Is the side project launch template free?

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Using it inside ActivityTracker, with the dates filled in, needs an account.

How do the dates work?

Each task has a day counted from the start: Day 1, Day 3 and so on. In ActivityTracker you pick a start date or a finish date, and every task lands on a real day. Tasks that repeat keep repeating.

Can I change it after I add it?

Yes. It's your project: rename it, add tasks, delete the ones you don't need. Save your version with Save as template and it's there next time.

What if the project I need isn't here?

Describe it in a sentence and the AI in Tasks writes a template for it, with sections and dates you can change before you use it.

About this template

Side projects die in the polishing. This plan gets one to a first public version in eight weeks by fixing the launch date first and cutting scope to fit it, then spends a week listening to whoever showed up.

Tips from the template

Set the launch date and do not move it; move the scope.
Write the launch post in week two, before the thing exists.
The listening week matters more than the launch.
