Gitify is a free, open-source cross-platform desktop application that shows Git forge notifications (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Gitea/Forgejo/Codeberg, Bitbucket Cloud) directly in your menu bar/tray. Built with Electron, React, and TypeScript, it supports multiple accounts, filtering, themes, and native OS notifications.

Use cases

  • get github notifications in my menu bar
  • unified notifications for multiple git forges
  • manage github enterprise and github.com notifications in one app
  • track codeberg and gitea notifications on desktop
  • filter git notifications to cut through noise
  • desktop app for bitbucket cloud notifications
  • multiple github accounts notification manager

When to choose

  • you want real-time Git notifications without keeping a browser tab open
  • you use multiple forges or multiple accounts and want a unified inbox
  • you need a native-feeling menubar app on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • you want a free, open-source alternative with customizable filters and themes

When to avoid

  • you need notifications from unsupported forges like Azure DevOps or Gerrit (planned only)
  • you want full mark-done/unsubscribe actions on Gitea, Forgejo, Codeberg, or Bitbucket (limited support)
  • you prefer a CLI or web-based notification tool rather than a desktop app
