How it works

From notification noise to a clear signal

GitHub mixes releases with reviews, comments and issues. Releases keeps only what shipped and lays it out like an inbox you actually want to open.

Watch on GitHub

Subscribe to the releases of any repository, as you already do. Releases reads your notifications.

Collect in one inbox

Only releases make it in, newest first, one entry per repository, with what changed since you last looked.

Triage in seconds

Read, snooze, hide a component or unsubscribe with a click, a swipe or a key. GitHub stays in sync.

Features

Everything a release deserves, nothing it doesn't

Built for people who follow dozens of projects: fast to scan, honest about what changed, and quick to clear.

What's new, all in one place

Missed three releases of a project? What's new combines the notes of every unread release, so nothing between your last visit and today slips through.

Breaking changes stand out

Releases that mention breaking changes, or are a new major version, get a badge.

v3.0.0 Breaking
web@2.4.0 Breaking
v2.1.0-beta.2Pre-release
v2.0.9Bug fixes

Snooze for later

Put a release aside; it comes back to the inbox with a reminder.

Hide the parts you don't use

Follow a monorepo but not all of it: hide a component such as web@* without unsubscribing. The pattern is suggested, the preview shows what goes.

Notified where you are

Every repository you watch notifies you; mute one, or only hear about breaking changes.

AI summaries on request

Summarise a release, or everything new in a repository, with Claude. Cached, and only when you ask.

Summary

Swipe to triage on your phone

Swipe left to mark as read, right to unsubscribe. Every action, swiped, clicked or typed, offers Undo, and GitHub only hears about it once the toast is gone.

Live updates

Polls GitHub every minute; open tabs update instantly.

Synced read state

Marking as read also marks the thread on github.com.

Search

Across repositories, release names, tags and notes.

Star counts

Next to every repository, refreshed daily.

Pre-releases your way

Like other releases, quiet, or out of sight.

Release files

Download assets, with the file for your device first.

Installable

A web app for phones, with the inbox count on its icon.

Read as you go

Optionally mark a release read when you move on.

Desktop app

Your inbox, one click away on every desktop

The app for Windows, macOS and Linux opens your server's inbox in its own window and brings its notifications to your desktop, without a browser tab left open.

Lives in the tray: Close the window and Releases keeps running; a dot on the tray icon says the inbox has entries.
Notifications with buttons: Mark as read, snooze until tomorrow or mute the repository, right from the notification.
Starts at login: Optional: it starts hidden in the tray, so nothing slips by after a restart.
Light and native: A few megabytes, built with Tauri on the system's web view. No bundled browser.

Self-host

Your server, your data

Releases runs as a single process with SQLite next to it. It talks to GitHub with your token and to nobody else unless you set it up.

A classic GitHub token with the notifications and repo scopes
A small Linux server, or any machine with Python and Node.js
Optional: VAPID keys, ntfy, Telegram or an Anthropic key

# An outline for Ubuntu 24.04; the guide has every step$ sudo git clone https://github.com/Endogen/release-inbox /opt/ghr$ cd /opt/ghr/backend && sudo uv sync --frozen --no-dev$ cd /opt/ghr/frontend && sudo npm ci && sudo npm run build# Settings: a GitHub token, your sign-in and secrets (see the guide)$ sudo install -d -m 0750 /etc/ghr$ sudo install -m 0640 /opt/ghr/deploy/ghr.env.example /etc/ghr/ghr.env$ sudo cp /opt/ghr/deploy/ghr.service /etc/systemd/system/$ sudo systemctl enable --now ghr

Then put nginx with TLS in front of it; the guide has the site configuration and a daily backup.
