If you're a person who have account in many websites, social media platforms, productivity or finance apps, this website if for you. I developed Profile Keeper because I’m in this situation, I have a profile in many platforms and find difficult to manage them, because I forgot that I created account in such site, maybe forgot the name of the site, or missed the URL for accessing the platform and in many cases I need a platform which bring me the opportunity to perform certain actions, earlier I needed it, found a good platform, got my job made, close the tab, and leave by several weeks until I need it again, but now I don't remember either the name of the site nor the address, I keep my google search activity history off, so I cannot check it to find this site again or find the words I used to make the search.
I searched Google for a website that allow me to manage all my profiles in one single place for free, allow me to create a portable version of my page for sharing with networks or in business presentations, but fail, I didn’t found it, if you're a person who is very active on the web and manage profile in different accounts, probably you're in the same situation. That’s the reason by which I developed Profile Keeper.
