Proven Sudoku
Features / Your stats
Your streak and your best times, kept for good
Your times are kept for good, unlike the boards, so you can see whether you are actually getting faster.
The problem
A time on its own tells you nothing. Seven minutes is good or bad only next to your other times, and most apps either show you nothing or bury the number in a screen you never open.
How it works
Every solve records its time and whether you used help. The stats screen shows your day streak, how many you started and solved, your best, and a separate best for solves that used no hints and no checks. It also shows your usual time and whether the last solve was faster or slower than before, so a trend is visible without doing arithmetic. Scores and ranks sit beside the times. The boards themselves are gone the next day. Your times are not.
Image to add: The stats screen showing streak, bests and the trend line. The repository holds no product screenshots yet, only the 68 technique diagrams, so nothing is shown here rather than something invented.
What you would use it for
See a trend rather than a number
Faster or slower than usual is the useful comparison, and it is worked out for you rather than left as a list to read.
Keep an unaided best worth beating
Solves that used a hint or a check are kept separately, so the best you are chasing is one you really earned.
Hold a streak that survives the day
The day streak counts the days you finished, and the record outlives the boards it was set on.
