floret-kit 0.7.0 pulls in material3 1.5.0-alpha29 on the runtime classpath while the app still compiled against alpha21. alpha29 removed the composable-content ButtonGroup overload, so the stopwatch and timer controls threw NoSuchMethodError as soon as a tab opened. Align the Compose BOM, material3, core-ktx and appcompat with floret-kit 0.7.0, and make each variant's compile classpath resolve consistently with its runtime classpath, so a future skew fails the build instead of a user's app. The two ButtonGroups never used animateWidth, so they become a Row with the group's spacing; the removed ToggleButtonDefaults.shapes() was the default anyway.
Clockula
A modern Material 3 Expressive clock app for Android.
Alarms, timers, stopwatch and world clock. Open standards, no account required.
Clockula is the clock sibling to Calendula
(calendar) and Agendula (tasks). The
name follows theirs: clock, given Calendula's -ula ending. A Calendula flower
head is botanically a cluster of many small florets, so the three apps are
florets of one bloom. They also share one library, floret-kit.
🧪 Beta. Clockula 1.0.0 is in beta: feature-complete, and being tested before the stable release. See Install to try it.
The honest difference from its siblings
Calendula is a pure front-end over Android's CalendarContract. Agendula speaks
the dmfs TaskContract. Both put a good interface on a standard someone else
already maintains.
There is no open provider behind a clock. Alarms, timers and laps are
Clockula's own data, so Clockula is the first app in the family to own its
storage, and does so by design. The first section of
docs/PLAN.md sets out what takes the place of a shared
standard, and it comes down to three things:
- Clockula speaks Android's standard alarm contract. It implements
android.provider.AlarmClockin full, so your assistant and your automation apps can set alarms and timers in it exactly as they would in any stock clock, and the system status bar and lock screen show its next alarm. - World clocks are IANA time zones, not a bespoke city list that goes stale.
- Your data exports to a documented, versioned JSON file whenever you want it, because data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
Alarms that actually ring
An alarm app is only worth having if you can trust it, so Clockula treats reliability as the main feature. Alarms are scheduled as real alarm clocks (doze-exempt and visible to the system) and re-resolved against your current time zone whenever anything moves underneath them, so DST and travel don't silently shift them.
When something on your device would stop an alarm ringing, Clockula tells you which setting it is and takes you there, instead of failing quietly at 7am.
Install
Betas are published as pre-releases on
Codeberg, with the signed
APK and a .sha256 checksum attached. Download the APK there, or add
https://codeberg.org/jlmakiola/clockula to
Obtainium and switch on Include
prereleases for it so it finds the beta. A beta updates in place to later betas
and to the stable release.
From the stable 1.0.0 on, every release also goes to the self-hosted F-Droid repository that serves Calendula and Agendula.
Documentation
Start with docs/: PLAN.md is the spec and the
reasoning, ROADMAP.md is the status,
ARCHITECTURE.md is how the code is put together, and
RELEASING.md is the release runbook.
Building
git clone --recurse-submodules https://codeberg.org/jlmakiola/clockula.git
cd clockula
./gradlew assembleDebug
floret-kit is a submodule built from source as a Gradle composite build, so
--recurse-submodules is not optional. The included build needs to find the
Android SDK on its own: either export ANDROID_HOME, or drop a sdk.dir=… line
in a (gitignored) floret-kit/local.properties.
