Design Principles

• Menubar is the single entry point and attention anchor
• 30-second rule: core flows should finish within half a minute
• Keep it lightweight: do triage here, deep work in GitHub
• Use-and-go: quick actions in a transient window, not a permanent workspace
• Highlight developer hierarchy: core maintainers vs. casual contributors

Current Capabilities

• Unified Issues/PRs list with quick filters

• Longer-term: activity feeds, lightweight repo kanban, advanced search, AI companion

Requirements

• macOS 15+
