Octobox

Sort and filter GitHub notifications to cut through the noise.

Visit Octobox

Octobox is a tool for managing GitHub notifications, adding an "archived" state so users can mark threads as done. If new activity occurs on an archived thread, issue or pull request, it returns to the inbox. Notifications can be searched and filtered by repository, organisation, type, action, state, CI status and reason, alongside labels, authors and assignees.

A GitHub app can add live issue, pull request and CI status, labels and authors to notifications. Octobox is free for open source projects, with basic notifications for private projects. Enhanced notifications for private repositories are available through paid plans for individuals or organisations, offered either by donation via Open Collective or through a subscription on GitHub Marketplace, with unlimited private and public repositories and collaborators. The Octobox GitHub App must be installed on each repository or organisation to enable paid-access features. Octobox is open source and can also be self-hosted.
