GitIt 1.1

Fixes and polish, mostly for first-time setup.

Download

GitIt.zip for macOS 14 or later. Unzip it, move GitIt to Applications and open it. It's signed and notarized.

Fixed

• Pasting the token works. ⌘V (and the other editing shortcuts) now work in GitIt's settings, so you can paste your token.
• Launch at login no longer shows an error after its entry changes in System Settings, and says when macOS needs you to allow it.

Changed

• Notifications start off. Turning on Show system notifications asks for permission; if notifications are off for GitIt in System Settings, Settings says so, with a button to the right pane.
• Settings waits for a token: the count tiles and Dashboard turn on once one is saved, and a saved token shows as real password bullets.
• Buttons read Install, Enable, Settings without trailing ellipses.

GitIt 1.0

The first release of GitIt: everything on GitHub that's waiting on you, in your menu bar, your notifications and your browser toolbar.

Download

GitIt.zip for macOS 14 or later. Unzip it, move GitIt to Applications and open it. It's signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without warnings, and Safari runs its extension without any extra settings.

What's in it

• 🔔 Native notifications for each new review request, assignment, PR and unread activity
• 📍 Menu bar icon in four styles, with a quick list grouped by why each item needs you
• 🧩 Safari and Chrome extensions with a toolbar badge, a popup, and a dashboard with organization and project filters
• 🔒 Private by design: your token stays in the Keychain, and the extensions never touch the network

Setup

1. Create a classic token with notifications, repo and read:org, and paste it into GitIt's settings.
2. Under Browser Extensions, press Enable for Safari and Install for Chrome. Chrome only loads extensions from outside its Web Store in Developer mode, so GitIt walks you through that one step.
