Overview
StaleMate PR is a native macOS menu-bar utility that tracks GitHub and GitLab pull requests in real time. It uses a color-coded traffic light system that shifts from green to yellow and red as review queues grow or stall. Supporting up to five independent monitors, it eliminates context-switching by surfacing critical reviews directly in the menu bar. Designed to be lightweight and private, it operates fully sandboxed without telemetry or server tracking.

Founder story
StaleMate PR was created by solo developer Camille Chambefort and launched in early 2026. Tired of missing pull requests over the weekend that accidentally blocked teammates for days, the creator built a lightweight macOS utility to make pending code reviews glanceable without constant context switching.
