Use cases
SideQuick is a quest board for real life: you break work into stages, finish quests in order or tweak the tree, run timers when you need them, and keep streaks honest. These guides spell out how I would set that up for four common workflows. The app stays completely free, you never need an account, and your data stays on your device whether you are on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Studying
Turn a dense subject into stages and quests, run Pomodoro study blocks on your desk, and let streaks nudge you back after a rough week.
Open guideProgramming and side projects
Let AI draft a sensible quest tree, code in focus mode, and keep a streak so the repo does not go quiet for a month without you noticing.
Open guideWriting
Shape outline, draft, and revision as quests, hide distractions in focus mode, and sprint with Pomodoro when word count goals feel fake.
Open guideLearning a new skill
Lay out a learning path as quests, tick milestones for dopamine that is not toxic, and use XP and levels as honest progress markers.
