Show HN: Habit Pocket – track numbers and times of day, not just checkmarks

Habit Pocket is a habit-tracking app that focuses on tracking numbers and times of day rather than simple checkmarks, allowing users to log quantitative data and daily timing for their routines.

Background

- Habit Pocket is a new habit-tracking web app that focuses on measuring numeric values and times of day for each habit, rather than the traditional binary checkmark (done/not done). The "Show HN" prefix indicates it was posted on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com), a popular tech community, by its creator for feedback. - Most habit trackers (like Habitica, Streaks, or even simple to-do lists) only let you mark whether you completed a habit. Habit Pocket argues that many real habits — like "read for 30 minutes," "wake up by 7am," or "drink 8 glasses of water" — are better tracked with numbers and times, not just a check. - This matters because it reflects a growing niche in the quantified-self and productivity space: tools that treat habits as measurements rather than binary goals, appealing to users who find simple checkmarks too rigid or demotivating.
