Contrigraph
Read full descriptionHide full description
Grow your grass. That's the whole app. "Contrigraph" is short for contribution graph — the GitHub habit of watching squares turn green as you show up. This app takes that feeling and points it at exactly one habit. ■ One habit, on purpose This isn't a multi-habit dashboard. Running, reading, lifting — pick one and track only that. Fewer things to manage is why it sticks. ■ A year-long strip to read your rhythm The band across the top isn't for reading any single day — it's texture. Glance at it and you can tell when you were on a roll and when things slipped, all year at once. Tap it to jump to that month. ■ A month calendar to look back and fix things The calendar is where the real reading (and rewriting) happens. Tap any day, past or present, and cycle its effort. Five honest levels — not counted, not measured: none, a little, okay, solid, perfect. ■ One big button for today No hunting through a grid. Today gets its own button. ■ A nudge only when you'd actually forget Notifications fire only on days you haven't logged yet, and you can log right from the notification. If a streak is alive, a second "before it breaks" reminder follows later in the day. ・Fully localized in English and Japanese ・Dark mode and Dynamic Type support ・Free, with a banner ad No motivation speech required. Just tap today's square.

Wurstfinger - The Keyboard for Fat Fingers Tired of typos? Wurstfinger is a privacy-conscious keyboard with large keys and swipe gestures. Based on the proven MessagEase layout, it replaces the cramped QWERTY grid with a 3x3 layout optimized for thumb typing. Unlike mainstream keyboards, Wurstfinger doesn't rely on invasive word prediction - instead, it achieves accuracy through ergonomic design. Large, well-spaced keys mean fewer missed taps, and the gesture system lets you access all characters without hunting for tiny buttons. FEATURES: • Large 3x3 Key Grid - Optimized for thumbs, not precision pointers • Swipe Gestures - Access 8 additional characters per key by swiping • 26 Keyboard Layouts - Arabic, Croatian, English, Estonian-Finnish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese (Hiragana), Japanese (Katakana), Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Spanish-Catalan, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese (with Telex input) • Compose Rules - Create accents through combinations (e.g. ' + a = á) • Circular Gestures - Draw a circle for uppercase letters • Cursor Control - Drag on the space bar to move the cursor, drag on the delete key to erase continuously • Haptic Feedback - Customizable vibration intensity • Fully Adjustable - Scale keyboard size to your preference PRIVACY FIRST: • No data collection • No network access • No word prediction tracking • All processing happens locally on your device Wurstfinger requires training - expect a few days to build muscle memory. But once you've crossed that threshold, you'll never want to go back to a standard keyboard. The gestures become second nature, and you'll type faster and with fewer errors than ever before. Your fingers will thank you!
