Description

Want your GitHub README to show off how active your project actually is, commits, pull requests, contributors, without screenshotting a dashboard or manually updating numbers? Repobeats generates a small image that does that automatically, and you just drop it into your README.

Repobeats produces embeddable SVG analytics cards visualizing GitHub repository activity, commits, PRs, issues, contributors, over a selectable time window from 7 to 365 days, installed as a read-only GitHub App with no write access to your repository. It supports public, unlisted, and private repositories, with customizable themes and sizes, and is free to use.

💬 Our review

The short version: Repobeats is a small, free, no-fuss way to add a live activity graphic to your README, nice polish for open-source projects, not a serious analytics tool.

The comparable options are GitHub's own readme-stats project and Shields.io badges, both of which do simpler single-metric badges rather than a full activity chart; Repobeats sits a notch above those visually. It's free and read-only, no write access needed, which keeps the security footprint low. The main limitation is that it's a display and marketing tool for your README, not a real analytics platform. If you need actual reporting, dashboards, or historical trend analysis, this isn't built for that; it's built to look good.
