Why use Beet?

01

Smart PR Prioritization

Beet automatically scores incoming review requests. Teammate PRs and direct review requests float to the top; drafts, stale branches, and already-approved PRs stay out of your way.

02

Always at hand in your menu bar

Check unread counts at a glance from your menu bar. Pop it open to triage quickly, or expand the main view when you're ready for focused reviews.

03

Quiet, battery-aware polling

Polling intervals adapt automatically—speeding up for active PRs and slowing down when you're on battery or hitting rate limits. Alerts are reserved for what matters: broken builds, dropped queues, and direct mentions.

Get set up in two minutes

  1. Download the app

    Grab the latest .dmg and drag Beet into your Applications folder. The build isn't signed yet, so macOS quarantines it and may say it's “damaged and can't be opened.” It isn't damaged. Clear the quarantine flag in Terminal before the first launch: 

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Beet.app

    Do this again after each update you download. If macOS says Beet “cannot be verified,” you can use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway instead. On macOS 15 and later, right-click → Open no longer works for this.

  2. Add your GitHub token

    Generate a classic personal access token with standard read scopes (repo, read:org, read:user, user:email, notifications).

    Your token is stored locally and communicates directly with GitHub. Fine-grained PATs are not supported yet.

  3. Focus on active repos

    Beet automatically monitors repositories you've contributed to recently. Pin important projects or mute noisy ones to keep your feed clean.

Ditch the endless tab-refreshing.
