Three lights. Zero noise.

MRs waiting on your review, plus your own MRs once reviews come in. Each gets exactly one light, and stale MRs stay out of the way.

Review requested

Your move.

Someone asked you to review their MR, and you haven't reviewed or approved it yet.

Reviewed

Worth a look.

Changes requested or comments left on your MR. Go see what they said.

Approved

Ship it.

Your MR is approved with no changes pending. Just hit merge.

No servers. No database.

GitLight talks only to your GitLab. Your merge requests never pass through anyone else's hands, ours included.

Direct

Connects straight to gitlab.com or your self-managed GitLab, even behind a VPN.

Memory only

Merge requests are never written to disk. Your sign-in stays in the macOS Keychain.

Untracked

No account to create. No analytics, no ads, nothing phoning home.

Menu bar native

No Dock icon. No windows. Just three lights.

Always fresh

Checks every 30 seconds and notifies you when a light changes. You pick which lights.

Any GitLab

gitlab.com or your self-managed instance.

Read-only

Sign in with GitLab OAuth. GitLight can look, but never touch your projects.

Stop checking.
Start glancing.
