Good to know
- Tailored for each source
- Snoozing a Linear item snoozes it in Linear, not just here. Terminal and coding agent items group by session. Dismissing an Apple Mail item marks it read; completing it archives it.
- Groups what belongs together
- Related rows from one source fold together automatically — same Slack channel, same repo, same sender. Select any rows yourself and name them into a topic too.
- Customizable badge counts
- The menu bar can show a total count, a high-signal-only count, a plain dot, or nothing. Every source decides for itself what counts as high signal, and every source can opt out of the badge entirely.
- Not powered by AI
- Don't miss an important notification because your agent didn't catch it. Built for folks who want to see & review everything quickly, themselves.
- Open source
- The code is on GitHub under the MIT licence. Downloading it here gets you a signed, notarized build that keeps itself up to date.
- No server, no accounts
- There's no account to create and no server of mine. Every credential you paste stays in your login keychain, and the sources you connect are read from your machine — the app talks to them directly, and update checks go to GitHub. Nothing else.

I'm Brandon. I'm a product manager, musician, and builder of small tools for people who'd rather not hand their attention to whoever's optimizing for it.
Inbox & Chill was made to help me worry less about all the things sending me notifications and focus a bit more.
Special thanks to Miguel for contributing and everyone who's tried out the beta and shared feedback!
