What skills can I add?

Anything! Skill Max is designed to work with any skill, including music, languages, sports, games, and more. You can add as many skills as you want.

How do I add a skill?

The first time you load the app, you'll see an "Add Skill" button. Tap it to create your first skill. You must choose at least one category with a weekly goal of practice time.

You can also add, edit, and reorder skills later from the home screen by tapping the "Manage" button.

What are categories?

Categories let you split a skill into the individual areas you want to improve. For example, a "Guitar" skill might have categories like "Chords", "Scales", and "Songs". Time is tracked separately for each category.

How does time tracking work?

Start a timer for any category when you begin practicing, and stop it when you're done. You may track live sessions or manually enter past sessions. Skill Max keeps a history of your sessions and uses it to recommend what to work on next.

How are recommendations chosen?

Skill Max looks at your tracked time across all categories and chooses the one that has the lowest percentage of your weekly goal completed. This helps you focus on the areas that need the most attention.

Can I edit or delete a skill or category?

Yes. Tap "Manage" to edit the list of skills or "Edit" on the skill directly to edit or delete it. When editing a skill, tap a category to edit or delete it. Session history will remain intact even if you delete a skill or category.

Can I edit a session?

No. However, you may delete and re-add a session if you need to make changes. Sessions added retroactively will be counted toward your weekly goal for the week they are dated, not necessarily the current week.

1. To delete a session, tap the session in the history list and select "Delete".
2. To add a session, tap the category, select "Log a previous session", select the time, and tap "Log Session".

Is my data backed up?

No. All data is stored locally on your device. If you delete the app or lose your device, your tracked time will be lost.

Is this available for Android?

Not yet. Skill Max is currently only available for iOS devices. I may release an Android version in the future, but I don't have a timeline for that yet.
