Keep
Keep is a fitness app developed by Beijing Calorie Technology Co., Ltd. (北京卡路里科技有限公司), with the official slogan “自律给我自由” (self-discipline gives me freedom) and a mission of using technology to get more people to exercise. The app offers workout courses to follow along, activity tracking for running and cycling, calorie data, and a community; a Keep store sells fitness equipment and gear, and the official site notes data syncing with smart hardware.
Usage and boundaries
Keep’s core scenarios are everyday fitness: following workout courses, recording outdoor runs or rides, and checking calories and weight data. Some courses and features may require a membership; membership benefits and prices belong to the in-app terms and the official website.
Discussion in the show
In Weekly #004’s chapter “Muse Charm, Phones, and the Entry Point for AI,” Orange says he uninstalled Keep because voice broadcasts interrupted with ads and wrote his own cycling app in the Chinese transcript, which records his rides and announces distances; he uses the example to discuss personal development and system permissions in the iPhone ecosystem. This is personal experience and choice, not an overall assessment of Keep.
