If you're a keyholder, you know: chastity is more than just locking the male urge away. It's about how long, with what progression — and whether the agreement is actually being kept. At first glance that sounds like bookkeeping — hours here, days there, a spreadsheet that fills itself in. What's actually happening is something else: you're guiding a process that changes a body and a relationship. And that process has long since stopped being only about what's locked inside a cage.
That observation is exactly where the next feature we're working on came from: Device Categories.
Why Wearing a Plug Needs Training Too
Many of the keyholders we talk with describe the same picture: the device is locked, the penis safely shut away — but that doesn't mean the sub should be left without stimulus. Quite the opposite. Arousal is part of the dynamic, precisely because of the cage. The sub should feel the urge without being able to act on it — and that's something you can deliberately produce.
The plug is a classic tool for this. Anal stimulation combines well with most chastity devices, it works continuously, and it can be dosed precisely: through size, through wear time, through context. A smaller plug for everyday wear, a larger one for longer sessions, a particular one for special occasions — the keyholder decides.
But there's a point here that often gets underestimated: plug wear can't just be ramped up at will. What's obvious with the cage — careful build-up, breaks, cleaning, paying attention to the body — applies just the same. The mucosa is sensitive, the muscles need to adapt, longer wear times require training. Anyone treating a plug like a switch ("in or out") is missing the hours in between.
With dedicated training targets per category, that's exactly what becomes visible: the plug gets its own curve, its own minimum times, its own progression. The keyholder keeps an overview of what she's asking for — and the sub of what his body is actually delivering.
What's Changing
So far, Chastity Tracker has revolved around one thing at its core: the chastity device. Wear times, breaks, cleaning, inspection intervals all converge on the lock-up. With Device Categories, the view widens. You'll be able to create your own categories — plug or collar, for example — and define for each how long it should be worn, what counts as fulfilled, and where the next step lies.
The existing training targets feature (minimum time per day, per week, per month) stays the central mechanism. It just becomes more broadly applicable: no longer only hours in the device, but hours with a plug, days with a collar. Each category with its own goals, its own history, its own evaluation.
Tracking as a Relationship Tool
When we keep building on Chastity Tracker, we keep coming back to the same point: the data isn't the purpose. It's the material that two people use to talk to each other. A training target isn't "a number that has to be hit" — it's a suggestion, an expectation, sometimes a requirement, something that gets discussed. It makes visible what would otherwise stay in the gut.
By extending the tool to more categories, we give that conversation more room. A relationship in which a cage, a plug, and maybe a collar all play a role isn't "more complicated" — it just has more facets, and each of those facets deserves the same care as the device itself.
When It's Coming
The feature is in progress. The data model and migration are in place; we're currently working on the UI for managing categories. As always, we'd rather take a step slower than ship a half-finished concept.
Once the feature is live, you'll find it in the settings under "Devices" — and in the changelog. Until then, it's worth taking some quiet time to think about which things actually play a role in your dynamic. That list is usually longer than it looks at first glance.
