Counter Tester – Interactive Simple Counter API Debugger for Super Productivity

Counter Tester is the ultimate real-time debugging console for Super Productivity’s Simple Counters system. Built specifically to verify the new counter API methods added in the now-merged PR #5459 (fixing #5398), it gives developers and power users a floating, touch-friendly playground to exercise every counter method with zero setup.

• Flat key shortcuts (setCounter, inc/dec)
• Full entity CRUD (updateSimpleCounter, setSimpleCounterDate, toggleSimpleCounter…)
• Type-aware everything – ClickCounter uses numbers, StopWatch & RepeatedCountdown use 1h 30m 15s parsing, streak min formatted as time
• Live history tables, streak badges with weekday count, JSON previews, enabled/on status
• Draggable & touch-ready console (mouse + Android WebView)
• Advanced streak editor – per-weekday checkboxes (Sun–Sat) that auto-show when “Track Streaks” is enabled
• One-click type-tailored test suite (creates → edits → deletes)
• Copyable logs + Material snacks

Important: This plugin works with the merged changes from PR #5459.
To test it now:

• Use the staging build at https://test-app.super-productivity.com (plugins enabled in Settings)
  Once released in the next official version, it will work in the stable app without extra steps.

Feature Highlights

• Floating Draggable Console – Dark-theme, resizable, fully draggable with mouse or finger, persists position/visibility
• Smart Counter Browser – Dropdown with type badges, today’s value (formatted as time for StopWatch), disabled grayed out
• Type-Specific Inputs – Numbers for ClickCounter, human-readable 1h 30m 15s parsing for StopWatch/RepeatedCountdown
• Rich Details – Collapsible JSON, sorted history table (recent first), streak info with formatted time and weekday count (e.g., Streak Min: 2h 15m (Days: 5/7))
• Partial Edit Modal – Title, streak min (time-aware for StopWatch), duration (time-aware), track streaks toggle + dynamic weekday grid
• Action Hook Logger – Real-time NgRx SimpleCounter action capture with payload snippets
• Copyable Logs – 📋 button on every line (primary + fallback)
• Automated Suite – “Full Type-Tailored Tests” runs a complete create → edit → delete cycle tailored to the selected counter type

Usage

1. Enable the plugin (Settings → Plugins → Counter Tester → Enable + Debug Mode)
2. Click the clock icon in the header (“Toggle Tester”)
3. Drag the console anywhere (mouse or finger)
4. Pick a counter → type-aware fields light up automatically
5. Hammer the buttons:
   • Get All Full – refresh everything
   • Set Today – uses value or time input (required for StopWatch)
   • Set Date – YYYY-MM-DD + value/time
   • Partial Edit – full streak weekday editor with dynamic checkboxes
   • Full Suite – destructive demo (deletes at end)

All changes instantly reflect in Settings → Simple Counters.

Happy testing! This console survived hundreds of runs during #5398 development and is now the fastest way to confirm everything works in staging. Touch-friendly, streak-smart, and zero setup. Enjoy! 🚀
