28to3.me sells Actionscope

These workflows ate the minutes.

Private repos with macOS or a wide Windows matrix get surprise Actions bills. The invoice is a lump sum. A 12-second job still burns a full minute. macOS can cost 10× Linux. The free Action writes a per-run Job Summary. $49 on Stripe is a booking fee for a human deliverable — not a software seat.

What $49 books

These workflows, jobs, and OSes ate the minutes. Here’s what to change.
  • A Minute Teardown — one GitHub organization, one week, one written artifact.
  • Stripe $49 is the booking fee for that human review, not a software seat.
  • For private repos with macOS or a wide Windows matrix — not Linux-only CI, not enterprise Billing API shops.

Public site for 28to3.me. No login. Pin Sofa-Loaf/actionscope@v0.1.3. Also: Command Center, Desk Lab, SiteDoc, HEIC Save As, Billshot, Afterglow, and Soph* Debloat.

Products from 28to3.me

Actionscope first. Afterglow and Soph* Debloat beside it.

28to3.me is the public product surface for Sofa-Loaf ships. Same seller. Four products. Afterglow is free — GPS pin, ~50ft / 15m listen, residue ranked by plays, never a place rating. SophPDF Debloat and Soph Explorer Debloat are the same Soph* Debloat family.

  • Free — no Stripe, no seat

Web Apps

Client-side tools. No login. No backend.

Static HTML on this Pages site. SiteDoc names each site photo for the device, pins it on a floor plan you supply, and keeps the uplink on a device sheet — in this browser, nothing uploaded. Command Center is a clipboard command palette for MSP techs — tabs, placeholders, copy into SSH/RDP/iLO, lists scroll inside the window, never remote execution. Desk Lab is an MSP call sheet for Dell desks — picker, labeled ports, playbooks you read aloud. HEIC Save As turns iPhone photos into JPG or PNG in this browser. Billshot explains a pasted usage report — rounding, OS multipliers, what drove the bill. The calculator is an estimate — not a GitHub invoice, not the $19 App. The Minute Cheat Sheet is a $0.99 one-page PDF. The Actions Bill Memo is a $0.99 manager one-pager — paste or screenshot framing, then blanks for org, week, and what to cut. The canvas is a meeting scratch stage. Jass Boxing is a demo timer, not a boxing product. Naughty or Nice Scanner is a free Christmas thumbprint toy for kids — press and hold, offline after the first load, nothing collected. Lie Detector Scanner is a free pretend truth toy for kids — hold the thumb pad, cartoon zap only, offline after the first load, nothing collected. Afterglow has a web prototype for client meetings.

Jass Boxing

Round timer · voice + bell

1–12 rounds. 1–3 minute work. Rest, then next bell. Phone-browser timer. Not a boxing product.

  • Voice: round number, 30s, 10s, rest, done
  • Bell on start, warnings, and end

The problem

macOS and Windows minutes are easy to run up and hard to explain.

Private-repo teams find out after finance asks, or after a macOS job or a wide Windows matrix quietly eats the plan’s included minutes. There is no built-in “which job did this?” view at the moment a run finishes.

1 min Minimum charge, even for a 12-second job
2× Windows multiplier vs Linux included minutes
10× macOS multiplier vs Linux included minutes

Who it’s for

Private repos with macOS or a wide Windows matrix.

Surprise bills, not Linux-only

macOS jobs or a wide Windows matrix on private repos — retries, a quota reset, and a bill nobody can explain. If you are Linux-only, or you already run GitHub’s enterprise Billing API, this is not for you.

Free Action, this run

Add one step. Actionscope writes a Job Summary with wall time, rounded minutes, runner SKU, list-price $, and included-minute burn. No extra auth beyond GITHUB_TOKEN.

Human artifact, then the App

$49 books a Minute Teardown — one week and one written review of one org. History, budgets, and org roll-up ship later as $19 App seats — not a paid Marketplace Action.

Install

One step. Free forever as an Action.

Add it as a last step so other jobs have finished, or accept a partial estimate for jobs still running.

Pin the Action

Use Sofa-Loaf/actionscope@v0.1.3. The nested path actionscope/action@v0.1.3 still works if you already pinned it.

2

Let it read jobs

The default token is enough. If permissions are locked down, grant actions: read so the Jobs API can be called.

3

Read the summary

Wall time, rounded minutes, runner SKU, $ at GitHub list price, and included-minute burn — paste-next-to-usage-report, not an invoice.
