Kept Turns Impulse Shopping Into a Waiting Game
Kept is an Android app that lets shoppers browse real products, build a virtual cart, and complete a $0 checkout before deciding whether to buy.
Field notes
The app recreates an online-shopping flow with a virtual weekly budget, search, favorites, and a cart, then replaces payment and delivery with a $0 checkout and a stated five-day cooling period. Its feedback system tracks potential money kept, conscious passes, calm-day streaks, and weekly patterns rather than completed purchases. The homepage also says the core experience is guest-first and does not require bank access, card details, or mandatory registration, while the available product link points to Android APK version 1.0.2.
