✨ New in 0.23.0 · Signals on your phone · always something new in every tab

Your corner of GitHub, for research.

Find friends, collaborate,
away from noise.

myGeeKy reads your CV, your repos and your ORCID & Google Scholar papers, then shows you the people, projects, papers and pulse of your field, in one small glass panel on the edge of your screen. It only suggests. It never acts for you.

Find friends, collaborate, away from noise.

I don't have Facebook. I wanted a real circle in my field: people I can learn from (and who might learn from me), projects where my work would be welcome, and a feel for where the field is moving. GitHub has all of that, but scattered and buried under famous accounts. myGeeKy gathers it in one quiet place, and never acts for you.

What it does

One profile. Your whole field.

Your CV, repos, ORCID/OpenAlex and Google Scholar papers power everything, so it's matched to your research, not a generic popularity list.

👥

People worth following

Researchers who share your work and are likely to follow you back, plus domain experts who rarely follow anyone. Celebrities, mass-followers and dormant accounts are skipped.

Projects that want you

Starter issues, and maintainers who merge outside PRs.

Papers gaining citations fastest, and the code behind them.

It learns what you're into

Every click, follow, star and fork tunes every list, and 🔭 20% always stays open for new territory, so you never end up in a bubble.

Private thank-yous

Thank someone, say you learned from their work or used their tool. Sealed so only they can read it, and no reply is ever expected. 🤝 "Let's collaborate" only shows up if you both choose it.

Rising skills NEW

The tools and methods growing in your field that your profile, CV, papers and repos don't show yet, each with why: "in 5 repos near your work, 2 trending models".

🌱 Grow
🧭

A road map for any skill NEW

Protocols turn a skill into steps (R basics → statistics with R → data analysis → a real project), skip what you already know, and give each step its repos, papers and books. Reviewed ones, or built for any skill by a small model trained for it.

🌱 Grow → Protocols

Free courses, books and tutorials, picked by hand.

New stars, forks and citations of your work.

Verified jobs, funding and conferences: PhD places, postdocs, fellowships, travel grants and meetings, each checked by hand, matched to you on your own device, and gone after its deadline.

🌱 Grow NEW

What to learn next, and a road map to get there

Rising Skills shows what's growing in your field and missing from you. A protocol turns any skill into steps you can follow.

  • A short check skips what you already know: your own repos as evidence, a quiz, or "I can do these"
  • Each step comes with repos (with stars and language), papers (year and citations) and free books
  • Five reviewed protocols to start: R and Python for data analysis, GWAS, Nextflow, single-cell RNA-seq
  • Any other skill: built from GitHub and papers by a small model, on your device. Change it, then share it
  • Wins (new stars, forks, citations) and collaborators whose skills complement yours

🎯 Chances NEW

Verified jobs, funding and conferences

PhD places, postdocs, fellowships, travel grants and meetings in your field, each one checked by hand before it's listed.

  • Matched to you on your own device: nobody learns what you looked at
  • Each one says who can apply and when it closes, and disappears after its deadline
  • 👍 / 👎 teach your model; 🚩 tells the maker one looks fake
Chances: verified jobs matched to you
Research

The papers behind the code, and the people behind the papers

From OpenAlex, matched to your own research topics.

  • Papers in your field gaining citations fastest, measured in citations per month
  • New tools whose code is on GitHub. Click a paper to see its repo and the people working on it
  • A green P on any repo that has a published paper

News

What's new in your field, not everyone's

Fresh items from arXiv, bioRxiv and Hacker News, kept only when they genuinely match your interests: two of your terms, or one exact phrase.

  • Each item says why it's there ("matches gwas, fine mapping")
  • 🔭 items from outside your bubble are marked, on purpose

On your phone

Your world, in orbit

The phone app puts you in the middle: your circle on the inner ring, the world on the outer one. Spin a ring with your thumb, and the planet that locks into the lens opens above it.

  • Live, People, News, Papers, Repos, AI models and Product Hunt launches, each a planet that shows how much it holds
  • New: 🌱 Grow (rising skills and protocols) on your circle, 🎯 Chances (jobs, funding, conferences) on the world
  • Tap something to read and the rings fold away into a slim dock
  • Set up in one scan (⚙ → Connect your phone on the desktop panel), or sign in with GitHub

How it learns

See what myGeeKy knows about you

The Model tab draws it as a living map: you in the middle, your research field around you, what you've been into lately pulsing further out, and today's new territory on the edge.

  • Clicks teach it a little, stars and forks more, follows the most
  • Interests fade with a 30-day half-life, so it follows you as you change
  • A separate model learns who follows you back

Keywords NEW

Keywords that mean something

Add "AI" and myGeeKy also looks for LLMs, deep learning and AI agents. Add "GWAS" and it brings in genomics and statistical genetics. A small model learns what goes together from GitHub's open data.

● Green: it knows

Keywords in the dictionary bring their whole meaning to People, Repos, Research and News, each related idea weighted by how closely it goes with yours.

● Red: not yet

Your own words still work, as plain words. They're passed on, through your beacon or with one click, so the next dictionary learns them.

🔁 It keeps learning

A new dictionary reaches everyone by itself, at most once a week. No server, nothing hidden: the model is a few hundred lines you can read.

Signals

Gratitude, not small talk

🙏📚⭐👀🤝

A quiet way to tell someone their work mattered to you: no server, no text, nothing to moderate, and nothing to answer.

  • Private: each signal is encrypted so only its recipient can read it. Nobody can see who you signalled, or who didn't answer.
  • No reply needed: every signal says so, and you never see "unanswered"
  • 🤝 only if you both want it: "let's collaborate" stays hidden until it's mutual
  • Courteous by design: once a month per person, a few new people a week, a "not taking signals" switch, mute and block

Privacy & trust

Suggest-only, by design

There is no follow, star or fork code in myGeeKy at all. And it uses two GitHub tokens with very different powers. Setup checks what each can actually do, and refuses one that doesn't fit its job. Read the full privacy policy.

🔍 Token 1 · read-only

Reads public profiles, repos and followers.
Repositories
Public repositories
Permissions
Followers: Read-only
Refused if
it can write to any repo, can follow people, or is your Signals token

✍️ Token 2 · Signals (optional)

Writes your mygeeky-beacon repo, and nothing else.
Repositories
Only mygeeky-beacon
Permissions
Contents: Read and write
Refused if
it can't write to the beacon, or is token 1 again

🔑 Keyring only

Tokens live in your OS keyring (Credential Locker, Keychain, Secret Service), never in a file, never logged.

🏠 Your data stays yours

No server, no account, no telemetry. Sync, if you want it, goes to a private GitHub repo you own.

📖 Open source

MIT-licensed and on GitHub, with tests. Read exactly what it does, and change it if you like.

Code signing policy

How Windows releases are signed

Windows releases of myGeeKy will be signed through the SignPath Foundation's free code signing program for open-source projects (application pending). Until approved, releases are unsigned.

Get started

Up and running in two minutes

Install

On Windows, run the installer: Next → Next → Finish. It sets up Python and Git if you don't have them. On Linux and macOS, one line, then the same setup window (or the terminal, if you prefer):

curl -fsSL https://mygeeky.org/install.sh | sh

Or anywhere, with pip:

pip install mygeeky

Tell it who you are

Your GitHub username, plus your CV, ORCID or Scholar profile if you like, and token 1.

mygeeky init
