menu-bar · macOS · Windows · Linux

Your GitHub issues, one keystroke away.

A fast, keyboard-friendly menu-bar app that folds GitHub Issues, Projects, and your notifications inbox into a single task list. Open in a tap, gone when you're done — no browser tab, no context switch.

What it does

Everything you check GitHub for — in the menu bar.

One list spans every repo and Projects v2 board you add. Filter by typing. Never reopen that tab again.

One board, every repo

Add a Source — a Projects v2 board or a (repo, search query) pair — and its items flow into one keyboard-navigable list. Status pills, priorities, labels, milestones, and a color stripe per row. Multi-select status filters, source filters, and any custom single-select field.

The notifications inbox that lives where you work

A faithful mirror of github.com/notifications — review requests, mentions, replies, assignments, CI, subscriptions — read and unread, with infinite scroll and search. Filter by category with checkboxes, flip Unread only to cut to the chase, and mark read straight back to GitHub.

The Inbox with its multi-select category filter open

Search across every source

The Issues tab runs your GitHub search queries across repos and drops the results into the same fast list — assigned to you, your review queue, whatever you define. Linked PRs and milestones fill in automatically.

Create without leaving

Spin up a new issue — attach it to a project and set its status, pick the repo, labels, and issue type, assign it to yourself — from a modal that never leaves the menu bar. Then get back to work.

The whole loop, without a single browser tab.

Built for the keyboard

Speed is the whole point.

Nothing here needs the mouse. The window is small on purpose, fast on purpose, and closes the moment you're done.

Open where you are

The window snaps open under the tray icon and paints instantly from disk cache while a fresh sync runs underneath.

Find it by typing

Filter any list by title, label, or #number as you type — no menus, no clicks.
