Early accessFor engineering managers at startups

Stop rebuilding six months of work from memory at review time.

Keel keeps a running record of each engineer's work from GitHub, Jira and Slack, and you both can see it. At review time it drafts the review, with every claim linked to the PR, incident or doc behind it.

How it works

Reviews built from what actually happened

63%of engineering leaders say their scope grew
45%are working more hours than a year ago

Why now: in LeadDev's 2026 survey, 63% of engineering leaders said their scope grew and 45% are working more hours than a year ago.

Privacy first

Built for trust, not tracking

  • Team-level by default. Individual detail only shows up in context you'd raise in a 1:1 anyway.
  • Engineers see their own data. Anything Keel tells you about someone, they can read too.
  • No lines-of-code scores. Keel cites real work: the PR, the incident, the design doc.
  • You stay the manager. Keel drafts and flags. You decide.
