A Side Project Tracker That Actually Gets Things Shipped
Your side projects die in scattered notes and forgotten tabs. shipsolo keeps every project, its next task, and its distance to launch in one place.
Start freeFree for 2 projects. Pro is €5 per month or €36 per year.
The way to organize side projects is to track two things per project: the single next task and the progress toward launch. shipsolo does both. Each project gets a task list ranked by impact per minute, a milestone journey from idea to launch and beyond, and email reminders that resurface the next task on your schedule. Free for 2 projects.
Why solo builders pick shipsolo
Every project, one tracker
Instead of a notes app here and a spreadsheet there, each side project lives in shipsolo with its own board and milestone journey. Nothing gets lost when life gets busy for two weeks.
Always know the next task
Impact-per-minute scoring keeps each project ranked, so opening a project after a break means seeing one obvious next move, not re-reading the whole backlog to remember where you were.
Progress to launch you can see
Each project sits on a milestone journey: idea, MVP, launch, first customer, ramen profitable, 10k MRR. You can tell at a glance which projects are moving and which have stalled.
Nudges that survive dead weeks
Email reminders bring your next task to your inbox on a custom interval, with a mark-as-done link. Shipping streaks and the weekly recap email show whether the project is actually alive.
How it works
- 1
Add each side project
Create a project per idea and give shipsolo a short brief, or upload the source code as a folder or ZIP. The AI drafts a concrete task list for each one.
- 2
Trust the ranking
Tasks carry impact and effort estimates and get ranked by impact per minute. When you have an hour on a Tuesday night, the tracker tells you where it counts most.
- 3
Watch projects move to launch
Marking tasks done advances each project along its milestones, keeps your shipping streak alive, and shows up in your weekly recap email.
Frequently asked questions
▸How do I organize multiple side projects?
Give each project its own board, track one clear next task per project, and measure progress with milestones rather than task counts. shipsolo is built around exactly that: per-project boards, impact-per-minute ranking, and a milestone journey from idea to launch.
▸What is the best way to track side project progress?
Milestones beat completion percentages. shipsolo tracks each project from idea to MVP, launch, first customer, ramen profitable, and 10k MRR, so progress means something real, not just tickets closed.
▸How do I keep a side project from dying?
Stalls usually come from losing track of the next step. shipsolo keeps a ranked next task per project and emails it to you on a schedule you choose, with a mark-as-done link, so restarting after a break takes seconds.
▸Can shipsolo generate tasks for my side project?
Yes. Give it a written brief or upload your source code as a folder or ZIP, and the AI generates scoped tasks with impact and effort estimates that slot into the ranking.
▸Is shipsolo free for side projects?
The free tier includes 2 projects with tasks and impact scoring, which covers most side project setups. Pro adds more projects, email reminders, Studio, and API plus MCP access for €5 per month or €36 per year.
