Three GitHub accounts. One number to watch.
Side project on your personal account, day job on the company org, a contractor seat on a client's enterprise instance. GitHub assumes one identity per person — so notifications for your other accounts land in an inbox you only remember at midnight.
What people try today (and why it fails)
- Two browsers. Two badges that vanish whenever you close a window, plus constant profile switching.
- Email filters. Works until a filter misfiles a direct review request under "promotions".
- Checking manually. The honest method — and the reason things slip.
One menu bar, every account
- Create one personal access token per account (scope guide here).
- Add each token as a source in DevNotify.
- Every unread item from every account now rolls up into a single menu-bar count — hover to see which account and repo it belongs to, click to jump straight to it.
Built for contractors and maintainers
If you maintain OSS while working full-time, this is the difference between answering a bug report in ten minutes versus tomorrow. The count is always on screen; the context switch is one click, not one logout.
Tokens stay in your macOS keychain. Nothing syncs anywhere. $19 once, yours forever.
