Read-only GitHub widgets for Google Pixels

Your GitHub repos, at a glance, on your Pixel home screen.

RepoGlance puts the repositories you care about on your home screen: open issue and pull request counts, your pinned repositories by latest push, and a navigator for open issues and pull requests. It is read-only. It never changes anything on GitHub.

Pin what matters

Browse the repositories you share with RepoGlance, filter them by account or organization, search, and sort by most recent push. Pin a repository right from its row. Pinned repositories sort first, and they are the only ones RepoGlance refreshes in the background, about every 30 minutes on a network connection.

Open issues and pull requests

Open a repository to see its open issues and pull requests, or just one kind, and search the loaded rows. A tap opens the full thread in the GitHub app.

Widgets and a Quick Settings tile

A Repository widget shows open issue and pull request counts, with the latest items at the taller size. A Pinned repos widget lists your pinned repositories, most recent push first. A Quick Settings tile shows your latest push. Every value shows how old it is: when GitHub can't be reached you see the last good value with its age, or no data, never a made-up zero.

Try it without an account

Tap Explore with sample data on the first screen to try the catalog, the repository views, the widgets and the Quick Settings tile on made-up repositories, clearly marked SAMPLE. Sample mode makes no network requests.

Read-only. No server. No tracking.

RepoGlance is built to tell the truth about your repositories, and to stay out of the way.

RepoGlance never comments, closes, labels, assigns, merges or re-runs anything on GitHub.
There is no RepoGlance server. The app talks only to GitHub, directly from your phone.
Sign-in is GitHub's own device flow: you enter a short code on GitHub's page, so RepoGlance never sees your password. Your token is encrypted with Android Keystore and used only to reach GitHub.
No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Disconnect GitHub in Settings to delete your session and cached data from the phone.
Unknown is never shown as zero. Stale data is labelled with its age. A rate limit is shown, never hidden behind old numbers.
Not yet: a CI column. This build does not fetch CI state.
