Daily Heroes is a time tracking app that helps you make consistent progress each day by tracking the time of your last activity. The app aims to help users avoid large time gaps and encourages making small progress before those gaps grow too large.

Platform: Web.

Status: In Development.

Suitable for: People who have many hobbies, don't follow a fixed schedule for their hobby time, and want an easy way to monitor past activity to consistently make progress with minimal time gaps.

It has a regular stopwatch mode for whenever you need it.

Background Timer

When you activate the stopwatch, a background timer chimes every 7 minutes, acting as a reminder. This helps you stay aware of time—whether you’re trying not to overspend on a task, taking regular breaks, or sparking fresh inspiration with a new activity.

Remember and Continue Past Activities

I wanted a new way to make progress on my hobbies without rigid lists and schedules. Listing and organizing everything felt cumbersome, so I thought up something new.

Now, instead of carefully planning out activities, I just dive into whatever my heart is set on in the moment. If it’s something worth revisiting, I’ll create a new activity instance for it; otherwise, I’ll just use the regular stopwatch.

Drawbacks and Limitations

This tool is a web app, so you’ll need to keep it open while using it. It’s best suited for devices with OLED screens; otherwise, it may cause screen burn-in.

While the stopwatch is active, a screensaver runs to help prevent burn-in on OLED screens. Since it mimics an Always-On Display (AOD), your phone essentially stays awake, so battery use is a consideration.

Personally, I keep ultra power saving mode most of the time, allowing me to use the app for a couple of days without needing a charge.
