Resolution
Fix the bike before Instagram unlocks.
Start with one clear line. It can be a boundary, a goal, or a reward loop.
Local-first goal enforcement
Say the resolution. Let it become real.
Write a goal or boundary in one clear sentence. PlanKept can turn it into reminders plus app blocks or timed limits on your iPhone, then clear the pressure when you actually finish the plan instead of tapping a soft override.
Device rule
PlanKept applies the pressure on your iPhone.
Instagram blockedYouTube 15mUnlock after proof
Use a full block when needed, or a lighter time cap when that is enough.
Proof review
Prove what you finished. If the proof passes, the plan clears.
Proof review can validate submitted photos, and for activity goals it can also use signals like Apple Health step counts after you allow them.

How it works
A simple flow from intention to follow-through.
PlanKept is not trying to become project management. It takes one plan seriously, applies pressure where it matters, and keeps that pressure in place until the plan is actually resolved.
01
Write the resolution
A plan can be as simple as "No Instagram before breakfast" or "Fix the bike before Instagram unlocks."
02
Choose the pressure
PlanKept can schedule reminders and use either a full block or a lighter minute cap for the apps you pick on your iPhone.
03
Do the real thing
The plan stays active while the action is still undone, so the goal has to move in real life instead of just living in notes.
04
Clear it with proof
You do not finish by tapping an "ignore for today" button. Active plans clear through proof review or accepted justification.
Not Just Blocking
PlanKept supports both pressure and reward.
Some plans need a hard boundary. Some feel better when the phone becomes the reward you earn back. The app is built to support both.
Boundary mode
Use blocks when the escape hatch is the problem.
If an app keeps dissolving the plan, PlanKept can make that app unavailable during the relevant window instead of relying on willpower.
- Full blocks when a target should be off-limits.
- Minute caps when a lighter rule is enough.
- Useful for boundaries like "No Instagram before breakfast."
Reward mode
Use the same controls as something you earn back.
The point is not just less screen time. The same setup can act like a reward loop, where the time comes back when the plan is actually done.
- Good for walks, chores, study blocks, or resets.
- Proof review can use Apple Health step counts for walking and step-based plans.
- The limit lifts when the plan clears, not when you get bored of the rule.

FAQ
The important questions are practical ones.
This page should make the product feel clear, not mysterious. Here are the parts that usually matter most.
Is this just an app blocker?
No. App control is one tool inside the flow. The point is follow-through: a written plan, pressure that matches the plan, and a proof-based way to clear it.
Can I just tap complete or ignore the limit for today?
Not in the normal flow. There is no casual bypass: the plan stays active until proof review passes or a real justification is accepted. If what you submit is clear and truthful, the review can be quick. If the proof is weak, the app does not let it through.
What stays local?
The core PlanKept flow is designed to stay on your device. That includes plan text, proof-review inputs, submitted photos, and AI conversations used inside the app. Device permissions and sources like Apple Health or Screen Time are also handled on device.
Can it use real signals from my life?
Yes, when the plan calls for it and you allow it. Proof review can inspect signals like Apple Health step counts or current Screen Time state, and it can validate submitted photos, to help decide whether the plan was actually completed.
Start Simple
A small app for plans that should stop being optional.
If the goal matters more than the burst of motivation that created it, PlanKept is meant to hold the line a little longer.
