Hey Product Hunt! Ali here, founder of SideTracked. I built this after a brutal moment of honesty: I'd been "working" on my project for weeks and had almost nothing to show for it. Not because I was lazy. Because every day I'd end up doing things that felt productive, redesigning things nobody asked for, reading competitor blogs, starting new ideas when the current one got hard. The problem wasn't focus. It was that I couldn't tell the difference between real progress and productive-feeling avoidance. SideTracked is what I built to fix that for myself. One project. Five AI-generated moves a day specific to your goal and identity. And an alignment guard that asks one question before you can add anything new to your list: does this actually serve today's goal? It's free to try. I'd genuinely love to hear whether the alignment guard catches you on something real in your first session, that's the moment it either earns your trust or it doesn't. Ask me anything. Happy to be here all day. Ali

Not a typo, not false modesty, just where things actually are.

Here's what I've learned that's more useful than the number itself: people don't drop off because the idea doesn't land, they drop off somewhere in onboarding before they ever see the AI generate their first 5 tasks. I'm digging into exactly where that happens this week.

If you tried SideTracked and didn't stick around, genuinely, what made you bounce? Not being polite about it helps me more than anything else right now. And if you did try it, I'd love to know if the alignment guard caught you on something real.

The Problem

I built SideTracked around one observation: most people don't lose their projects to laziness or distraction. They lose them to things that feel like work but aren't.

Curious whether this resonates with people here. What's the most convincing "productive" thing you've caught yourself doing instead of the actual work?
