毎日の活動が、あなただけの盆栽に。 Bonsai³は、GitHubの活動から小さなボクセル盆栽を育てるアプリです。連携したアカウントの最近の活動が、枝ぶりや葉の広がりに表れます。 新しい活動を取り込むと、雨が降り、盆栽が育ちます。朝から夜へ移り変わる空の下で、回したり拡大したりして、あなたの木をゆっくり眺めてみてください。 ・もみじ、松、桜、ツツジの4種類と、8種類の鉢から選べます。 ・90日分の活動から育った盆栽をたどり、過去の活動を振り返れます。 ・盆栽をポストカードにして、画像でシェアできます。 ・iPhoneとiPadのホーム画面に、ウィジェットで盆栽を置けます。 まずはサンプルの庭から。サインインなしで試せます。 コントリビューションと盆栽のデータはデバイス内で扱います。広告やトラッキングはありません。Bonsai³がGitHubのパスワードを受け取ることはありません。 Bonsai³は独立したアプリであり、GitHubとの提携や承認関係はありません。
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are Bonsai³'s answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Bonsai³ runs a light set with one background colour (#E4ECEC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #8C6C54, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
