GitLight

GitLight is a desktop application that delivers real‑time notifications for activity on GitHub and GitLab repositories. It monitors events such as pull requests, issues, commits, and code reviews, and presents them as native system alerts so users can stay informed without constantly checking web interfaces.

The app is built with Tauri and SvelteKit, targeting macOS as its core platform, and offers a Kanban‑style interface for filtering and tracking events. Its open‑source nature allows users to inspect the code, contribute enhancements, and run the software locally without a license fee.

Designed for developers and teams that work with GitHub or GitLab, GitLight aims to improve workflow efficiency by surfacing relevant repository activity directly on the desktop, reducing the need to switch between browser tabs or email clients.
