Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native macOS menu bar app that surveys local Git repositories for uncommitted changes, unpushed commits, detached HEAD states, conflicts, and stale branches.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.

For: Developers managing many local Git repositories
Worth noticing: The site reports 96 repositories scanned in 0.9 seconds on an M-series Mac.

Field notes

The app presents repository state in a menu bar popover rather than asking developers to inspect folders one at a time. Its documented inspection path reads Git’s index, refs, HEAD, and pack files directly, and the site says scanning occurs at launch or on demand rather than through a closed-popover polling loop. A Homebrew cask is provided, and the license covers up to three Macs.
