Frequently Asked Questions

How does KeepMe work?

KeepMe helps you stay accountable to your promises through a three-step process: 1) Create a promise with a deadline, 2) Invite up to 3 'Keepers' to hold you accountable, 3) After your deadline, you and your Keepers report whether you kept your promise.

How does the Kept/Failed voting system work?

After your deadline passes: 1) You report first by marking your promise as 'Kept' or 'Missed', 2) Your Keepers verify within 72 hours, 3) The community can vote to build confidence scores, 4) Final status is determined by majority consensus. This multi-layer verification ensures honest accountability.

What happens if I don't keep my promise?

There's no punishment for missing a promise - KeepMe is about building accountability habits, not penalties. Your promise will be marked as 'Failed' but you can always create new promises and learn from the experience.

How many Keepers can I invite?

You can invite up to 3 Keepers for each promise. Keepers are friends, family, or colleagues who will help keep you accountable by confirming whether you kept your promise after the deadline.

Can I change my promise after creating it?

Once a promise is created and shared, it cannot be edited to maintain accountability integrity. This ensures the accountability system remains transparent and trustworthy.

What if my Keepers don't respond?

If Keepers don't respond within 72 hours after your deadline, the system will finalize your promise status based on available reports. It's important to choose engaged Keepers who will actively participate.

Is KeepMe free to use?

Yes, KeepMe is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium features. Our goal is to help people achieve their goals through accountability.

How long can my promise be?

Promise text is limited to 140 characters to keep them focused and specific. This encourages clear, actionable commitments rather than vague goals.

What's the maximum deadline I can set?

You can set deadlines up to 90 days in the future. This timeframe helps maintain urgency while allowing for meaningful goal completion.

Can I make my promise private?

All promises on KeepMe are public by design - this transparency is core to the accountability system. However, your email and personal details remain private.

What if I want to delete my promise?

Once published, promises cannot be deleted to maintain transparency and accountability. This permanence is core to the accountability system's integrity.

How does community voting work?

Anyone can vote on whether they think a promise was kept or not, building confidence scores. This community input helps validate the accountability process, though Keeper reports carry more weight.
