Your Balance sets the weather

Build a day. Watch the sky change.

This is the formula Keel uses. Drag the sliders or pick a day, and see the sea and the score respond.

Forecast

Know before you go over.

Keel forecasts where today is heading while there’s still time to change course. Set a daily budget for total time and for scrolling, and get a gentle heads-up before you pass it.

  • Point by point. Every change to your Balance has a reason you can act on.
  • No shame. No streak flames and no red warnings about what you’ve lost.

Logbook

Watch your week get calmer.

A logbook of every day, with its weather, screen time and Balance, under a barometer that rises as your habits settle.

  • A run of steady days. Days within your budgets build it, with one rest day a week allowed.
  • A Monday review. Your week, read back to you.

Anchor

Drop anchor. Feeds go quiet.

Choose how firm you want it. Set a block for now, or for set hours each day, like work hours or after 11pm.

Four kinds of time

Not all screen time is the same.

Every app counts as one of four kinds. If Keel guesses an app wrong, move it, or sort whole App Store categories at once. Time spent creating and learning counts in your favour.

Create & Learn

Making something or getting better at it.

Social & Chat

Time with the people you talk to.

Scroll

The feeds. This is what stirs the sea.

Utility

Maps, banking and everything else.

Respect

A mirror, not a scold.

Weather, not judgement

A rough day is a rough sea. Keel explains what moved the boat and leaves the rest to you.

Room for an off day

One rest day a week doesn’t break your run. A second one that week does.
