Features

🧵

Auto-Threading

Each PR gets its own thread. Status updates appear as replies. No channel clutter.

🎯

Smart DM Delays

If you're in the channel, DM waits 65 minutes. Not in the channel? Immediate DM. No spam.

🌅

Daily Reminders

Summary of PRs waiting on you, delivered 8-9am in your local timezone. Start your day informed.

✨

🔄

Auto-Discovery

Repos automatically map to same-named channels. `backend` repo posts to #backend. Zero config.

👥
