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.
Collie Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Collie Remote is the companion app for Collie, the coding agent that runs on your own computer. Collie writes a reproduction, runs it, and only calls a job done when an assertion it executed has passed. This app lets you watch that happen, and start it, from wherever you are. โข See what your machine is working on โ the reproduction, the edits, the verdict. โข Start a run from your phone; the work happens on your computer. โข Redirect a run that is going the wrong way instead of waiting for it to finish. โข Tell the computer what to do in plain words โ open an app, lock the screen, play something. โข Read the code it changed, so you can judge the change rather than take it on trust. โข Send a photo of the thing that is broken. HOW IT CONNECTS There is no Collie account and no Collie cloud. The app talks to Collie running on your own machine โ either directly over your network, or through an end-to-end encrypted relay when you are away from it. Pairing is one scan plus a number you confirm on the computer itself, so nothing gets in without someone at the keyboard agreeing. You need Collie on your Mac or PC first: https://collie.run Open source: https://github.com/colliehq/collie
