GitHouse – Be Efficient, Code Better GitHouse is a Pomodoro timer built for developers who want to track their project progress and build better coding habits by staying focused and efficient. It’s more than just a timer—it’s a habit tracker that turns your coding sessions into a GitHub-style contribution grid, making your productivity measurable and visible. How it works: Start a focus session with the Pomodoro timer, and GitHouse logs your uninterrupted work time. Each session updates your grid—just like commits on GitHub—so you can see your streaks and stay consistent. Why use it? - Track multiple projects – organize your time across different work, side projects or leetcode time - Your focus grid is a Public Lounge – showcase your lounge and let others see your progress and maybe join you - See what others are building – get inspired by programmers working on cool projects (maybe work with them?) - A hub for focused work – think of it as your productivity copilot, keeping you accountable If you’re looking for a way to build better coding habits, stay on track with your projects, and connect with a community of builders, GitHouse is for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Detox at none against GitHouse's 2. GitHouse's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
