Keel watches your screen the way a focused friend would. The moment you drift toward something you swore off, it quietly closes the tab, or quits the app entirely. No rule lists, no loopholes, just the boundaries you actually meant.
For people who've tried Cold Turkey, Freedom, and sheer willpower, and want something that finally adapts.
Tell Keel what you're working toward and what tends to pull you away, in plain sentences rather than rule syntax.
Keel watches your screen quietly in the background. No timers to start, no lists to babysit, no friction.
The moment you wander toward something you swore off, Keel steps in. You choose how it lands: a gentle nudge you can wave off, or a firm, tamper-proof stop.
No allow-lists. No regex. You describe your goal and your weak spots like you'd tell a friend, and Keel translates that intent into precise, living boundaries.
"Allow YouTube for research, kill Shorts the instant they open." It understands the nuance you actually meant.
Every slip Keel catches is a slip that didn't become an hour. See your streak grow, your protected time stack up, and exactly which temptations keep knocking.
Not to shame you, but to show you the day you actually wanted.
Keel only works because it pays attention. So we built it to earn that, with encryption and hard limits on what it is ever allowed to do.
Everything Keel reads is encrypted before it leaves your Mac, and used only to check it against the goals you set.
Your screen is read for a single purpose: deciding whether it crosses a boundary you set. Nothing it sees trains a model or builds a profile.
You set every boundary, see exactly what Keel acts on, and can wipe its memory whenever you want.
