What you'll learn

7 things Side-project hours reveals about you.

  • The weekly hours shape you're actually maintaining — measured, not guessed
  • The split between weekday and weekend hours, and which produces better-quality sessions for you
  • The energy threshold below which day-job evenings effectively stop producing side-project hours
  • The blockers that most consistently stop you starting — your personal signature, not a generic list
  • The conditions and helpers that show up on your best side-project days
  • Whether consistency or bursts produce better progress for you specifically
  • Early signs that your momentum is fading — surfaced as numbers, not judgement

Who's tracking Side-project hours

People watching their own patterns.

The person building something on the side. The indie founder coding nights and weekends. The designer with a creative project tucked into Sunday mornings. The learner working through a course that the day job keeps interrupting. The first-time builder wondering whether the side project is real or a slow drift toward abandonment. This is for the curious self-experimenter who wants the receipt for their own momentum — not the generic "wake up at 5am and hustle" advice on every podcast, but the specific condition combination that actually shows up as a real-progress day in their own data.

FAQs

Common questions

Is the Side-project hours tracker medical or diagnostic?

No. Unhide is pattern-insight for self-improvement — not diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. The AI is explicitly prompted to avoid clinician language. If something concerns you, please talk to your GP.

Does the AI see my entries?

Only when an analysis runs — triggered in-app or delivered to your email. Either way, only your logged data and history is sent, never your personal information. Your data is never used to train any AI model. Full detail in the privacy policy.

What if I miss a day or two?

No streak guilt. Your insights stay accurate; the chart just has fewer dots. The AI explicitly works around gaps in your data instead of pretending they're zeros.

When is my first AI insight free?

At 30 days of entries, and again at 180 days, on every free tracker. Free plan includes 2 trackers — upgrade for monthly or weekly AI runs.

Can I delete everything?

Yes, anytime, no questions asked. Delete a single entry, a whole tracker, or the entire account. Deletion cascades through analyses and exports.
