Somebody should keep an eye on your pull requests.

PR Nanny lives in your system tray. It watches the PRs you opened and the reviews waiting on you, shows approval and CI at a glance, and rings only when you ask it to. It never writes to GitHub.

Yours, and what you owe. Your open PRs, reviews requested from you or your teams, and for a minute after they close, the ones that just merged. Group them with Tabs or keep one list with Show all.

Quiet until you say so. Review requests can notify you. For any other PR, switch on its bell. Notifications come from your machine and nothing else.

Read-only, local. PR Nanny never changes subscriptions or sends analytics. Your PR data stays in memory and your token stays in your system keychain.
