Track hobbies with XP

Track your hobbies with XP and levels

Hours of practice are hard to see. A level from 1 to 99 isn't. LVL 99 IRL has a ready plan for 99 skills, from piano and climbing to vibecoding and wine, each with quests placed at the hours they really take.

What a plan looks like

Pick a skill and answer three questions: where you are now, how often you can practise, and why you're doing it (for fun, to get good, or to compete). The plan reshapes itself around the answers: your starting level, your weekly target, and which quests and final goals you get. A few examples from the ready plans:

Measure output, not just time

Minutes are the backbone, but some things are better counted another way. Photography counts photos taken as well as shooting time. Reading counts finished books. Chess counts games by time control, so a classical game is worth more than a blitz one. A race day is worth half a day of effort, because that's what it is.

Side quests for when practice gets samey

From level 5 each skill opens a pool of side quests: small detours that make you try something new, like a photo walk at a different time of day or a dish from a cuisine you've never cooked. They're optional, and they're often the sessions you remember.

Gear you already own counts

Tell the app what you already have, like a digital piano, a tripod or a cast-iron pan, and it's taken off the list of rewards to earn. Anything waiting on it opens. If a suggested reward isn't you, swap it, or edit the name, price and level yourself.

No plan for your hobby?

Search finds the closest of the 299 plans as you type. If none fits, the Game Master designs a skill for you from a short questionnaire: activities, a weekly target and a quest ladder, which you can edit before it starts.
