How a promise moves
The same three steps for lending a ladder, paying back a friend or delivering an order to a customer.
Record it
Type what was promised, by whom and by when. Or paste a chat and let Promikept find the promises for you.
Seal it
The other person accepts the exact words, date and amount. Neither side can quietly change it afterwards.
Keep it
Reminders keep it on track. When it's done, the other side confirms, and it counts toward your Word Score.
Built for the promises that matter
Small favours and big orders both run on trust. These tools make that trust visible.
Seal it with the other person
They accept the same words, date and amount. A digital fingerprint shows if anything is changed later.
Reminders before it's late
A reminder the day before and on the day, polite nudges from the person you promised, and a new date only if you both agree.
A Word Score that follows you
Every sealed promise you keep, on time or late, builds your score. Share it with a lender or landlord through a private link you can switch off.
Capture promises from a chat
Paste a WhatsApp chat, an email or meeting notes. Promikept finds the promises in it and you choose which to keep.
Get paid without the awkwardness
A step-by-step ladder for money owed to you: a friendly reminder, a firmer nudge, then a payment plan the other person can accept.
Written agreements and evidence
Turn a promise into plain-language terms both sides sign, and download an evidence pack as a PDF.
Escrow with release codes
Money is locked when the deal starts and released with a 6-digit code at handover, in stages if you like. In sandbox for now.
Circles for savings clubs
Run a mukando, stokvel or chama round where every contribution and payout is recorded for the whole group to see.

Questions people ask
What is Promikept?
Promikept is a free web app for recording promises between people and businesses. Both sides seal the same promise, get reminders, and every promise kept builds a Word Score.
Does the other person need Promikept?
You can record a promise with anyone by name, email or phone number. They can see and seal it once they join, and it links to their account automatically.
Who can see my promises?
Only the people in the promise. Your Word Score and record are private unless you create a Trust Passport link, which you can stop sharing at any time.
Is real money held in escrow?
Not yet. The wallet, escrow and payouts run in a sandbox with no real money while we finalise a licensed payment partner. Promises, sealing, reminders and Word Score are fully live.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Promikept runs in any modern phone or computer browser. On a phone you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Your next promise could be your first sealed one.
