How it works

Specifications

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?

On busy days, time for yourself is the first thing to go.

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 without a set moment gets lost in the rush of the day. Kept remembers your promise for you and reminds you when it's time.

The app

An app that doesn't judge

In the rush of the day, a promise is easily missed. The app is there to support you in building your habits, not to score you.

Easy to use

Private

What you promise yourself is yours and no one else's.

Kind

No scores, streaks or percentages

Why not just your phone?

Your phone is where promises to yourself get lost.

A reminder to yourself gets completely lost in the flood of other notifications; it's just one more beep.

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.
