Widgets and a clearer workflow in FrogHappy

This update changes much of FrogHappy’s interface. Android’s new home-screen widgets bring habits and mood check-ins within easy reach, and Work now follows a clearer route from areas to projects to tasks.

I also revisited Journal, Notes, Settings, and reminders, so common actions are easier to find and the screens feel more connected.

Small widgets, right where you need them

Android now has two FrogHappy home-screen widgets. The Habits widget lets you check off a habit without opening the app. It puts unfinished habits first and fits up to three rows, depending on the widget’s height; larger sizes can also show when more habits are waiting. The mood widget brings a quick “How are you feeling today?” check-in to the same place, with the familiar frog faces.

I like that these are small, practical pieces of FrogHappy you can keep close throughout the day.

A clearer path through Work

The Work project library starts with areas, then leads into the projects inside each one. Search helps when the list grows, while pinned and recent projects make familiar ones easy to return to. Inside a project, tasks and their details stay together, and task creation has a dedicated screen. If you schedule a task, FrogHappy can send a local reminder at that time.

More room to reflect and keep

Journal now includes a line chart for mood across days and a bar chart for mood by time of day. When a day or hour has several entries, the charts show average mood for that period, so every check-in contributes to the pattern.

The notes library is a small vault for things you want to keep around: a recipe, a poem, or a thought you may want to revisit. If a note turns into something you want to act on, you can move it into Work.

And a little room to play

Labs has three small frog-filled activities: Lily Pad Hop, Habit Terrarium, and Frog Memory. They offer a different kind of break, and their progress stays on the device in its own local storage, separate from your planning data.

A softer first opening

New users see a one-time welcome when they first open the installed app. The optional positive reminder can follow if it is enabled. You can personalize its preview with a frog illustration and colors, then share it as an image.

My hope is that FrogHappy feels easier to pick up throughout the day: check off a habit, find the project you need, or save a thought for later. And when you want a break from the list, the frogs are ready.
