Octobox

Untangle your GitHub notifications with filters, triage and live status.

About Octobox

Octobox gives developers a focused inbox for GitHub notifications instead of a flood of email. It pulls in issues, pull requests and CI status, especially with its GitHub app installed, so users can search, filter and triage what actually needs attention. The hosted service is free for open-source work, paid plans unlock enhanced notifications for private repositories, and the open-source code can also be self-hosted.
