messages, and answers about your hours and location. See KindlyKeep Business.
Calls & Texts
Your phone rings first. KindlyKeep answers only the calls you miss, finds out who it is, and texts you the real ones.
Stop listening. Start reading.
Voicemail should not be a chore. With KindlyKeep a voicemail is a message you read in seconds.
The old way
- ✗ Dial in to your voicemail
- ✗ Enter your PIN
- ✗ Listen to long, rambling messages
- ✗ Delete them one by one
The KindlyKeep way
- ✓ A voicemail arrives as a text, with a subject, the date and the time
- ✓ Read it in seconds
- ✓ One tap to call back, remind you, add it to your calendar or reply
- ✓ Old ones clean themselves up
Inside the app, KindlyKeep shows how much time you have saved, worked out from your own real voicemails. It stays hidden until there is enough real data to be honest about it.
Just text KK Helper.
Save our number as KK Helper, then text it like a friend. No app, no password, and it works on a flip phone.
A short list of today's calls and voicemails.
The number is kept 7 days so UNBLOCK can undo it.
Paste a text or link and get a plain answer and what to do next.
We text you back right on time.
Only your contacts ring until you say so.
We show you the message first and send only after you reply with your code.
We only answer the phone number on your account. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop. Every voicemail also arrives as a short text summary and waits in your voicemail tab.
Scam Protection
We show our work
Every call we handle has a plain-words reason, like “reported as a robocall by 40 people” or “asked for gift cards”.
Careful about mistakes
A real caller wrongly blocked is worse than a junk call that gets through. So we only block when several different signs agree. If we are unsure, we take a message.
Doctors, schools and offices
Calls that sound like a doctor, pharmacy, school or government office are never blocked.
Trusted list and code word
People you trust always ring through. A private family code word helps check a caller is really family.
Blocking & Safety
One tap to block, one tap to undo
Block any caller from a call or message. A Blocked list shows who, why and when. Or text BLOCK and a number to KK Helper.
Safety block
For harassment or a stalker: a silent block with no ring and no voicemail, and the person is never told. Every try is kept in a private log you can export as a PDF for the police. Includes the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233.
Vault
Important papers, locked
Vault files and their names are encrypted before they are saved, and the Vault opens only with your PIN. You can name one trusted person for emergency access to just the documents you pick.
Family & Location
Scam alerts to family
You choose who is told, and you opt in first. An “Is this real?” check for anything suspicious.
Set up Mom’s phone
Help a parent get started from your own phone. They agree first, and nothing is sent without them.
Arrive and leave alerts
“Mom is at Church, 2:14 PM,” with a button that opens a satellite map. Only if the person says yes, with a one-tap pause, and no secret mode. It only knows where someone is when they tap, text or call; there is no tracking in the background, no trail, and we never sell location. Works from a flip phone by text.
Billing & Referrals
Plain billing
See your plan, change it, or cancel in the app. Monthly: cancel any time, no refunds for part of a month. Yearly: paid up front, non-refundable. See plans.
Share and save
When a friend joins and pays, you each get 1 free month. The app shows what you have saved so far.
Built like a security company
Your data stays yours
Recordings are deleted after 30 days unless you choose 7 or 90. Your family code word is kept only as a scrambled copy. We do not sell your information.
If we have a bad day
If our system is ever down, a simple backup recorder still takes the message. And a one-tap Pause button in the app turns the forwarding off.
Honest about limits
Texts from phone companies are not private end to end, so Private mode shows only who called. Translations are done by computer and can miss slang. Some prepaid phones cannot forward calls; we check before you pay.
Works with your home phone too
No smartphone needed. KindlyKeep works with home phones and basic flip phones. You tell your phone company to send calls you miss to your KindlyKeep number, and we show you the exact steps for your company and test that it works. A family member can help manage it. You can even sign up without an email address.
Some phone companies charge for call forwarding. Check with yours. For 911, always dial 911 on your phone. Already a member? Add a second home phone for $6.99 a month plus tax.
Coming soon
These are not available yet. We will only turn each one on after its safeguards are tested.
Teen seat (ages 13 to 17)

Voicemail to calendar and reminders
