Commit Grid

Set the background in motion.

A grid that breathes. CommitGrid drops a soft, animated grid of tinted cells behind any section — an ambient background inspired by the GitHub commit graph, built for atmosphere rather than data. Set a single color and it generates the whole tonal scale for you; pick a motion pattern and it quietly comes alive. Eight motion patterns Every pattern is a different way for the cells to light up — choose the mood that fits your page: Flat — a still, evenly tinted grid (great as a quiet texture) Twinkle — cells fade in and out at their own random rhythm Ripple — concentric rings pulse out from a point you choose Wave — a band of brightness sweeps across the grid Scan — a single line sweeps through like a radar Rain — streaks fall column by column Spiral — a slow rotating pinwheel Noise — an organic, drifting cloud of activity Tune it to your brand Simple controls, no code: base color (with opacity), cell size, gap, corner radius, animation speed, intensity, and max opacity. Set the speed to 0 to freeze any pattern into a static background, and choose an origin or direction for the directional patterns. Fast and considerate Rendered to a single canvas — not hundreds of DOM nodes — so it stays smooth even full-screen, on Safari included. It caps its own frame rate, pauses when scrolled off-screen, and respects prefers-reduced-motion by rendering a static grid for visitors who opt out of motion. Drop it in as a full-bleed background and put your content on top. Perfect for Hero sections, headers, footers, CTAs, login screens, and empty states — anywhere a page needs a little life without stealing focus.
