StaleMate is a tiny macOS menu-bar app that watches your GitHub & GitLab pull requests. The icon stays green when the queue is clean, fades yellow when reviews build up, and goes red when things start to rot. Up to 5 independent monitors. Native, sandboxed, $-friendly.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm the maker of StaleMate. The story is dumb but real: every Monday morning I'd open GitHub and find a PR I'd missed reviewing on Friday. It blocked a teammate for 3 days. Nobody was at fault — the information just wasn't visible.
StaleMate solves that by living in your menu bar. The dot is green when nothing needs you, yellow when the queue is growing, red when something has gone stale. You can run up to 5 independent monitors — "Mine awaiting review", "Assigned to me", "Team", whatever you want.
A few things that might matter:
– 100% native SwiftUI, sandboxed, no Electron, no telemetry
– Works with github.com, GitHub Enterprise, gitlab.com, self-hosted GitLab
– On the App Store (Setapp to come)
– macOS 15+
Happy to answer anything — bugs, feature requests, weird edge cases. I'm here all day.
