Signal for GitHub

About

UNIFIED PR & WORKFLOW TRACKING — RIGHT IN YOUR SIDEBAR.

Signal for GitHub transforms your browser's native side panel into a dedicated, real-time developer dashboard. Stop constantly switching tabs or drowning in email notifications just to check on your code. Monitor your authored pull requests, incoming review requirements, and CI/CD pipeline statuses concurrently while you work.

Built for engineers who value speed, context preservation, and focus, Signal for GitHub keeps your active development workflows organized and glanceable.

KEY FEATURES

* Native Side Panel Integration: Anchors seamlessly into your browser's side panel framework. Access your complete workflow dashboard with a single click without obscuring your active browser tabs.
* Real-Time Status Aggregation: Leverages GitHub’s optimized GraphQL API to serve instantaneous status updates across pull request lifecycles.
* CI/CD Pipeline Tracking: Monitor commit status rollups and check suites in real-time. Know exactly when your branch passes testing before your peer even opens the review.
* Granular Workflow Filters: Distinct monitoring lanes isolate your authored pull requests, pending peer reviews, and recently merged cycles.
* Tailored Personalization: Fully customizable interface layout including Light, Dark, and System theme synchronizations, dynamic background refresh intervals, compact list modes, and stale item highlights.

SECURITY

Signal for GitHub is built on a local-first, zero-telemetry technical architecture designed to respect developer data isolation:

* Read-Only Protocol: The extension acts strictly as a read-only client. It possesses no functional permissions to modify, write, delete, or inject data into your repositories, issues, or code bases.
* Isolated Local Storage: Following a secure infrastructure sign-in handshake, operational access tokens and UI layout preferences are cached locally inside sandboxed chrome.storage.local parameters.
* Zero Source-Code Access: The extension queries high-level workflow metadata envelopes (titles, review states, check results) only. It NEVER reads, parses, or accesses your proprietary source code files or diff arrays.
* No Tracking, No Telemetry: We deploy zero tracking pixels, analytics scripts, or third-party usage logs. Your development metrics remain completely your own.
