RepoBar is a native macOS menu bar app that shows the status of GitHub repositories at a glance, including CI state, issues, pull requests, releases, activity, and rate limits. It also surfaces local checkout state like branch, dirty files, and ahead/behind status for configured repositories.

Use cases

  • monitor CI status of my GitHub repos from the menu bar
  • see open issues and pull request counts without opening browser tabs
  • get notified about new releases of repositories I maintain
  • track local git checkout state alongside remote repo status
  • watch my GitHub API rate limit usage
  • view contribution heatmaps for my repositories
  • manage many repositories across organizations in one menu

When to choose

  • you are a maintainer tracking many GitHub repositories daily
  • you want a native macOS menu bar app instead of browser dashboards
  • you need private repository support via GitHub App or GitHub Enterprise
  • you want local checkout state visible next to remote repo state

When to avoid

  • you are not on macOS 15 or newer
  • you need a cross-platform or Linux/Windows solution
  • you prefer a CLI-only or web-based dashboard
  • you don't use GitHub (e.g., GitLab or Bitbucket)
