## What it is
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
