Show HN: Skillorum – an RPG-style time tracker for real-life skills

Skillorum, a time-tracking app that borrows mechanics from role-playing games to visualize progress on real-life skills, launched publicly on August 19, 2026, according to a Hacker News Show HN post by its author, luclom.

The app lets users log time spent on activities — coding, music, language learning, and similar pursuits — and translates those hours into RPG-style experience points and skill levels. The core pitch, per the Show HN submission, is that gamifying the record-keeping makes it easier to stay motivated and see long-term progress in a format familiar to anyone who has played a video game.

No founding team size, company structure, or funding details were disclosed in the submission. The product appears to be an early-stage, solo or small-team effort — the HN post was submitted under a single author handle, luclom — but no formal information about the team or its location is available from the sources provided.

The time-tracking and habit-building app category is well-established, with tools such as Toggl, Clockify, and Habitica already serving overlapping use cases. Habitica in particular takes a similar gamification approach, applying RPG mechanics to habit and to-do tracking. Skillorum's stated focus on skill-hour logging and leveling distinguishes it somewhat from pure task or habit tools, though the sources do not provide user numbers, pricing details, or comparative feature breakdowns.

The Show HN thread had received 2 points and 1 comment at the time of publication. No roadmap, hiring plans, or expansion targets were mentioned in the submission.
