Most side projects
don't fail.
They just quietly stop.
You didn't lose interest. Life just got busy. KeepGoing helps you return to unfinished projects without the mental friction.
A lightweight dev companion that remembers what you were doing and shows one small next step when you return.
Built for developers with full-time jobs and unfinished side projects.

Runs locally. Lives with your repo. Works inside your editor.
You know this cycle
You start excited.
You build every night.
Then work gets busy.
A few days pass. Then weeks.
Reopening feels heavy.
So the project quietly freezes.
It's not about motivation. It's about lost context — forgetting where you were, what you were thinking, what comes next.
What KeepGoing does
KeepGoing captures lightweight context as you work — what you were doing, where you left off, what's next.
So when you come back after days or weeks, you can resume with confidence instead of starting the archaeology dig through commits and branches.
Continuity
Not productivity. We help you continue, not optimize.
Lightweight
No dashboards. No streaks. No guilt. Just quiet context.
For developers
Built into your editor. Works with how you already code.
Who it's for
- → Developers with side projects that keep stalling
- → Open source contributors who context-switch often
- → Anyone who's ever said "I'll get back to this" and didn't
Planning to start something new?
Most side projects don't die because of bad ideas.
They die when life gets busy and momentum breaks.
Don't let your next idea become another ghost repo.
Start with KeepGoing so even if you step away,
you can return without losing context.

Why I'm building this
After abandoning too many side projects, I started building a tool to help me continue them slowly without losing context.
