Hobbies and Skills

Two sections that work the same way: one for the things you do for fun, one for the things you're learning.

Hobbies

Add a hobby you do, or one you want to try: painting, climbing, guitar. For each one you set:

• Status: Doing, Want to try, Paused or Stopped
• Importance: from Nice to have to Essential, so the list can show what matters most first
• A weekly goal: how many times a week you’d like to do it
• An icon and a color

Log a session from the list in one tap, or open the hobby to add the minutes and a note. The card shows your sessions this week against the goal, and the top of the page totals your sessions this week and your time this month.

Skills

Add a skill you want to learn: Spanish, woodworking, soldering. Skills have the same status, importance, icon and color as hobbies (Learning, Want to learn, Paused or Learned), plus a level:

Raise the level as you improve. Log practice to keep track of the time you put in. The top of the page shows how many skills you’re learning, the levels you’ve gained and the milestones you’ve reached.

Milestones and resources

Both hobbies and skills can have:

• Milestones: steps to check off, such as “Finish a blue route” or “Hold a 30-minute conversation”
• Resources: links and notes, such as a course, a video channel or a teacher’s number

Finding things

Filter the list by status, and sort it by importance, most recent activity or name (and level, for skills).
