GitBoard is a native macOS application designed specifically for GitHub Projects that operates from the menu bar. Its main purpose is to provide developers with quick and convenient access to their GitHub Projects kanban boards without needing to switch between applications or browser tabs.

The app offers comprehensive kanban board functionality including the ability to view your full kanban board, filter projects by status categories (Todo, In Progress, Done), search through issues by title, number, or assigned users, and create new issues inline using quick commands. Additional features include the ability to assign users to issues through right-click functionality, drag and drop capabilities between columns, and status notifications that alert users when issues move between columns.

GitBoard works by integrating directly with GitHub Projects through GitHub CLI authentication, eliminating the need for separate API tokens. The app provides both menu bar access for quick views and a full kanban window interface for comprehensive project management.

The primary benefit is maintaining workflow efficiency by allowing developers to manage GitHub Projects without context switching. Use cases include tracking project progress, managing issue assignments, and quickly creating or updating tasks while staying focused on development work.

Target users are macOS developers who use GitHub Projects for project management. The app requires macOS 14+ and GitHub CLI, is open source, and provides native macOS integration.
