Turn your everyday GitHub activity into a bonsai. Bonsai³ turns your GitHub activity into a small voxel tree.

Rotate and zoom your tree, or simply enjoy it beneath a sky that changes from morning to night. • Choose from Maple, Pine, Cherry, and Azalea, with eight pot styles. • Each bonsai reflects 90 days of activity. Revisit past bonsai to see how your activity has changed over time. • Turn your bonsai into a postcard and share it as an image. • Keep your tree on the Home Screen with widgets for iPhone and iPad. Start with a sample garden—no sign-in needed. Your bonsai and contribution history are handled on your device. No ads or tracking. Bonsai³ never receives your GitHub password.
