THE PIVOT

Not a timer.
A scoreboard.

You already track practice inside the tool you practice with. MonkeyType shows typing time. A DAW logs studio hours. Lichess counts games. What you're missing: one place where all that scattered effort adds up.

The core action is logging hours you already did — fast, backdateable, in batches. Every log feeds a bold, emotional progress story toward 10,000.
