What is KELO?

KELO is an SMS-based accountability coach that helps you stick to your goals. Instead of opening an app, KELO texts you every day. You can text back whenever you want, and KELO responds like a coach who actually knows your situation.

You save KELO as a contact and start texting. Each morning, KELO sends a personalized check-in based on your goals and personality preference. When you reply, KELO continues the conversation, asks follow-up questions, remembers what you told it, and adjusts to your schedule.

SMS has a 98% open rate within 3 minutes, compared to less than 10% for app notifications. You already check your messages constantly. With KELO, there's no app to download, no account to create, no dashboard to remember. You just text, like you would a friend.

You can track any goal: fitness, learning, writing, meditation, habit formation, weight loss, creative projects, or anything else. KELO learns your patterns and remembers your obstacles, so it gets better at coaching you over time.

Very. KELO learns your schedule, your obstacles, your wins, and your personality. You choose your communication style (Direct Coach, Supportive Coach, or No-Nonsense Coach), and KELO adapts its responses. It remembers everything you tell it and references it weeks later.

KELO is free to try for 14 days. After that, it starts at $9.99/month for the Basic plan (1 goal), $19.99/month for Pro (3 goals), or $39.99/month for Premium (unlimited goals). Cancel anytime, no credit card required for the trial.

Yes. KELO uses industry-standard encryption for all data, and we comply with SMS regulations (TCPA). We never sell your data, never share it with third parties, and never use it for marketing.

You can reply STOP to any KELO message to opt out immediately. Your account will be canceled and your data will be deleted. We also honor requests sent to hello@textkelo.com.

KELO is for anyone with goals who responds better to texts than app notifications. If you've tried habit apps and stopped using them, if you want someone paying attention to whether you followed through, or if you just prefer texting to opening apps — KELO is for you.

Currently, KELO is available only in the U.S. and Canada. We're working on expanding to other countries. If you're interested in using KELO outside these regions, email hello@textkelo.com and we'll prioritize your request.
