We score actions, not faces.

Last updated: July 2026

Solo Maxxing is a self-improvement app that treats your real life as an RPG. You get five stats, three daily quests aimed at whichever stat you're neglecting, XP for finishing them, and a rank from E to S that you can only move by doing things. It is in development for iOS.

Why this exists

Self-improvement online split into two bad options. One half became looksmaxxing: apps that photograph your face, score your jawline, and sell you a number that you cannot change through effort. The other half became productivity theatre: habit trackers with streaks so forgiving that missing a week costs nothing, and dashboards that make planning feel like progress.

Both fail for the same reason. Neither one measures the thing you actually control. A face score is a verdict you can't appeal. A streak you can't break is a score that means nothing.

We built Solo Maxxing around the opposite premise: the only honest score is the one you earn by acting. If you did the work, the number moves. If you didn't, it doesn't, and something tells you so plainly.

The one rule we won't break

Solo Maxxing will never ask for a photo of your face or body, never rate your appearance, and never sell an aesthetic ranking. Not as a feature, not as a PRO upsell, not later.

This is a product constraint, not a marketing line. It rules out a whole category of features that would be easy to build and easy to monetise. We're fine with that. Read the privacy policy — the commitment is written there too.

What the five stats actually measure

Every quest in the app maps to exactly one of five stats. They were chosen because each one responds to repeated action and each one can be observed without a camera.

Stat	What moves it
Body	Training, sleep, food, walking, recovery.
Mind	Reading, study, focused work, learning a skill.
Wealth	Tracking spending, saving, earning, building a skill that pays.
Discipline	Doing the thing you scheduled at the time you scheduled it.
Social	Contact initiated, plans kept, conversations that weren't a screen.

The assessment at the start sets a baseline for each. From then on the quest generator biases hard toward your weakest stat, because the stat you avoid is the one carrying the most upside. See how it works for the full loop.

How we design quests

Three constraints govern every quest in the library:

• It happens off the phone. The app is the scoreboard, not the game. Logging takes seconds.
• It's verifiable to you. "Be more confident" is not a quest. "Text one person you've been avoiding" is.
• It's sized to a bad day. Quests are calibrated so that a tired, busy version of you can still finish them. Heroic quests get abandoned, and abandoned quests kill arcs.

How ranks work

Ranks go E → D → C → B → A → S, and they're driven by sustained XP rather than a single good week. Each rank unlocks a mechanic instead of a cosmetic: arcs (30-day campaigns like monk mode), the Weekly Boss, custom quests. You cannot buy a rank, and PRO does not accelerate one. That would make the number meaningless, which is the problem we started with.

About the coach

The weekly review is generated by a large language model that sees your quest history, stats and streaks — never your email or identity. It's prompted to be accurate rather than encouraging, which in practice means it will tell you that you've been grinding the stat you're already good at and avoiding the one that matters. You can use the app with the coach turned off entirely. The privacy policy covers exactly what gets sent.

Where we are

In development, coming to iOS first. Free to play, with an optional PRO subscription for unlimited coach chat, age-group percentiles, streak freeze and pro arcs. No ads, ever — the business model is a subscription, so we're not incentivised to keep you scrolling.

Who writes this

Solo Maxxing is built and written by Andrii Matsiuk, its founder. The posts in the field notes — winter arc, monk mode, discipline vs motivation — are the same protocols the app's quest library is designed around, written up before they became features. Where a claim comes from research rather than practice, it's cited inline; where it comes from running the thing, it says so. Reply to support@solomaxxing.app and it reaches him.
