First release.
GHBar keeps the pull requests and issues other people open on your
repositories in the macOS menu bar, along with the PRs waiting on your review.
Everything GitHub's notification inbox mixes in — comments on your own work,
threads you subscribed to once, CI results — stays out.
What's in it
- Pull requests, issues and review requests in one menu, grouped by kind
- Unread items are green and the count sits in the menu bar; clicking a row
opens it and marks it seen in the same motion - A repository with more than three open items folds into a single row, so one
busy repo can't flood the list - Bots (Dependabot and friends) filtered out by default
- Native notifications when something new arrives
- Failures are shown as rows — an empty list always means "nothing waiting",
never "couldn't check" - One GraphQL request per refresh: 12 API points an hour, 0.24% of the quota
Requirements
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer
- GitHub CLI (
gh), signed in — GHBar borrows the
token it already holds, so there is no second sign-in
Built-in sign-in without gh, and a settings window, are coming next.
