Everything's already wired

The parts you'd spend a month on, done right.

Not a pile of disconnected packages. A coherent codebase where auth knows about billing, billing knows about teams, and everything is typed.

/auth

Authentication

Email, magic links, and OAuth with Google & GitHub. Sessions, password reset, and email verification handled.

/billing

Stripe billing

Subscriptions, metered plans, the customer portal, and webhooks that actually stay in sync with your database.

/teams

Teams & roles

Multi-tenant orgs, seat-based invites, and role-based access control baked into every API route.

/app

Dashboard UI

A genuinely nice app shell, sidebar, command menu, data tables, and 40+ shadcn components themed to match.

/db

Type-safe database

Drizzle schema, migrations, and seed scripts. Change a column, and TypeScript catches every break instantly.

/email

Transactional email

React Email templates wired to Resend, welcome, receipts, invites, and password resets ready to send.

/ai

AI-ready infrastructure

Vercel AI SDK wired for Anthropic and OpenAI, a credit-based usage system, and a live streaming chat at /app/ai, the pattern your own AI features plug into.

Opinionated, not rigid

Readable code you'll actually want to extend.

No clever abstractions to reverse-engineer. Typed API routes, RBAC checks you can read top to bottom, and a folder structure that makes sense the first time you open it.

  • Fully typed from database to UI
  • Commented where it counts, quiet everywhere else
  • One .env, sensible defaults, no config maze
app/api/teams/[teamId]/billing/checkout/route.ts
// fully typed, autocompletes everywhere
export async function POST(request: Request, { params }: Params) {
const { teamId } = await params
const access = await authorizeTeamAccess(teamId, "billing:write")
if (!access.ok) return teamAccessErrorResponse(access)
 
const { url } = await billing
.createSubscriptionCheckout({ teamId, planId, interval })
 
return Response.json({ url })
}
Claude Code, orbit
 
> Why is every table scoped by team_id?
 
Reading memory/architecture.md…
Keel scopes all tenant data by team_id for multi-tenant isolation, see the RBAC section for how can() enforces it in every API route.
 
> Got it. Add a projects table the same way.
Built for your AI assistant too

Your AI assistant gets onboarded on day one.

Most boilerplates ship a CLAUDE.md that explains the boilerplate. Keel ships a memory system that keeps explaining your product, long after you've made it your own.

  • AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md + .cursor/rules, read natively by Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf
  • memory/architecture.md, the why behind Keel's decisions (RBAC, billing, schema)
  • memory/decisions.md, an empty log that grows with your product, not just Keel's

The things you're wondering.

One-time, full stop. You pay once and own the code. Studio and Agency include lifetime updates via the private repo; Solo is a one-time zip download of the codebase at checkout. Either way, no recurring fees and no per-seat metering.

Ready when you are

Your idea deserves a head start, not a setup.

Stop wiring auth, billing, and teams from scratch, and start shipping the thing you actually care about.
