Started using T3 Code and I'm loving it. My M3 Max MacBook stays home with an Android phone and iPhone 15 plugged in for testing. I work from my 14" M4 MacBook or phone on the go, with Claude Code, Codex and Grok all running. Token maxxing across all three. Great work @t3.gg 🙌

Journals in @habitpixel.com now support PIN, Face ID, and fingerprint unlock—so your entries stay for your eyes only!

Sol is so bad at UI compared to Opus it's just sad. I had Sol to **1** piece of UI change, it messed it up so badly I now have to make Opus clean up after it...

Enable widgets for Samsung Flip devices at the request of a user - looks beautiful! 🤩 Happy to see my @habitpixel.com on devices around the world, this one in France! 🇫🇷 🌎

Kind of excited to start working on my second app - it's an app concept I've had in my mind since some 8 years ago - but it's coming to life now! No hints yet, but here's the icon. I will be using it for the next couple of month internally and targeting a launch maybe around new year 😎

@habitpixel.com now support probably the most extensive set of schedule types out of all habit trackers. This is shipping as part of v29.0.0 and single-handedly closes like 20 feature requests for these type of schedules 😎

Wrote a custom Expo OTA server for @habitpixel.com which should allow me to publish OTA updates faster + also allow users to check for updates (OTA or store) manually. Expecting OTA costs to drop drastically since last time it costs me $45 for one OTA push on Expo infra 😅

Unleashed Opus 5.5 Extra High on @habitpixel.com code base 2 days ago to find and fix bugs/performance issues It's still going and it's found a crazy amount of wins that no other model could do - simply insane! In the process, I have had PRs to multiple projects to fix issues upstream...crazy 🤯

habitpixel.comHabit Pixel: Visual Habit Tracker for iPhone and AndroidColor a pixel for every check-in and watch your consistency grow. Streak goals, smart reminders and widgets, all offline with no account needed. Free on iPhone, iPad and Android.

New @habitpixel.com landing page and blog: habitpixel.com/ Claude Code reworked it and it looks much much better!

Happy October! 🍂 Another steady month for @habitpixel.com! September growth was a little slower, but the numbers kept moving in the right direction. Still building, improving, and learning as a solo dev! 🔼 Subs: +6.3% (2,727 → 2,900) 🔼 MRR: +4.0% ($3,105 → $3,229) Small gains add up. Onwards 📈

Landed one of the most requested features for Habit Pixel Android: transparent widgets. Users can now adjust between fully transparent to fully opaque in step of 5% 👾

Asked Claude to create a promo video for Habit Pixel. It one-shotted this, did it cook? 👀

I have been giving it some thought and I think it's time for me to call it a day on @StomodHQ and @AssistflareHQ I will be shutting both projects down in the next few months and disabling sign-ups. It hasn't been a success and server costs need to be cut.

Those were my first two projects which got my first paying users, but it just didn't gain the traction needed. However, it did set me up for success from the learnings for Habit Pixel. Now it's time to fully focus on the app business ✊

So yesterday, I left on 5% of my Codex usage left in anticipation of the reset promised by @thsottiaux - now I can't even burn it off wth Sol-6 and I've been at it all morning on High 😅

16 Sept

Love this review I got today! 🤩 User satisfaction with Habit Pixel seems at an all time high, just need some luck to break into the top 10 of habit trackers and that would make my year 🥺

12 Sept

Argent from @swmansion testing my notification system autonomously on a real iPhone 😎 I don't have to test a gazillion scenarios by hand, it taken care of automatically 👾

11 Sept

Following up on the new scheduling options in Habit Pixel from yesterday, I've implemented the "Add Reminders" sheet hoping it's more user friendly 👾 😅 What do you guys think?

10 Sept

Already Thursday! 😅 I'm nearly done with the most advanced habit scheduling mechanism and notification engine to back it up. This encapsulates all the different users requests I have been getting about more flexible scheduling and should cater for all cadences 😎👾

10 Sept

We now have: - Daily, every x days - Weekly, selected week days, every n weeks, week A/B cycles - Monthly, dates of month, day of week every n month, end of month - Rotating cycles - Yearly/Seasonal and more!

7 Sept

Good morning guys! Happy Monday! 👾 This week for Habit Pixel, I am focusing on building the most advanced scheduling engine for habit tracking. This will unlock a lot of user requested schedules which were not previously possible. Focusing on getting the UX right 😎

Had some fun making PIP inside Habit Pixel a little bit more interactive - it now skates over the bottom calendar strip and jetpacks over the list of habits when you scroll 😅👾

26 Aug

Building a tamagotchi inside Habit Pixel called Pip 👾 It will live throughout the app and will provide cue and helpful hints + will work together with rewards/badges/encouragement and eventually as a coaching partner for building habits 😎

22 Aug

Habit Pixel now supports marking habits as skipped or missed on certain days - this has been a much requested feature 😅 This helps users clear the habit off their list without having to wait for the day to end.

19 Aug

Finally reached $3000 MRR with Habit Pixel 😮‍💨 Wasn't easy but on target to reach $5000 MRR by EOY 👾

New @habitpixel.com lock screen wallpaper looking good 😎 Coming soon 🔜

11 Aug

Worked on improving the layout transition for Habit Pixel, it was previously too janky and wasn't exuding quality - I like this new one much better - there's scope for more improvement - but do let me know what you guys think 😎👾

Had Sol analyze users behavior on @posthog and determine what needs to be improved. The biggest issue with @habitpixel.com is retention post 3 days. Spent the last few day designing a retention flow and pretty happy with it 😎 👾

Your privacy remains central. Habit names, journal entries, individual check-ins, and personal notes aren’t sent to power this flow. Habit Pixel only uses a small summary of recent activity.

I'll measure whether these reminders actually help people return and continue their habits. If they don’t provide real value, I'll improve them—not simply send more. The goal is a calmer, more supportive Habit Pixel: A small nudge when it could genuinely help—and silence when it wouldn’t.

It also works when you check in from a widget. Habit Pixel will recognize that you’ve been active and avoid sending an unnecessary reminder later. Notifications follow your timezone and language, so they arrive at a sensible local time—even when you travel.

I’ve built in strict limits to prevent notification overload. Before sending anything, Habit Pixel checks whether you’ve already returned, whether a reminder is still relevant, and whether you’ve received enough messages.

If you’re already active, the app leaves you alone. If you’ve recently fallen out of rhythm, Habit Pixel may send a gentle reminder at the moment it’s most likely to help.

The messages change depending on where you are in your journey. Someone taking their first steps shouldn’t receive the same message as someone returning after two consistent weeks.

Building a habit is exciting at first. The difficult part comes a few days later, when life gets busy and the habit begins to slip.

Habit Pixel will look at your overall activity—not just one habit—to understand whether you’re getting started, building momentum, or drifting away.
