GitBar 2.0 upgrades menubar PRs

GitBar is a macOS menubar app for tracking pull requests and issues across GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. Version 2.0 adds status badges, CI indicators, and a compact view to keep review work one click away.

// ANALYSIS

This is the kind of workflow glue that only looks small until you use it daily; GitBar is betting that shaving context switches beats adding yet another full-blown code review surface.

–Cross-provider support is the main hook: GitHub, GitLab cloud or self-hosted, and Azure DevOps all live in one place.
–The 2.0 update leans into glanceability with approved/draft/conflict badges, CI status on cards, and a compact layout for dense queues.
–It focuses on the reviewer’s daily routine: Mine, Review, and All tabs, hidden PRs, notifications, and launch-at-login.
–The product is more about reducing friction than replacing web-based review flows, which makes it practical for teams already embedded in multiple Git hosts.
