About Gitify
Gitify puts your GitHub notifications in the menu bar or system tray, so you can see new review requests, issue mentions and other activity without keeping a browser tab open on the notifications page.
It is an open-source Electron app available for macOS, Windows and Linux, with a long development history and regular releases managed through release-please. It suits developers who follow many repositories and want a lightweight, always-visible notification list.
