About
Pixela is a REST API service for recording and tracking habits, effort, and other day-series activity data. Users create an account, define a graph, and post dated values through HTTP requests; the service then renders the data as a GitHub-like graph or badge.
The service is aimed at developers who want to automate habit tracking, deployment counts, weight changes, or similar metrics from scripts, CI/CD systems, smart speakers, iOS Shortcuts, or third-party integrations. The landing page describes the core API as free, while the pricing page shows that some supporter-only features are reserved for Patreon members, including logo or icon placement on the Pixela toppage.
- REST API for daily activity tracking
- GitHub-like graph and badge output
- Support for negative values
- Webhook and CI/CD integration use cases
- Patreon-gated supporter features
Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and uncapped, so it has real value even though there is no published dollar price to compare against. The page shows the core service is free forever, with paid support only unlocking sponsor/logo placement and related perks, so the free offering is worth a small but definite amount rather than a metered monthly allowance. A credit card is not indicated for the free service, and there is no usage cap to discount the value.
What's included in the free tier
- Place your logo or icon on Pixela toppage for supporters via Patreon membership level.
- Set separate links for English and Japanese logo or icon placements.
- Set separate tooltip content for English and Japanese logo or icon placements.
- Receive monthly click reports for logo or icon impressions and clicks, trial basis as of December 2021.
