Octoscope is a native terminal dashboard that pulls your GitHub profile, activity, repo health, and network from the GraphQL API — and keeps everything auto-refreshed every 60 seconds. See PRs, issues, commits, languages, stars, followers, and org memberships at a glance. Works for your own account or any public profile: octoscope torvalds. Built in Go with BubbleTea. Open source, MIT-licensed. Install via Homebrew or go install.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Giovambattista, and I built Octoscope because I kept switching between terminal and browser just to check basic GitHub stats — my PRs, open issues, stars, which repos needed attention.
I wanted a single view that stayed open in a tmux pane and updated itself. So I built a TUI in Go with BubbleTea that pulls everything from the GitHub GraphQL API and auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.
A few things I'm proud of:
• Works for any profile — run octoscope torvalds or octoscope dhh to see anyone's public stats
• Zero config — reads your existing GITHUB_TOKEN or gh auth token
• Real data, no scraping — everything comes from the official API
It's open source (MIT), installs in one line via Homebrew, and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
I'd love your feedback — what would you want to see on a GitHub dashboard that you can't easily find today? 🙏
60 second refresh on the GraphQL API gets tight fast once you're watching an active profile, especially with the 2000 points per minute secondary limit kicking in alongside the 5000 per hour primary. Are multiple octoscope windows pooling requests across a single token, or does each panel hit the API on its own schedule, and does the dashboard surface anything when the token gets throttled so the data doesn't go silently stale?
