Questions, answered.

What is Fork it?

Fork it is a free app that turns GitHub repository discovery into a swipeable feed — like Tinder or TikTok, but for open-source projects. You swipe through repos one card at a time, and a right swipe stars the repo on your real GitHub account. It runs on Android, iPhone, and the web.

Is Fork it free?

Yes. Fork it is completely free — no subscription, no ads, and no paywall. You sign in with your GitHub account and start swiping.

Does swiping right really star the repo on GitHub?

Yes. A right swipe (“Fork it!”) stars the repository on your actual GitHub account instantly — there is no separate shadow list. The star appears in your GitHub Stars like any other.

What GitHub permissions does Fork it need?

Fork it uses GitHub OAuth with the minimal public_repo scope — just enough to star public repositories on your behalf. It never requests write access to your code or private data, and the OAuth client secret stays server-side.

How do I install Fork it on my iPhone?

On iPhone, Fork it is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — no App Store needed. Open app.forkit.tech in Safari, tap the Share button, then choose “Add to Home Screen.” It runs fullscreen like a native app.

Is Fork it available on Android?

Yes. Android is the primary platform — download the APK from forkit.tech. Fork it also runs in any modern browser at app.forkit.tech.

How does the feed decide what to show me?

You pick your languages and topics during onboarding, so the very first card already fits your stack. After that, every swipe trains a personal ranker that tilts the deck toward the repos you are most likely to star.

It's free. Get it on Android, or add it to your iPhone home screen — no App Store needed.
