Gitify is a small free app that brings your GitHub notifications to your Mac menu bar. Instead of living in a browser tab or digging through email, you see every unread notification in one tidy list, covering mentions, review requests, issues and pull requests across all the projects you follow. It is made for developers and open source contributors who work with many repositories and want to react quickly without letting GitHub take over their whole screen or their whole day.
