The key is a person
Invite anyone you trust — a partner, a friend. They grant or deny from one link, in any browser: zero install, zero signup.
Features
Willpower is a bad gatekeeper. A person isn't.
KeyBond seals the apps that eat your hours, on a schedule you set. The only way out early is asking the one person who holds your key.
Why it works
The lock is yours. The key is a person.
An honest lock
Nobody is uninstall-proof — we never claim it. Revoke access and your holder is told. A real emergency unlock always exists.
Privacy by architecture
Your holder sees only the minutes you ask for and the reason you wrote — never app names or usage stats. No “hours saved” scorecards. Ever.
How it works
Three steps, then it's out of your hands.
Seal your hours
Pick the apps and set a schedule — weeknights, work hours, whatever keeps slipping. Strict mode locks those settings while a seal is on, so 1 AM you can't quietly edit them.
Hand over the key
Send one invite by text or email. Your holder taps the link and they're in — the invite expires in 72 hours, and either of you can end the bond at any time.
Ask, don't sneak
Need out early? Request a fixed window of minutes with a short reason. Your holder grants or denies — and silence decides too: unanswered requests expire after 10 minutes.
The fine print, up front
What we don't promise.
Blockers love to overpromise. Here's exactly where KeyBond's walls are — so you can decide if they're high enough.
Not uninstall-proof. Nobody is.
Platform rules don't allow it, so we don't claim it. You can delete the app or revoke its permissions. What KeyBond does instead: detect revoked access, tell your holder, and — if the app simply goes silent — report “protection can't be confirmed.” Never a fake alarm, never a bluff.
Emergency unlock always exists
Hold for three seconds, any time, and the current seal ends. That's a feature, not a loophole — and your holder is notified every single time. Accountability that depends on hiding exits isn't accountability.
Your holder sees almost nothing
The minutes you asked for, the reason you wrote, and protection events. That's the whole list. No app names — iOS won't even tell us — no usage data, and no chat channel: asks are one-way, one-shot, never a conversation.
No invented numbers
KeyBond will never tell you it “saved you 12 hours.” The weekly review counts what actually happened — requests, breaks, streaks, interruptions — and its words never shame you.
Coming soon

iOS and Android at launch. Blocking stays free — the human key is the upgrade.
