A life plan you reopen, not a doc you forget
Most plans are written once and never read again. Keep The Process turns your vision into life domains, annual objectives, and reviews you actually run — with your daily effort tied back to it.
Free to start, no card. Your data stays yours.
“My days are full. I couldn't tell you what they're adding up to.”
Productivity tools count what you get done.
Keep The Process is a method — the Backbone Alignment Method — for checking that what you do still points where you said your life should go.
What day zero looks like
Not a life plan — a starting point. Three taps and a sentence, and it always ends inside one real log.
- 1
Your first move
Plant a seed backbone: pick one life domain, tap one value that holds there, and write one sentence you want true a year from now.
- 2
Where the effort starts
Choose the part of your life you'll log first — money, body, food, days — and make one real entry there.

Your first receipt
Your backbone, drawn: [domain], held by [value], aiming at what you named. And its first proof is already on the record.
Sunday brings the first verdict: did the week point at this, or drift past it? Free runs the whole loop — backbone, daily mirror, weekly bilan.
When was the last time you reopened your life plan?
For most people, the plan lives in a document, written in a burst of clarity in January, then never touched again. The resolutions fade because nothing closes the loop — there's no moment where you sit down, look at what you said mattered, and ask whether you moved toward it. So you stay busy, you do a lot, and quietly you lose track of whether any of it is pointing where you wanted to go.
A plan that does the one thing a doc can't
A plan that stays alive
Your vision, life domains, and values live in one place you return to — not a static page you abandon. The structure runs from vision down to annual objectives, milestones, and concrete action plans, so the big picture and the next step are never far apart.
A feedback loop, not a wish list
Quarterly strategies and period reviews — the bilan — are built in. You don't just set objectives and hope. You come back, see what moved, and adjust. This is the part every resolution is missing.
Your daily effort, tied to what matters
The roughly 30-second daily log you keep in Keep The Process feeds straight into the plan. Effort stops being scattered activity and becomes evidence of whether you're moving toward your objectives.
The whole picture, in one view
Every life domain you define rolls up into one dashboard. Instead of guessing whether a busy month was a meaningful one, you can see it.
How it works
Define what matters — your Backbone
Write your vision, name your life domains, set your values and annual objectives. This is the spine the rest hangs from.
Log the effort — about 30 seconds a day
Keep the small daily record going. It's manual on purpose: the noticing is the point, and it feeds the plan without you thinking about it.
See the whole picture — and run the bilan
Step back for your quarterly and yearly reviews. See where your effort actually went, compare it to what you said mattered, and adjust the plan. Deviating from your path isn't the problem. Not coming back is.
More than a life-planning app
The plan is the Backbone — but Keep The Process is the whole alignment loop around it. The daily tracking that records your effort feeds the plan directly, and every other corner of your life — finances, training, reading, food — rolls up here too. If you want the idea behind all of it, start with the philosophy this is built on.

Go deeper on the life-plan door — a backbone, not a Sunday planning session.
Your plan stays yours
Keep The Process is manual by design and privacy-first: nothing is synced behind your back, your data isn't sold, and you own what you put in. The reflection only works if the space is genuinely yours.
Pricing
You can start tracking for free — the daily 30-second loop and one corner of life, with about three months of history. The full life plan — vision down to action plans, the quarterly and yearly reviews, the whole-life picture, and multi-year history — lives in the Premium tier, where the plan becomes a living system instead of a list. One app instead of a $300–500/yr pile of separate tools.

Isn't this just a Notion template?
A template gives you a blank structure and leaves you to maintain it. Keep The Process gives you a plan with a built-in feedback loop — quarterly and yearly reviews, and a daily log that feeds back in — so the plan stays current instead of going stale in a tab you never open.
How is this different from an annual-review doc?
A doc is a snapshot. This is the loop. Your objectives, milestones, and daily effort stay connected all year, so when review time comes, you're reading real evidence — not trying to reconstruct the year from memory.
Do I have to log everything every day?
No. The daily record takes about 30 seconds, and you can start with a single corner of your life. It's deliberately small and deliberately manual — the noticing is the part that matters.
What happens to my data?
It stays yours. No bank or third-party sync, nothing sold. You own what you put in, and you can leave with it.
Can I try the full plan before paying?
Yes. There's one 14-day trial with no card required, and the daily tracking loop is free to keep using either way.
