Session Stacker vs SkillForge

Session Stacker is a revolutionary productivity tool designed specifically for side hustlers and builders juggling full-time jobs and personal projects. It addresses the common struggle of losing momentum due to forgetfulness about tasks you've previously worked on. By introducing a simple yet effective habit, Session Stacker enables users to set their next task before ending a work session. This eliminates the frustrating 20-30 minutes spent recalling what to do next when you sit down to work again. Targeted towards those with limited evening energy, this tool provides a clear, actionable step every time you engage with your project, allowing you to maximize your productivity without the noise of complex project management software. With features like AI-powered task review and detailed progress stats, Session Stacker empowers you to transform your side hustle into a reality, one focused session at a time.

I built SkillForge because I kept running into the same problem — I'd practice audio production or graphic design for a few days, then completely lose the habit with zero record of my progress. Every productivity app I tried was either too generic or made for corporate project management, not for creatives who just want to get better at their craft.

The core idea was simple: what if practicing your skill felt like levelling up in a game?

So I built a skill tracker where every minute you practice earns real XP, builds streaks, and unlocks badges. The more you show up, the more you level up — from Level 1 to Level 10 across any creative discipline you choose (audio, design, dev, video, photography, and more).

What surprised me most during development was how much the AI Coach feature resonated with early testers. Instead of just logging time, the AI analyzes your session history and tells you exactly what to work on next — it noticed patterns in people's practice that they hadn't noticed themselves.

A few things I'm proud of:
🔥 Streak system that actually keeps you accountable
🤖 GPT-4o-mini powered coaching that builds you a personalised 7-day plan
📶 Fully offline-first — your sessions save locally and sync when you reconnect
👥 A community feed so you're not grinding alone

This started as a personal tool and grew into something I genuinely use every day. I'd love to hear what you think — especially from fellow creatives.
