Corekept

Keep your word to yourself

Every promise you keep to yourself builds trust in yourself. Corekept is a small app for one skill: saying you'll do something, then doing it.

Core beliefs

Corekept was built on strong beliefs. We'd like you to understand them.

Doubt belongs in the plan. Once you've promised, it has done its job. That's why a block locks when it starts.

Confidence comes from how often your word holds. So Trust moves on the share of each day's promises you keep, never on how big they were.

The first bad day costs little, and each one in a row costs double the last. Keep more than half of a day's promises and it stops, so the sooner you come back, the less you lose.

When something big falls apart, the size is rarely the real problem. It was never broken into parts you could keep today.

Being able to adapt is a big part of life. So no block runs longer than 14 days: you stop, see how it went, and decide again.

Meet your lion

Your Inner animal is a soul of blue flame. It represents your inner Trust.

It grows brighter as you keep your word,

and dims when you don't.

It sleeps on days you promise nothing, and while you're paused.

The lion at its first stage, small and young. The lion a little brighter. The lion glowing. The lion with a mane of flame. The lion blazing at its brightest.
Plan like a pessimist

Plan in blocks

Life has more than one front: eating, moving, learning, work, people. A block is the promises you make on one of them, kept for a run of days, 1 to 14 in a row. Run a few blocks at once, one per front. When one ends, stop and look again: life changes. Once it starts, it locks, even when the day gets hard.

A new block called Deep work, with two promises, committed for 7 days.

Execute like an optimist

A good day takes about a minute of your attention. The rest of it is yours.

Say it.

Choose what you'll do and for how many days. Starting today, each promise can be taken back for 30 minutes. Then it's locked.

Do it.

Mark each one kept, in the app or from the widget. Only you know if you kept it, so honesty is the whole system.

Own it.

Your day stays open until you start the next one. Then you mark what's left, and your lion shows how Trust moved.

Small on purpose

Everything here helps you keep today's promises. Nothing here wants more of your time.

A nudge, not a nag

A nudge at each end of your day, if you want one. No reminders at all while paused.

Choosing when your day starts and finishes, with a reminder for each.

Tap to keep

Each kept promise turns green. We've found that what matters most is the share you keep.

Extreme mode

Corekept becomes your home screen: today's promises, and only the apps you allow. No extra distractions from everything else out there. Part of the Unlock.
