Use case — Indie hackers

Bring defined feature work back to your app. Return to reviewable pull requests.

If you're a solo developer with a backlog longer than your evenings, start with defined feature work in one project. Keelen rebuilds the needed context, turns your request into a roadmap, and implements eligible tasks in isolated single-use VMs using your supported AI credentials. It returns pull requests and decisions for your review.

The Indie plan is $29/month: 200 iterations, 3 projects, 2 concurrent runs, and one scheduled project on the 24/7 loop. You bring a supported AI subscription or API key. Keelen's plan and any charges from your AI provider are separate.

  • Hand over a defined task, then return to pull requests and decisions for review.
  • Use a supported AI subscription or API key you already have; no token markup.
  • Where a verified test command supports it, new tests must fail before the fix and pass after.
  • A project can continue eligible work when its settings, provider availability, and configured controls permit it; pause it when you want to review or redirect it.

The side project that never ships

Everyone has one: the repo with forty open issues and a README that promised more. The blocker is rarely the code — it's the hours. Keelen supplies the hours. It works from a standing roadmap rather than a prompt, so you're not babysitting a chat window; you drop in a request when you have new intent and reorder priorities when they change.

Cheap because you already own the expensive part

The costly input to autonomous coding is model tokens, and you bring your own subscription or API key for Claude Code, Codex, GLM, Kimi, or Grok. Grok accepts a SuperGrok sign in or xAI API key. If you own a Claude Pro or Max plan, you can use its supported allowance for the loop. Keelen's platform fee starts at $29/month; provider allowances, optional usage charges, and your review effort remain separate.

Unattended, not unreviewed

Your project can use red-first proof and clean-checkout tests when it has a verified test command. Configured required checks protect a merge. You can also choose review, manual merge, or branch-only mode before handing work to the loop.

FAQ

Do I need a Claude Max plan to use Keelen?

No. Connect a supported subscription or API key for Claude Code, Codex, GLM, Kimi, or Grok. A Claude Pro or Max plan is one supported way to use a subscription you already pay for.

What does the Indie plan cost and include?

$29/month: 200 iterations, 3 projects, 2 concurrent runs, one scheduled project on the 24/7 loop, and 30-day log retention. You bring your own model key, so token usage bills to your provider at cost with no markup.

Can I run it only when I want and pause otherwise?

Yes. You can pause a project or your whole account at any time, and revoke GitHub or model access in one click. Manual runs are always available if you'd rather trigger work by hand than leave the scheduler on.
