Hold what matters.
Pass it on.
A way to preserve the knowledge, instructions, memories, documents, and organization for the people who may one day need them.
Papa John spent a lifetime building, fixing, and teaching. When Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's disease took away his ability to share that knowledge, we realized how easily important family knowledge can be lost.
The Next Keeper helps families preserve that knowledge before it's gone.
Why Families Use The Next Keeper
Most families don't lose their belongings.
They lose the knowledge that goes with them.
- Where things are
- How they work
- How to maintain them
- Why they matter
The Next Keeper helps you save that knowledge for the people who may need it one day.

Meet Your Family Assistant
Your Family Assistant uses the information you've saved to answer questions and help you find what you need.
Ask it a question, or ask it to help plan a project.
Ask things like:
- “Where are the Christmas decorations?”
- “What air filter does the furnace use?”
- “What oil does the mower take?”
- “Where is the warranty folder?”
- “What do I need for this project?”
Planning a project? Simply tell your Family Assistant what you want to do.
Examples:
- • Build a workbench
- • Paint a room
- • Install a ceiling fan
- • Replace a faucet
- • Build a farmhouse table
Your Family Assistant can:
- • Show what you already have
- • Identify what you're missing
- • Create a shopping list
- • Provide step-by-step instructions
- • Help you complete the project with confidence
The more you save, the more helpful it becomes.
Share With Family
Invite trusted family members by email to help manage your information.
You decide what they can do:
- • View your information
- • Help add and organize information
- • Help keep records up to date
You can even designate a trusted family member to take over account payments in the future, helping ensure your family's knowledge stays preserved and accessible for generations.
Everything In One Place
- Documents
- Home maintenance and reminders
- Vehicles
- Tools and equipment
- Family heirlooms
- Instructions

So the right information is always easy to find.

One day someone else may need to manage your home, your workshop, your vehicles, your records, and the things you've spent a lifetime building.
The Next Keeper helps make sure they have the answers.
