About this project

GrowthWallpaper is a unique macOS app that changes your desktop wallpaper as GitHub issues are closed. With a customizable theme and no backend required, it visualizes your work progress without track or accounts, creating a dynamic environment that grows as tasks are completed.

GrowthWallpaper is a unique macOS menu bar application designed to transform GitHub progress into a dynamic desktop wallpaper. This innovative tool allows users to visually track their achievements by utilizing their GitHub repository data, specifically focusing on the number of issues closed.

Features

Progress-Based Visuals: Unlike traditional time-based wallpapers, GrowthWallpaper enhances the user experience by reflecting progress through a series of engaging visuals.
Theme Customization: Choose from a variety of themes such as a growing forest, a building structure, or a vibrant sunset, which evolve as you meet your goals. Users can also import custom themes to personalize their experience.
Easy Setup: Simply connect the app to a GitHub repository, set a goal, and watch your wallpaper evolve as you close issues.
Privacy-Centric Design: The application does not require any accounts or backend services, ensuring user data remains secure. GitHub tokens are stored using macOS Keychain, with no tracking or telemetry features implemented.
Configurable Settings: Users can adjust polling intervals, the number of progress steps, and choose between daily or weekly reset options.

Usage

The app functions by:

Defining a specific goal (e.g., closing six issues).
Tracking issues closed with designated labels.
Advancing the wallpaper upon achieving the set milestones.
Resetting at the end of the cycle to start the next round of progress.

Visual Representation

The wallpapers change and grow in complexity as progress is made, which can help maintain motivation and provide a visually appealing reminder of achievements.

Open Source Community

GrowthWallpaper embraces community contributions, allowing users to submit bug fixes, enhance user experience, and share themes. As an open-source project, it fosters collaboration and transparency, aiming to deliver a developer-friendly tool that prioritizes user feedback.
