Keeper is a little program for the GBA that allows you to keep notes. You can use it to record phone numbers, email addresses, appointments, etc.

It is designed to use as little space as possible, so you have plenty of room for other games or applications. You can use it with pogoshell so that it will use the smallest possible space in SRAM.

The homebrew was presented in the GBAX 2003 Coding Competition.
