About

Bonsai³

Read full description

Bonsai³ turns your GitHub contributions into a living voxel bonsai. Connect GitHub to grow a voxel bonsai from your recent contributions. Rotate and zoom the bonsai, choose its species and pot, and browse consecutive 90-day seasons to see how its form changes over time. Up to 12 seasons are kept in the history archive. Want a preview? Choose Look around first to view a fully grown bonsai and browse its seasons. No account or sign-in is required. Share any season as a postcard through Apple's system share sheet, or save it to your photo library. On iPhone and iPad, the Bonsai³ Widget keeps your current bonsai close at hand. GitHub authorization opens in Apple's secure browser session. Bonsai³ requests read-only profile access, stores the access token in the device Keychain, and uses GitHub's official GraphQL API. It never receives your GitHub password, email address, repository names, or repository content. Bonsai³ has no developer-operated server, analytics, ads, or tracking. The app and Widget share only the connected GitHub username, contribution snapshot, and bonsai data through Apple's private App Group storage. The Widget never receives the token or contacts GitHub. Bonsai³ is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub.
