Not emergency or crisis support
Do not use Kept for urgent safety, medical, legal, or crisis support. In the US, call or text 988 for crisis support, or call 911 for an emergency.
Try Kept is open. Tap the button, review what Messages opens, add START if your device omitted it, then hit Send. Kept creates the account only after START arrives from your phone.
SMS-first follow-through
Text one commitment and when. Kept proposes the time, then uses 1, DONE, LATER, or SKIP to move the same record forward. No dashboard, no open-ended chat.
Opens Messages with START drafted when your device supports it. You still review the text and tap Send.
The four replies
You do not need to learn a planner or keep another app open. The reply tells the same record what happens next.
Same words, same result
Kept uses fixed rules. A proposed commitment waits for 1. A nudge waits for DONE, LATER, or SKIP. The same reply makes the same state change each time.
Kept echoes the title and absolute time.
The commitment becomes active and the nudge is scheduled.
The commitment closes as done.
The commitment stays active with a new due time.
The commitment closes as skipped.
Clear boundaries
The useful part is a reliable text loop. The page should not make the service sound broader or more available than it is.

Opening Messages changes nothing. The active account is created only after Kept receives START from your phone.
Start by text
Try Kept opens your messaging app to (786) 919-7845 with START filled in when the device supports it. Review the draft, tap Send, and your text creates your active account.
Try KeptMessages should open with START drafted. Some devices fill only the number. If START is missing, type it and send it to (786) 919-7845. This page never sends the text for you.
