Your GitHub notifications,
finally under control.
Telescope uses AI classification to cut through notification noise and surface only the issues and pull requests that genuinely need your attention. Stop drowning in notifications. Start focusing on what matters.
Without Telescope
- Hundreds of notifications every day
- No way to know what actually needs you
- Context switching between tabs and tools
- Important reviews buried under bot noise
- Constant anxiety about missing something
With Telescope
- AI classifies every notification automatically
- Action items surface to the top instantly
- One native app for your entire GitHub workflow
- Bot noise, stale threads filtered silently
- Confidence that nothing slips through
Everything you need to
own your GitHub workflow
Telescope combines AI classification, smart automation, and a native macOS experience into a single, focused tool built for developers and maintainers who live on GitHub.
AI Classification Pipeline
A multi stage analysis pipeline determines whether each issue or PR needs your attention. It evaluates assignment, mentions, review requests, content patterns, and optionally queries a local LLM for ambiguous cases. Everything runs on your machine. Nothing leaves your device.
Smart Prioritization
Every item gets a 0 to 100 priority score based on assignment weight, review urgency, mention context, label signals, activity levels, and staleness. The things that need you most always rise to the top.
PR Readiness Scoring
Pull requests get a merge readiness score factoring in CI health, review status, response rate, and freshness. Know at a glance which PRs are ready to ship and which need work.
Binary Triage
Configure custom yes/no questions like "Is this blocking a release?" or "Does this need a security review?" and Telescope answers them automatically for every item using heuristics or a local LLM.
Automation Workflows
Build rules with conditions and actions like set priority, tag, archive, snooze, and notify. Optionally send items to Apple Reminders or OmniFocus. Your inbox runs on autopilot while you focus on code.
Smart Filters
Create custom sidebar filters using the same powerful condition engine as workflows. Slice your feed by any criteria: repo, label, author, state, draft status, and more.
Flexible Local AI
Choose the LLM that works for you. On macOS Sequoia, run any Ollama model. On macOS Tahoe and later, use Apple Foundation Models for seamless on device intelligence or stick with Ollama. Your AI, your hardware, your choice.
From chaos to clarity
in the background
Sync
Telescope connects to GitHub's GraphQL API and pulls your notifications, assigned issues, review requests, and mentions. Incremental syncs run every five minutes, full syncs once a day.
Analyze
Each item passes through a multi stage AI pipeline: action classification, PR readiness scoring, binary triage, workflow automation, and priority scoring. Everything happens locally on your Mac.
Focus
Your inbox transforms into a prioritized, triage ready feed. Action items float to the top, bot noise fades away, and you always know exactly where to spend your time.
Deep insight into
every issue and PR
See action reasons, PR readiness breakdowns, AI triage signals, review health, and priority scores at a glance. Drill into any item for the full picture.
Made for people who
live on GitHub
Open Source Maintainers
Manage thousands of issues across dozens of repos without losing your mind. Telescope surfaces what needs your attention and automates the rest.
Engineering Leads
Track review requests, team mentions, and cross repo activity from one dashboard. Know your velocity, backlog, and predicted completion dates.
IC Developers
Stop context switching between browser tabs. Get a native, keyboard driven macOS experience that keeps you in flow while staying responsive to your team.
Native. Private.
Blazing fast.
Telescope is built from the ground up with SwiftUI and SwiftData as a native macOS citizen. It talks to GitHub's GraphQL API, persists data locally with SQLite, and runs AI analysis entirely on your machine through Ollama or Apple Foundation Models. No cloud services. No telemetry. No data ever leaves your Mac.
All AI classification and triage runs on your machine. Zero data sent to external services.
Incremental syncs every 5 minutes with full daily refreshes. Always up to date without lifting a finger.
Built with SwiftUI. Menu bar access, keyboard shortcuts, system notifications, and native theming.
Weekly and monthly velocity charts, resolution time averages, and backlog burndown predictions.
