CatLight — a macOS notification hub for developers
CatLight is a free utility built for macOS that consolidates development updates into one place. It functions as an action center that delivers live notifications from version control systems so you don't have to keep checking repositories manually. By connecting to your source hosts, CatLight keeps you aware of changes and activity across projects in real time.
Primary capabilities
- A unified dashboard to watch multiple repositories from a single view
- Ongoing tracking of project and build status so you can spot issues quickly
- Configurable alerts and filters that notify you only about the events you care about
Benefits for your workflow
Using CatLight reduces context switching and minimizes the time spent polling project pages. With targeted notifications and visible status indicators, developers can remain focused on coding while still getting prompt updates when attention is needed. The result is smoother collaboration and fewer surprise regressions.
