Kept: Your Focus Buddy
Block apps, build focus habits
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Level up your focus! Kept is the ultimate gamified productivity timer. Block apps, stay consistent, and unlock legendary rewards for your virtual companion.
Stop the endless scroll and start building momentum.
Meet Kept, the coziest focus timer and app blocker designed for neurodivergent brains, cozy gamers, and anyone who wants to feel proud of what they accomplish each day.
Say goodbye to punishing, stressful productivity apps. With Kept, your focus is tied to Ax, a sleepy little axolotl who needs your help to thrive. When you put your phone down and tackle your tasks, Ax levels up. If you lose your streak... well, his room might get a little dusty.
Whether you are studying for finals, crushing your work goals, or just trying to finish your daily side-quests, Kept makes focusing feel genuinely rewarding.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE KEPT:
ZERO-WILLPOWER APP BLOCKING
Finding it hard to start? Kept uses powerful, system-level app blocking to strictly lock your distracting apps while your timer runs. You literally cannot open them, making it incredibly easy to stay on track and get your work done.
EARN REWARDING MYSTERY BOXES
Every minute you spend focusing earns you XP. Trade your hard-earned XP for Mystery Boxes to unlock adorable cosmetics for Ax. Will you pull a Common Dino Onesie, or beat the odds for the Legendary Stardust Realm? It turns hard work into a fun, relaxing collection game.
COZY GAMIFICATION
Keep your streak alive to keep Ax's room sparkling clean. Watch the room change from day to night as you build a bulletproof routine and hit your daily goals.
AX ON YOUR DYNAMIC ISLAND
Ax stays with you even when your phone is locked. Check your Live Activities to see him cheering you on while your timer ticks down, keeping you anchored to your task without needing to unlock your screen.
VISUAL SCRAPBOOKING
Snap a quick photo and log how you felt after a deep work session. Over time, you will build a beautiful visual journal proving exactly how much you have achieved.
KEPT PRO (OPTIONAL)
Kept is free to download and use! But if you want to supercharge your journey, Kept Pro gives you a permanent Double XP Boost on every single focus session, plus instant access to exclusive Legendary realms and skins.
Ready to defeat the procrastination boss? Download Kept, hatch your egg, and let's get things done together!

Focus is Better Together!
We’ve been working hard to bring you the biggest update to Kept yet. Building a habit is tough, but it's a lot easier when you have your squad keeping you accountable. Here is everything new:
Friends & Accountability: You can now add your friends on Kept! Build your network, check in on each other's progress, and see who is actually maintaining their daily streaks.
Study Together Rooms: Want to lock in as a group? You can now create or join shared focus rooms! Launch a synchronized timer with your friends and see exactly who keeps their promise to stay off their phone, and who caves to distraction.
Cloud Sync & Accounts: To make all this multiplayer magic happen, you can now create a secure Kept account! Your hard-earned streaks, XP, and journal memories are safely backed up to the cloud so you never lose your progress.
Under-the-Hood Polish: We squashed some bugs and optimized the app to run smoother and faster than ever.
Keep your promises, protect your streak, and let's get to work—together.
