Your AI-powered inbox for GitHub activity
Maintainers and engineering teams drown in GitHub notifications — issues, PRs, and discussions scattered across dozens of repos. Triaging takes hours, context-switching kills focus, and review quality varies.
Ossue pulls everything into one local inbox and uses AI to analyze each item — structured triage for issues, code review verdicts for PRs, discussion summaries, and draft responses. All personalized to your review standards, per-project.
- Open-source maintainers — Triage community contributions across projects, get consistent AI-powered code reviews, never miss a discussion that needs your input.
- Engineering teams — Unified inbox for your company's GitHub repos, standardized review criteria across the team, AI-assisted triage of internal issues and PRs.
- GitHub Integration — Connect your repos and sync issues, PRs, and discussions automatically
- AI-Powered Analysis — Quick triage (bug vs feature, priority), structured code review verdicts, breaking changes detection, and draft responses
- Per-Project AI Preferences — Customize focus areas, review strictness, and response tone for each project
- Smart Inbox — Star, filter, and manage items across all your projects in one place
- Notes & Draft Issues — Capture raw ideas, let AI structure them into proper issues (title, body, labels, priority), refine via conversation, and publish directly to GitHub
- Background Sync — Automatic periodic sync keeps your inbox fresh
- Desktop Native — Fast, native macOS/Windows/Linux app with system tray support
- Dark Mode — Full light and dark theme support
- Local-First — SQLite database — your data stays on your machine
Turn rough ideas into structured GitHub issues without leaving your inbox.
- Brain dump — Jot down a raw note or idea in plain text
- AI structuring — AI transforms your note into a well-formed issue with title, body, labels, priority, and area
- Refine — Use follow-up conversation to adjust the AI's output until it's right
- Publish — Submit the finished issue directly to GitHub
Notes move through three states: Draft → Ready → Submitted. You can also select multiple notes for bulk operations — bulk AI structuring, bulk status changes, or bulk deletion.
