jandi for Mac

Quick app snapshot

Jandi is a free macOS utility that lives in your menu bar and gives a compact, always-visible view of your GitHub activity. It’s designed to help you quickly see how active you’ve been on GitHub without opening a browser or navigating the website.

Core capabilities

• Tracks other notable GitHub events such as issues and code reviews, keeping a broader picture of your activity.
• Displays pull request activity so you can monitor contributions and collaboration at a glance.
• Shows commit history to help you follow day-to-day coding progress.

How it helps your workflow

Jandi offers a minimal, user-friendly interface so monitoring contributions becomes part of your regular routine rather than an extra task. By surfacing activity in the status bar, it helps you stay motivated and maintain consistency in your open-source or personal projects. It’s a lightweight way to keep visibility into your progress and engagement with the GitHub community.

Who benefits most

• Programmers who want a simple visual reminder of their coding streaks and involvement.
• Hobbyists or open-source contributors who prefer quick access to activity without switching apps.
• Developers focused on productivity and progress tracking without distraction.

Integration and setup

Installation is straightforward and the app integrates directly with the Mac status bar for immediate visibility. Once connected to your GitHub account, Jandi updates automatically and requires minimal configuration.

Recommended alternative

SpotSpot (free) — a comparable menu-bar utility that also surfaces GitHub contributions and offers a slightly different presentation and feature set if you’d like another option to try.
