I'm a solo Android dev. This started as a personal itch: I wanted to know exactly how many lectures I could skip before my attendance dropped below the 75% my college enforces. Every existing app either made me type in semester totals, buried me in banner ads, or wanted a login for a thing that runs perfectly fine offline.

So I built Bunku. The whole idea is one number: how many classes can I safely bunk in this subject right now, and if I've already fallen behind, how many do I need to attend to climb back above my target. You add subjects, set a minimum % per subject (75, 80, whatever your college wants), and tap Present or Absent after each class. It does the maths — live percentage, safe-to-bunk count, colour-coded Safe / Warning / At Risk.

A few decisions I made on purpose:

• No ads, ever — free tier or paid. This was the whole reason I started, so putting ads in would've been hypocritical.
• Fully offline, no account. Your logs never leave the phone. No cloud, no sign-up.
• Pay once, not a subscription. Pro is a one-time ₹50 unlock (unlimited subjects, backup/restore to a file, CSV export, timetable, reminders). I hate renting software, so I won't make students rent this.
• Free tier is genuinely usable — 3 subjects, no time limit, not a trial that expires.

Slightly weird feature I'm oddly proud of: there are small pass-and-play games built in (2048, Tic-Tac-Toe, Air Hockey) for the gap between lectures. It fits the "college downtime" vibe and it was fun to build.

Tech stack: native Android (Kotlin), local storage only, no backend at all — which is why there's nothing to log into and no server bill to pay.

What I'd love feedback on:

• Is "how many can I bunk" clear enough as the core value, or does the games thing muddy it?
• The biggest competitor auto-imports attendance by reading a screenshot of your college portal (OCR). I'm debating whether that's worth building vs. keeping it dead simple. Curious what makers here would prioritise.

— happy to answer anything about the build.
