KeelenUse case — Indie hackers
Your Claude plan idles 20 hours a day. Put it to work.
If you're a solo developer with a backlog longer than your evenings, Keelen runs the project you never get to. You hand over the backlog as free-form requests; Keelen turns them into a roadmap, implements the top task in an isolated single-use VM on your own Claude, Codex, GLM, or Kimi credentials, verifies every change through test and review gates, and opens a pull request — then picks the next task and keeps going while you sleep.
The Indie plan is $29/month: 200 iterations, 3 projects, 2 concurrent runs, and one scheduled project on the 24/7 loop. You bring your own model key, so token usage bills to your provider account at cost — Keelen never marks it up.
- Hand over the backlog once — wake up to reviewed pull requests, not a blank editor.
- Runs on the Claude Pro or Max plan you already pay for; no token markup.
- Every change proves its tests fail before the fix — so unattended doesn't mean unreviewed.
- One scheduled project runs around the clock; pause it the moment you want the keyboard back.
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 — a Claude subscription login, an API key, a Codex login, a GLM key, or a Kimi Code membership key. If you own a Claude Pro or Max plan, the loop is the highest-leverage thing you can point it at: it runs on the subscription you're already paying for, and Keelen's $29 tier is the only new line item.
Unattended, not unreviewed
Five gates stand between the AI and your main branch: a red-first proof that new tests fail before the implementation, an independent adversarial review of the diff, your own test suite on a clean checkout, a CI-green requirement at merge, and a review window before gated auto-merge. Prefer to look first? Set the project to manual merge and Keelen opens the PR but leaves the button to you.

FAQ
Do I need a Claude Max plan to use Keelen?
No. Keelen runs on whatever credentials you connect — a Claude subscription login or API key, a Codex login, a GLM key, or a Kimi key. If you do own a Claude Pro or Max plan, pointing Keelen at it is the highest-leverage use of the 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.
