Kept is one screen where it asks you those questions. You answer by tapping. That is the whole thing.
You need an AI that can do jobs rather than only chat, which today means the typed-command tools developers use. See exactly what that takes.
The Saturday show moved to November. Refund, or keep the tickets?
Two tickets, bought in March. The new date is the week you are away, and resale closes on the 30th.
✓Take the refund
A working ask. Tap an answer.
The newer AI apps go and do the job, while you are somewhere else.
You ask for a reply to an email and it writes one. You still send it, file it and remember it. Close the window and nothing carries on.
You ask it to go through the week’s email. It reads it, drafts the replies, checks your calendar for clashes, and works while you are out. Then it stops, once, on the one thing that is yours to say.
You read it, you put it off, you read it again on Thursday.
“I have been through your inbox. On the show that moved, the new date falls in the week you are away, and you can resell at face value until the 30th, although the refund is guaranteed and a resale is not, and you did say this was the one you wanted to see, so it rather depends how much you mind losing the seats.”
Sixty four words. No question mark. Nothing to press.The one it would pick is already coloured in, so agreeing takes one tap and disagreeing takes one tap. Either way you are done in two seconds, and the reason it matters is sitting right under the question.
Next time your AI is working it reads your answer, finishes the job, and writes back what happened, on the same card you tapped. Nothing pings and nothing buzzes in the meantime: if you do not look today, it is all still there tomorrow.
The question, your answer and what happened, on one card. It remembered for both of you.
The ones that can today are typed-command tools, the kind developers use, such as Claude Code or Codex. Kept is ready the day one of those is part of how you work.
You make it yourself, which takes a couple of minutes. Kept then makes your board inside it, and the file stays in your account rather than ours.
Kept writes a short instruction for you to paste into your AI. That is what teaches it to ask you here. Kept never writes the questions: your own AI does, from your own machine.
No. You do need an AI that can go and do a job rather than only chat, which today means a typed-command tool. Claude Code and Codex are the common ones and come with a Claude or ChatGPT subscription you may already pay for, and any agent that can work with files in your account will do just as well. Kept writes the one line you paste in, so there is nothing to work out yourself.
Because that is where your board lives. Your board is an ordinary file in a private account you own, which is why your work stays with you, and why the day you move on you leave with everything intact. The account is free and takes a couple of minutes to make.
A few minutes, once ever. An account, one sign in, and one line pasted into your AI. After that the work is your AI's and the answers are yours.
Yes. The queue, the board and the calendar all work on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and your answers land in the same place whichever you use.
A list in a chat window lives inside that conversation. It lives and ends inside that conversation. Kept gives your AI two files in your own account instead: your board, holding the things that need you, and a record of the work behind it, holding what your AI is doing and what depends on what. Both sit in the same private account and your AI keeps both, so there is nothing there for you to manage. Every AI you use reads the same two files, so there is one account of where things stand rather than a different one in every conversation.
Because you are reading the record itself. When an AI reports back in a chat it writes you a description of what it did, and you have to take that description on trust. Here the record it keeps while it works is the thing you read. Every board comes with the same written instructions for the AI keeping it, and they are strict about accuracy: nothing gets closed without one honest sentence saying what actually happened, and what is waiting on you is worked out from what genuinely blocks what, rather than from the AI's sense of what matters. Those instructions shape what a good agent does; the file is what lets you check it. Because it is plain text in your own account, you can open it and read the whole record yourself at any time, and that is the real backstop.
No. Kept works with whichever AI you already have. What it needs is one that can go and do a job rather than only chat, and that can work with files in your account. Claude Code and Codex are the ones most people already have, so the walkthrough is written for those, but the instruction Kept hands you is plain English rather than a command built for one product. Any capable agent can follow it.
Partly, and it is worth knowing which half. You can give your browser AI a private link that lets it read your board and answer questions about it, which takes one paste into its settings. Reading is all it does, so the board will not fill up from there: filling it up is the typed-command kind's job. Add one of those when you want the board kept for you, and keep the link for asking about it from your phone.
Yes. The reading link works with whichever ones you use: it works in anything that lets you add a connector, and in several at the same time. There is one link to look after rather than several, which also means it is one switch: to cut off a single AI you replace the link and paste the new one wherever you still want it.
Yes, and that is the point. It files cards, updates them and closes them while you are somewhere else. The decisions that are yours stay yours: they wait on a card until you tap an answer.
Two words you say to your AI when you want it to check your board. It reads what is new, acts on it, and writes back what happened.
Your AI does the remembering. The instructions every board ships with tell it to check the board at the start and end of every working session without being asked, so your questions reach you while you are already sitting with it rather than waiting for you to think of them. The setup walkthrough also offers to have it check on a schedule. Saying Go Kept is for when you want it to look right now.
No. Nothing pings and nothing buzzes. Your questions wait on the board, so look tomorrow and they are all still there.
A part of your work is one area you keep separately from the others: the shop, the studio, the house. Free gives you one, with unlimited cards, notes and history inside it. Paid gives you as many as you want, and they all live on the same board, so however many you keep there is still one file and one place to look.
Soon. Free is open today and everything in it works, and the paid tier opens shortly: you will see the option here the moment it does.
No. There is no card, no clock and no expiry. It is the real product in one part of your work, and nothing switches to paid unless you choose it.
You keep every file, because they were never ours. Your board is exactly where it always was, and you owe nothing on the way out.
Only you. It is a private file in your own account, and Kept’s own access reaches that one board and nothing else of yours. The one thing to be careful with is the reading link for a browser AI: anyone holding that link can read that board, so it belongs in your AI’s settings and never in a message to someone else.
No. Your browser talks to your own account directly and the board never lands with us. The single exception is the reading link, where your board passes through us for a few seconds on its way to your AI and is never written down.
Nothing. Your board lives in your own account rather than inside Kept, alongside the record of the work behind it, and both stay there whatever happens to us. Both are written in plain text, so they open and read clearly in any text editor, and note apps that lay text files out as boards, such as Obsidian, open the board with your columns intact. There is nothing to download and nothing to rescue.
No. There are no analytics and no trackers on this site.
Write it however you like, in plain English. It goes straight to the person who built Kept, and you get a reply by email within 24 hours.
It is read by the person who built Kept, and answered within 24 hours. You can write to keptboard@gmail.com instead if you would rather use your own mail.
No GitHub account? Make one first, free, and you’ll land right back here. Kept sets up one private board for you and touches nothing else of yours.
Free for one part of your work, the shop or the studio or the house, and that stays free. When paying opens, it is four dollars a month billed yearly at forty eight. The board is a file in your own account, so the day you want to move on, you leave whole.
Kept keeps your board as an ordinary file in your own GitHub account. That is why we never hold anything of yours. The next couple of minutes are on GitHub, then you land back here with your board open.
1. An email, a password and a username.
2. A code to confirm your email, then one sign-in with the account you
just made. That second sign-in is normal.
3. GitHub calls a stored thing a repository, and it will ask whether Kept
may use all of yours or only some. Either answer works. It will also say Kept
wants read and write access, which is what making your board and saving your
answers needs. Kept makes exactly one private board and touches nothing else.
Kept never charges you for storing your work, because your work is not stored with us: your board is a file in a private GitHub account you own, and your browser talks to GitHub directly. The one exception is the browser connector, where your board passes through us for a few seconds to reach your AI and is never written down. One part of your work is free for everyone, always, and it is the real thing rather than a trial: unlimited cards, notes and history inside it. Nothing switches from free to paid without you choosing it.
