Hey, this looks cool but I don't want grant write permission to my public and private repos just to get a daily status update. Is it possible to ask for read-o

  +1 to this sentiment... I want to use this service, but it requires I give it way too many permissions. I actually couldn't click "authorize" when I looked at how much access it wanted (probably an oversight, and nothing nefarious). Hopefully it gets fixed, because this is sweet. I'd happily pay $20-$50 a month for my team to get an overview of github activity for our organization.

    Yea I wish it was possible. The read/write repo permission is the only way I've found to be able to list all of the private repositories in an org. There's a few other threads in these comments that cover the specifics a little bit better but the gist is that GitHub has pretty coarse grained permissions unfortunately.

  +1 - I will never use this with these kinds of permissions.

  Looks like this has been fixed. I've just signed up and it was only asking for read permissions.

    If I revoke the application from github and sign up again I am asked for write permissions to private repos still :(
