RepoLens
Explore Dev Profiles in Safari
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Instantly look up any developer's repo. View profiles, explore repos, compare users side by side, and track contributions — all from your Safari toolbar.
RepoLens is a powerful Safari extension that lets you explore dev profiles, repositories, and developer activity — all without leaving your browser.
Search Any User
Type any username to instantly view their complete profile. See their avatar, display name, bio, location, company, website, and social links including Twitter/X and email. Get a quick snapshot of their public repos, followers, following count, and gists — all in a beautifully designed popup panel.
Explore Repositories
Switch to the Repos tab to search millions of repositories by name, topic, or keyword. Each result shows the repository name, description, primary language, star count, fork count, and last updated date. Click any repository to open it directly in Safari.
Compare Developers Side by Side
Curious how two developers stack up? The Compare tab lets you enter two usernames and see a detailed breakdown. A comparison table highlights the leader in each category — repos, followers, following, and gists — with color-coded indicators. Full profile cards for both users appear below for deeper context.
Contribution Activity
Every profile includes a contribution heatmap showing the last 30 weeks of activity. Hover over any cell to see exact contribution counts by date. A total count summarizes the past year of activity at a glance.
Export Profile Summaries
Need to share a developer's profile? Click the export button to copy a complete Markdown summary to your clipboard. The export includes the user's name, bio, metadata, stats, and top repositories — ready to paste into documents, messages, or notes.
Search History
Your recent lookups are saved automatically and appear when you focus the search bar. Quickly revisit past profile and repository searches without retyping. Clear your history anytime with a single tap.
Customizable API Access
GitLookup works out of the box with no configuration required. For power users, the Settings panel lets you add a Personal Access Token to increase your API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour. Token validation is built in — the extension verifies your token before saving it.
Monitor Your API Usage
A built-in rate limit monitor shows your current Core and Search API usage with color-coded progress bars. See exactly how many requests remain and when limits reset. Available from the bar chart icon in the header.
Built-In User Guide
New to the extension? A step-by-step onboarding guide walks you through every feature on first launch. Access it anytime from the help button in the header.
Designed for macOS
RepoLens follows Apple's Human Interface Guidelines with a clean, minimal design. It features full dark mode support that automatically matches your system preferences, smooth animations, and SF Pro typography. The compact 400px popup fits naturally alongside Safari's toolbar.
Privacy First
RepoLens communicates only with the official API and an open-source contributions service. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts required. Your optional token is stored locally on your device using Safari's secure extension storage. No data ever leaves your machine.
