HabitClock
Live home-screen timers for habits: how long since you last did, or avoided, the thing.
My partDesigned it from three earlier counter apps of mine, compared two first builds, and took the working one to Google Play with two more models.

What it does
- Live home-screen timers: good habits count up since you last did them, bad ones show your quit streak, and one tap resets.
- The widget ticks with Android's own Chronometer, so it stays live without an update loop.
- Every widget is customisable: colours, size, which parts show, your own message, with a live preview.
- A guided first run: create a habit, add the widget, customise it.
- Offline: no accounts, cloud sync, analytics or ads.
Two first builds, one carried on
On the same day I started HabitClock in Cline (with Kat Coder Pro) and in Antigravity (with Gemini 3 Pro). The Cline build's Android manifest registers a widget class that was never written, so it could never show a widget. The Gemini build had a working native widget.
That build went on, with MiMo 2.5 and then DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, to Google Play.
It grew out of three earlier counter apps of mine: two written by hand in 2024, and Strides, built with Cline and Grok Code Fast in 2025.
