Stay focusedwhile AI thinks.
Keel fills the gap between your prompt and the answer with something intentional. Micro-games, brain questions, or quiet focus. No drift.

The problem
Tiny waits become big distractions.
You send a prompt. It starts generating. Three seconds later you are in a different tab. Then email. Then Instagram. Ten minutes are gone.
Waiting starts
Attention drifts
The thread breaks
Waiting starts
Your prompt is sent. The answer is on its way. You have 10 to 30 seconds.
Attention drifts
One tab. Then another. Then your phone. Focus slips faster than you think.
The thread breaks
You return distracted. The context you had is gone. You have to rebuild it.
How Keel works
Keel steps inbefore you drift.
The moment generation starts, Keel appears. Something focused to do right there. Back when the answer is ready.

Stay sharp with micro-games

Why Keel
Not an app.A moment of focus.
Only during waiting moments
Keel appears when a response is generating. It closes the instant the answer arrives. That is its entire scope.
No endless scrolling
Every game ends when the wait ends. Nothing here is designed to keep you playing longer than the gap lasts.
No feeds, no rabbit holes
No notifications. No content. No recommendations. A focused pause with one purpose.
Designed for flow
You opened a chat to think and build. Keel respects that. It keeps your attention on the work, not somewhere else.
“Before you drift.”
