Use case · Indie hackers
Bring defined feature work back to your app. Return to reviewable pull requests.
If you are a solo developer and your backlog is longer than your evenings, start with one project and one defined task. Keelen rebuilds the context it needs. It turns your request into a roadmap. It builds the eligible tasks. Each run uses its own single use VM. It all runs on the AI key you connect. You get pull requests and the decisions that need you.
The Indie plan costs $29 a month. You get ~25 pull requests / month, 3 projects, 2 concurrent runs, and one scheduled project on the 24/7 loop. Pull request counts are estimates. They vary by repo and by request. Usage shows as a percent. Bring a supported AI subscription or API key. The plan fee and any charges from your AI provider are separate.
- Hand over a defined task. Come back to pull requests and the decisions that need you.
- Bring a supported AI subscription or API key you already pay for. Coding runs on it with no token markup.
- If the project has a verified test command, each new test must fail first. Then it must pass after the fix.
- A project keeps doing eligible work while its settings, provider, and controls allow it. Pause it any time. Review it or change direction.
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 is the hours. Keelen supplies the hours. It works from a standing roadmap. You do not have to babysit a chat window. 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 coding agents is model tokens. You bring your own subscription or API key for Claude Code, Codex, GLM, Kimi, or Grok. Grok takes a SuperGrok sign in or an xAI API key. If you have a Claude Pro or Max plan, you can use its supported allowance for the loop. Keelen's platform fee starts at $29 a month. Coding allowances, optional usage charges, and your review time stay separate.
Unattended work still gets reviewed
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 a month. You get ~25 pull requests / month, 3 projects, 2 concurrent runs, one scheduled project on the 24/7 loop, and 30-day log retention. Pull request counts are estimates. They vary by repo and by request. Usage shows as a percent. Bring your own model key. Coding 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.
