GitNotifier
GitHub alerts in your menu bar
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Your GitHub notifications now live in the menu bar. See the unread count at a glance, open any notification in one click, and get a heads-up when something new arrives.
GitNotifier keeps your GitHub notifications one click away, right in the menu bar.
A bell in the menu bar shows how many unread notifications are waiting. Click it to see each one — the repository and the pull request, issue, release or commit it's about — and choose one to open it on GitHub.
FEATURES
• Unread count in the menu bar, updated automatically
• Your unread notifications listed in one menu; click one to open it on GitHub
• Open all your notifications on GitHub, or mark them all as read, from the menu
• Optional macOS notifications when something new arrives
• Choose how often to check: every 1, 2, 5 or 15 minutes
• Launch at login, so it's always there
• Mute the count when you need to focus
• Optional Safari extension that shows the same count as a badge on a Safari toolbar button
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
GitNotifier talks only to GitHub. Your personal access token is stored in your Mac's Keychain and is sent only to api.github.com. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
REQUIREMENTS
GitNotifier needs a GitHub classic personal access token with the "notifications" scope. You can create one at github.com/settings/tokens. Requires macOS 27.
