You know what you need to do.
You’re just not doing it.
Kept finds the smallest possible next step and makes damn sure you take it.
Sound familiar?
You’ve made the plan. You’ve written the list. You downloaded the app, set up the project, blocked out the time.
And then you just… didn’t do it.
The plan was never the problem. Every productivity app you’ve tried solves the wrong half of the issue. They help you organize, prioritize, break things into steps and more. But then they leave you alone during the part that actually matters: doing it.
Kept isn’t about the plan. It’s about making you follow through.
How it works
Say what you need to do
Goals, tasks, habits. Just say it however it comes to mind. Kept organizes the rest.
Get one tiny next step
Not “write the essay.” Just “open the doc and type the title.” Starting is the hard part. Kept makes it effortless.
Then we make you do it
Monetary stakes, intelligent app blocking, and a real human focus partner make sure you follow through.

Monetary stakes, intelligent app blocking, and a real human focus partner make sure you follow through.
You just talk to it.
“I have that essay due Friday, I need to get groceries, I’ve been meaning to start running again.”
Kept takes whatever you said, breaks it down, and puts each piece where it fits in your day. You don’t organize anything. You don’t schedule anything. You just talk.
Too small to fail.
You don’t need to “write the essay.”
You need to open the doc and type the title.
Your brain responds completely differently to a task you’re inside versus one you’re still avoiding. Once the loop is open, you want to close it. The hardest part was always starting, and Kept just made that part effortless.
And then it makes sure you actually do it.
Body doubling built in
Kept pairs you with a focus partner working on their own stuff at the same time. Like a gym buddy, but for anything.
Your apps are blocked
Your distractions are locked until you finish the step. If you want your apps back, you have to finish the step.
Real money on the line
You set a dollar amount you’re willing to lose. If you don’t finish the step, you lose it.
Your apps are blocked, your money is at risk, and someone is right there with you. At that point, doing the next step is genuinely easier than avoiding it.
You talk. Kept handles the rest.
You
“I need to file my taxes, start running again, and finish that essay by Friday.”
That’s it. You just say what’s on your mind.
Kept
- Breaks each thing into steps small enough to start
- Schedules them into your day based on how you actually live
- Notices you’ve been putting off the essay and suggests stakes to keep you honest
- Locks your distractions during deep work because you told it to
- Finds you a focus partner when it sees you could use one
It learns what works for you. You can always tell it what you want, or just let it figure it out.
This is what your day looks like in Kept.
If you’ve ever made a plan you believed in and then watched yourself not follow it, this is built for you.
