A walk every day?

In bed on time, for once?

Ten quiet minutes every morning?

You already know what's good for you. Kept helps you do it.

A pendant that buzzes softly to remind you of what you promised yourself.

Free to sign up, no strings attached. Sign up now and you can reserve yours at 30% off later.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You keep your word to everyone. Except yourself.

Everyone and everything comes first. The thing you wanted to do for yourself? ‘I’ll get to it.’

HOW KEPT HELPS

Turn your intention into a reality.

An intention has no time. An appointment does. Kept remembers it for you and gives you a tap when it's time.

Research agrees: people who decide in advance when they’ll do something actually do it more often. That’s what 94 studies show (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006).

01

Choose a goal

Make an appointment with yourself. For example: a walk three times a week. You choose the days and the times.

02

Feel the nudge

At the moment you choose, you feel a soft buzz reminding you of the goal you set yourself. Only you feel it.

03

Reach your goal

Well done! Give the pendant a little squeeze when you've kept the appointment with yourself.

04

Repeat

That's how it becomes a habit. Missed a day? You simply pick it up again.

The app

No score. No streak. No judgment.

You set up your promise once in the app, and after that there's nothing more to do in it. The app doesn't judge and compares you with no one: no streaks, scores or percentages. Didn't happen today? Tomorrow is a new day.

  • One promise at a timeYour habit.
  • PrivateWhat you promise yourself stays on your phone. We can't see it either.
  • KindA look back at your week, without scores or judgement.

Why not just your phone?

Your phone is where promises to yourself get lost.

Your reminder sinks between all the other notifications. And once you pick up your phone, you often stay a while.

Your phone is where promises to yourself get lost.

Your reminder sinks between all the other notifications. Pick up your phone and you often stay a while. And you swipe notifications away on autopilot; a buzz on your body, not so much.

Who we are

Made in Delft.

Kept began as a graduation project at Delft University of Technology. We designed the pendant together with women who needed time for themselves.
