fewwind/HabitBuilder

A simple and clean app with the right tools to keep track of habits and understand progress.

Habit Builder

Motivation

I needed a simple and minimal habit tracking app, so I decided to create my own.

This project is also a testing ground for new technologies I'd like to explore.

Features

• Keep track of new habits and see your progress
• Statistics: aggregate and per-habit stats
  • Per-habit: completion rate, weekly and overall count, streaks
  • Overall: calendar heatmap, top habits, top days for habits
• Customizable habit list layout, reorderable list
• All data is persisted on-device in a database
• Export, import, archiving of old items

🛠 Built with

• Compose-only UI:
  • Based on Material3, supports dynamic color
  • Light and dark theme
  • Smooth and delightful animations
  • No AppCompat dependency, single Activity
• Room: for storing data locally
• Kotlin Coroutines + Flow: for async operations
• Testing:
  • Unit tests for most of the business logic (ViewModels, mappings, etc.)
  • Instrumented tests for DB operations
  • UI tests for some Compose screens
  • Kotlin Flow testing with Turbine
• Showkase: UI component browser in debug builds
• Other interesting bits and integrations:
  • Modular codebase according to best practices
  • Gradle convention plugins for configuring modules
  • Licensee: 3rd party dependency validation, license report JSON for the Licenses screen
  • Ruler: a Gradle plugin that measures app size and libraries contributing to it
  • Gradle version catalog
  • Renovate: Automating dependency update PRs (works with Gradle version catalogs!)
  • Gradle dependency analysis: For automatically detecting unused dependencies and other common mistakes

Development

Useful Gradle tasks

• analyzeReleaseBundle: Run Spotify Ruler
• licenseeRelease: Run license check and generate app/build/reports/licensee/release/artifacts.json, which should be copied over to assets/licenses.json for the Licenses screen
• assembleRelease -Phabittracker.enableComposeCompilerReports=true: Write Compose compiler metrics to $module/build/compose_metrics
• buildHealth: Run dependency analysis (looking for unused dependencies, incorrect module structure)
