UsageNotch for Android 1.4.0 is rebuilt in liquid glass, in the spirit of iOS, and gets budgets, a best time to start, a 90-day calendar and a weekly recap.
Liquid glass
- Cards, the tab bar and controls sample what's behind them, bend it at their edges (Android 13+), blur and saturate it (Android 12+), and catch the light on a specular rim. Soft coloured light drifts behind, tinted by your providers.
- A floating glass tab bar. Its selection is a drop of glass that glides with a spring, stretches with its speed, swells under your finger and can be dragged across tabs.
- A floating status capsule that springs open into a mini dock of rings when you scroll.
- Clean and minimal: the taglines and explanations are gone.
- Android 9 to 11 get the same shapes with a denser tint.
Plan your usage
- Budgets: keep a limit under a percentage, optionally by a time of day ("60% by 6 PM"). A tick marks it on the ring, bar and widget, and the app tells you when you're near it, on pace to pass it, or over it. Usage alerts include budgets.
- Best time to start: when to start a session so it renews in the middle of your usual busy hours, from your PC's history.
- Weekly recap on Sunday evening, from the history on your phone.
History
- A 90-day calendar (with UsageNotch for Windows 2.5).
- Your providers side by side on one chart.
- Daily bars grow in one after another as they scroll in. Tap one and it morphs into that day's card: your average, the day's rank and what your other limits used.
Rings and colours
- Comet-trail rings, a hairline showing the time left before each reset, and a particle burst when a limit renews while you watch.
- Pick an accent colour for each provider. It tints the provider's card, charts and the ambient light. Rings keep the usage colours.
Widgets
- A glass body that lets your wallpaper through, with a specular rim.
- A refresh button from about 2×1 up. It updates straight from your PC with a spinner.
- Larger rings on tall widgets. Budget ticks and time-left hairlines.
Fixes
- Choosing wallpaper colors no longer jumps back to Overview.
- Budgets and colours chosen while exploring sample data are never saved.
