Your GitHub contribution graph, right on your home screen โ€” no account required. GitWidget turns any GitHub username into a live, visual snapshot of coding activity. Browse a beautiful animated contribution heatmap, check total contributions, current streak, and longest streak โ€” all without signing in to anything. Enter a username and you're up in seconds. The widget is the star of the show. Pin a small or medium home screen widget to any GitHub username and see the last 3 months of contributions at a glance. GitWidget refreshes throughout the day, so your stats stay current as new commits roll in. Whether it's your own profile or a teammate's, your activity is always one swipe away. Then there's the dino. Commit today and it's absolutely thrilled. Skip a day and it sulks in the corner. Build a streak and it takes flight โ€” literally. It's a small touch, but the kind of daily nudge that actually works. No login. No account. No setup beyond typing a username. GitWidget is built for developers who want their stats visible and immediate, not buried in a browser tab. Recent usernames are saved for quick switching between profiles, and pull to refresh grabs the latest activity whenever you need it. Four color themes โ€” classic green, blue, purple, and sunset โ€” let your widget look right at home on any home screen aesthetic. If you care about your commit streak, want to keep an eye on a collaborator, or just love seeing that contribution graph in all its glory, GitWidget is the simplest way to put it front and center. Download GitWidget and pin your streak to your home screen today.
