Keel

The Household Portal

Groceries, the kitchen, shared money and today’s plan live in one place, and they talk to each other. Nobody has to be the one who remembers.

How Keel works

The modules are ordinary. The handoffs are the product.

Follow one carton of milk through a week. Every step below happens in Keel without anyone retyping anything.

  1. 01Kitchen

    The milk runs out. Nobody writes it down.

    In Keel you mark it out in the kitchen with one tap, the moment you notice. That is the only step anyone has to remember.

    Keel sends it to the grocery list

    Use things up or mark them out. Keel writes the list for you.

  2. 02Grocery List

    It’s already on the list, in the right aisle.

    Keel files each item where your store keeps it, so the list reads in the order you walk. Check it off in the aisle and it goes straight back to the kitchen.

    Checked off, it returns to the kitchen

  3. 03Split The Tab

    A shared dinner becomes a settled tab.

    Photograph the receipt, choose who was at the table, and Split The Tab works out who owes whom. Money screens sit behind a second sign-in step, and nothing about money is reachable by voice.

    Settled, it lands in Ins ’N Outs

  4. 04Today

    Today, at a glance.

    Routines, habits and small projects share one calm list. An unfinished day neither counts against you nor breaks anything; tomorrow starts level.

Also aboard

Capture it the moment it happens.

Built for the interrupted moment

One hand, thirty seconds, then back to life.

  1. 6:40 pm

    At the counter

    Hands full, pan on. Tap Out on the olive oil and get back to dinner.

  2. Sat 10:15

    In the aisle

    The list is already in aisle order. Every check-off restocks the kitchen.

  3. Fri 9:40 pm

    After dinner

    One photo of the receipt, and the tab is split before the dessert menu comes.

Steady by design

The part you never see keeps everything level.

A keel sits below the waterline. You never see it, and it is why the boat stays upright. That is the job Keel does for a household.

  • Never paywalled

    Every feature a household needs is free. Keel is non-commercial and runs on optional donations.

  • Personal by default

    Nothing you add is shared until you share it, on purpose.

  • Money behind a second lock

    Budget screens need a second sign-in step, and voice can never reach them.

  • Nothing lost

    If Keel can’t understand something you captured, it waits for you instead of guessing.

Questions

What is in the beta?

The native Keel apps for iPhone and Android. We’ll invite people in small groups as the apps are ready.

Can I use Keel today?

Yes. Keel works in any browser, and you can add it to your Home Screen. Your household comes with you when the apps arrive.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Core features are never paywalled. Keel is non-commercial and runs on optional donations.

Who can see my things?

Only you, until you share a list, a pantry or a tab with your household. Sharing is always a deliberate act.
