Live Tabs

Your pull requests,
always live.

Live Tabs keeps your GitHub pull requests up to date in the browser's side panel, so the next review is one glance away, not a search.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store

For Chrome, Brave and other Chromium browsers.

The Live Tabs side panel: the Inbox with pull requests grouped into Needs your review, Your drafts, Waiting for review or checks, Needs action and Ready to merge.

Your inbox, like github.com/pulls

Needs your review, your drafts, waiting for checks, needs action, ready to merge: the Inbox sorts your pull requests the way GitHub does.

CI at a glance

A green, amber or red edge on every row, plus checks, comments and age. Spot what is failing without opening a tab.

Always live

Refreshes every two minutes, when you open a pull request and when you come back to the browser. Dismiss one, and it returns when it gets new commits.

Private by design

No server. Live Tabs talks to GitHub straight from your browser, and your token never leaves it.

A custom Live tab named API pull requests, listing a merged, an approved and a changes-requested pull request.

Make your own Live tabs

Any GitHub search becomes a Live tab: one repository, a team's pull requests, a label. Each row shows whether it is merged, approved or needs changes. Your Live tabs follow you to your other browsers through browser sync.

Set up in a minute

  1. Install Live Tabs and click its toolbar icon.
  2. Sign in with GitHub. Live Tabs copies a short code and opens GitHub to paste it.
  3. Done. Your Inbox fills with your pull requests and stays current.

Questions

Why does GitHub ask for access to my private repositories?

GitHub has no read-only permission for private repositories in OAuth Apps; therepo scope is the only one that reaches them across all your organisations. Live Tabs only reads with it: it never writes, comments or merges.

Where does my data go?

Only to GitHub. There is no Live Tabs server, no analytics and no tracking. Your token stays in your browser. Details are in the privacy policy.

My organisation's private pull requests are missing.

Organisations that restrict OAuth Apps approve Live Tabs once. Ask an organisation owner to approve it, or request access from GitHub's settings.
