How it works
Three steps to execution
Step 1
Define your product goal
"Launch a waitlist MVP in 6 weeks" or "Hit $1k MRR by August." The AI understands indie hacker workflows and builds a real plan — not a generic checklist.
Goal: Launch my SaaS MVP and hit $1k MRR
Context: Solo indie hacker, evenings & weekends
Priority: High
Step 2
Get a launch plan in seconds
AI generates milestones — validation, MVP build, launch prep, and growth — with tasks and timelines tailored to your constraints.
Validate & Scope
Weeks 1–23/3 tasks
Build MVP
Weeks 3–72/3 tasks
Launch & Grow
Weeks 8–100/3 tasks
Step 3
Ship with focused build sessions
Your daily view merges build tasks, marketing tasks, and admin. Use Deep Block or Flow State sessions to protect uninterrupted coding and writing time.

App to replace your scattered build docs
You can build it. Finishing and scaling it is the hard part.
MVPs that never launch, revenue targets that stay vague, launch checklists that live in 5 different tabs. You need one system to close the gap.
Before
The Old Way
- Too many ideas, not enough shipped products
- Revenue targets sit in a doc with no plan behind them
- Launch prep chaos the week before going live
- No system to balance building with marketing and distribution
After
Chosen FocusChosen Focus
- AI turns product ideas into structured launch plans
- Revenue milestones tracked with concrete weekly tasks
- Built-in launch checklist logic across every project
- Focus sessions protect deep building and writing time
A day in the life
What a focused day looks like
Morning build review
Check daily view — 2 feature tasks, a landing page edit, and a user interview to schedule. Start with the feature that blocks everything else.
Deep build session
90-minute Flow State on the core feature. No Twitter, no Discord — just shipping.
Marketing burst
Quick Sprint (25m) — reply to 5 potential users on Twitter, update changelog, post build-in-public tweet.
AI mentor strategy session
Talk through pricing with the AI mentor — whether to go freemium or paid-only. Get feedback grounded in your current MRR target.
Afternoon build block
45-minute Deep Block on the billing integration. Task linked to the "Hit $1k MRR" goal milestone.
Evening reflection
Log what shipped today, note any blockers, and let the system surface tomorrow's most critical build tasks.
