Git Contribution shows your coding activity as a clean contribution heatmap in the app and on your home screen. Add public or self-hosted git provider profiles, then combine their activity into one calendar-style graph. Use it to keep a quick eye on your daily contribution rhythm without opening each service separately. What you can do: - Add multiple Git provider profiles. - Use public profiles, self-hosted servers, and optional tokens for private work repositories. - Preview a contribution heatmap inside the app. - Publish the same graph to the iOS home screen widget. - Refresh saved profiles when you want the latest activity. - Use light, dark, or system appearance. - Keep all features available whether or not you upgrade. Git Contribution Premium removes ads from the companion app. The widget, providers, profile management, and contribution graph remain available to everyone. Subscription information: - Git Contribution Premium Monthly: auto-renewable monthly subscription. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.
