It delivers real-time notifications from GitHub Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Server, Gitea (including Forgejo and Codeberg), GitLab (Cloud and Self-Managed), and Bitbucket Cloud. Users can filter notifications to focus on the most important ones, choose whether to show native OS notifications, pick a notification sound, and change the app's appearance.
The homepage describes Gitify as free to use. The directory lists its pricing as unknown. The homepage does not describe how the app stores or handles access credentials for these services, so that should be checked before use.
