Hey PH 👋 I built PRNotch because I checked GitHub tabs ~40 times a day. Design constraints: read-only (deep work stays in the browser), quiet by default (alerts only on state changes), and honest scope GitHub only, Apple only, macOS 14+. It uses the gh CLI token you already have, stores everything locally, and makes exactly one kind of network call.
Priced at $1 as a pricing experiment I'd love your take on whether that's smarter than free. Ask me anything, I'm here all day.
finally a use for the notch that actually makes sense. seeing ci status and review requests right there without digging through github feels surprisingly efficient.
