← Applications

• Paint, see the result. Your real contribution graph is shown in full color, with a preview of how it will look after your drawing.
• Text and templates. Stamp words and symbols, or start from Heart, HELLO, Wave or Stars.
• Safe by default. Busy days are skipped, every send is reviewed first, and the last send can be undone.
• Sign in in seconds. One-click GitHub sign-in; your login stays on your computer.

Also: Windows .msi, Linux .AppImage, .rpm. Builds are not code-signed; see Installing below.

Features

Your real graph

Existing contributions are shown in full color; squares you add get a dot, and Preview result shows roughly how the graph will look afterwards.

Skip busy days

On by default: no commits are added on days that already have contributions, so the drawing stays clean.

Painting

Four shades and an eraser, each showing how many commits it adds. Undo and redo, move the drawing, bigger squares, keyboard drawing and a scroll mode for touch screens.

Text and templates

Stamp A–Z, 0–9 and common symbols, or start from Heart, HELLO, Wave or Stars.

Any year

Draw on the past year or any year you have been active in.

Repository

Pick a repository in the app, or create a dedicated commit-canvas-art repository with one click.

Review and undo

Check the account, repository, branch, number of commits and dates before sending. Undo last send puts the branch back as long as nothing else was pushed since.

Designs and scripts

Save and open designs as files, or export a Bash or PowerShell script to create the commits yourself.

How it works

Each painted day becomes empty commits dated at local noon, authored with your GitHub noreply address, pushed once as a fast-forward. Nothing is force-pushed unless you undo your last send.

Privacy

Your GitHub login stays on your computer and is only sent to GitHub. Sign out removes it.

Please be fair

Decorative commits are not work: draw for fun, in a repository you own, and don't present it as real activity.

Installing

Windows

Run the setup .exe (or the .msi). If SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway.

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag the app to Applications. If macOS reports it as damaged, run xattr -cr "/Applications/Commit Canvas.app" once.

Linux

Install the .deb or .rpm, or make the .AppImage executable and run it.
