A chart that tells your repo’s story

Updates itself
Redrawn from GitHub every few hours. No Actions to set up and no bot commits in your repo.
Every day counted
Built from GitHub’s per-day star counts for the repo’s whole life, not a handful of samples.
Spikes & breakouts
Launch days, Hacker News bumps and lasting jumps in growth are found and labelled for you.
Light & dark
Two themes for every chart, plus a snippet that switches automatically with GitHub’s theme.
Any public repo
No install or permissions. Chart your own repos, your company’s, or the ones you depend on.

Questions
Do I need to install a GitHub App or give you access to my repo?
No. Charts are built from GitHub’s public star data, so you can chart any public repo just by its name. There’s nothing to install and no permissions to grant.
Can I make a chart for a repo I don’t own?
Yes. Any public repository works: your own, your company’s, or one you want to keep an eye on.
How often do the charts update?
Every few hours. Charts count stars per day over the repo’s whole life, and the right edge always shows today.
Does it work with GitHub’s dark mode?
Yes. Every chart comes in a light and a dark version. Use the auto snippet and GitHub shows each visitor the one that matches their theme.
What are spikes and breakouts?
A spike is a burst of stars well above the repo’s usual pace, like a launch or a Hacker News post. A breakout is a jump in pace that lasts a month or more. Both are found and labelled automatically.
Can I swap repos later?
Yes. Remove a repo and add another whenever you like. Each plan can add up to twice its number of charts per day.
What happens if I cancel?
Your charts keep updating until the end of the time you paid for. After that they show a small “paused” card instead of a broken image. Subscribe again and they come back.
