Habit-tracking app with GitHub-style grids

Hi HN! After ~9 months of development, I published my very first app to the App Store. It's called Checker, a habit/goal-tracking app that uses GitHub-style calendar grids to visualize your progress. It's relatively simple for now but I'll be adding quite a few features in the coming months, like board color themes, Apple Health integration, more widget styles, etc. Hope you give it a try, and if you do, please let me know if you have any feedback.

Habit-tracking app with GitHub-style grids launched on July 24, 2024 with 11 votes, #1,369 of 5,184 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

Checker is a habit and goal-tracking app that displays progress using GitHub-style calendar grids. Users can visualize their tracking patterns and consistency at a glance. The app is designed for anyone building or maintaining habits and currently offers basic tracking functionality. Planned features include customizable board color themes, Apple Health integration, and additional widget styles.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
