PlanKept Update

Why PlanKept Is Focusing on Achievement-Gated App Blocking

The first PlanKept update: why the site is positioning the app around unlocking distractions after real-world follow-through.

The narrow category is the point

PlanKept should not try to be remembered as one more app blocker. The sharper category is achievement-gated app blocking: distracting apps stay blocked until the promised real-world action happens. That story becomes easier to believe when people can actually try it in a real free version instead of hitting a subscription wall first.

What belongs in this updates space

This is the place to follow what PlanKept can do, what changed, and how the product handles real-life plans. Short posts can cover launch notes, changelog entries, privacy explanations, free-versus-paid product updates, and specific use cases like step-gated or workout-gated blocking.

  • Read the clearest version of product notes under the PlanKept site.
  • Use the posts to understand Proof Review, analytics, recurrence, app blocks, minute caps, pricing, privacy, AI-assisted setup, and launch readiness.
  • Expect outside posts to point back here when PlanKept is discussed elsewhere.

A good posting rhythm

Every couple of days is useful only if the posts add something real. A better default is two to four concise updates per month, plus launch notes or changelog posts when the product actually changes.
