Every year, you spend thousands of hours at work. But are they worth it? Keel is a private work journal that helps you track job satisfaction, see what is improving or wearing you down, and decide what needs to change. A check-in takes 30 seconds. Score your workday, note what lifted it or pulled it down, and add a note if you want. Over time, Keel turns those moments into a clearer record of how work is actually affecting you. SEE HOW WORK IS REALLY GOING • Follow your job satisfaction trend over time • See whether your workdays are improving, slipping, or unchanged • Find the people and conditions that repeatedly shape your scores • Look back across your calendar, scores, drivers, and notes TAKE A CLOSER LOOK Quizzes help you explore: • Burnout and work strain • Your manager’s impact • The fit between what matters to you and what your job provides • Whether your situation supports staying, changing it, or planning to leave MAKE SENSE OF YOUR RECORD Your AI coach can use the context in your journal to help you think through a difficult week, a recurring pattern, or a decision you are not ready to make alone. It is there to help you reflect, not tell you what to do. KEEL IS FOR YOU IF • Work feels different from one day to the next • You are worried about burnout or a difficult workplace • You want to improve a job you otherwise like • You are unsure whether the problems can change • You are considering leaving and want evidence, not one bad day PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Your journal entries are stored on your device. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://siq-legal.kildegaardp.workers.dev/privacy
