Find the issues that need attention.
Desktop views, personal work, keyboard actions, and mobile capabilities.
Board or Table#
Use Board to move issues between status columns. Switch to Table when you need aligned fields and sorting. Search and item filters carry between layouts. Filter conditions and display options have different jobs: hiding a board column does not hide those items from Table.
On macOS 14.4 and later, multiple Project fields can appear as independent resizable and sortable table columns. macOS 14.0–14.3 supports one selected Project field column.
Plan dates and iterations in Roadmap#
Switch to Roadmap in the Mac workspace. In Roadmap Options, select start and target date or iteration fields. Navigate with Today and Month / Quarter / Year. Drag a bar to move its schedule, or its handles to adjust endpoints. Writes to GitHub begin when you release; Escape cancels the drag. Iterations snap to existing iterations.
Dates are shared with GitHub; field mappings, zoom, and display preferences stay on this Mac. Items without dates remain unscheduled. A shared start/target field moves as a whole. If a multi-field update partly fails, confirmed changes remain; inspect the refreshed result before retrying.
Check delivery progress#
Choose Delivery by Milestone or Parent Issue to see completion and blocked counts. Counts cover issues in that delivery scope within the current Project, ignore other filters, and include hidden board columns. Completion follows GitHub issue state; blocked counts include unfinished issues with unresolved dependencies.
Use the Mac command palette and shortcuts#
Press ⌘K to search commands, switch projects or views, and act on an item. Loaded Items searches project snapshots already loaded or cached for the current account, not all of GitHub. Cached results are marked.
Item shortcuts act on the keyboard-focused item and require the relevant permissions. C works in project content. Text fields keep normal typing behavior. These shortcuts describe the Mac app.
iPhone and iPad capabilities#
The iOS / iPadOS 17+ release is in preparation and is not available on the App Store yet. Four entries organize My Work, Projects, Following, and Settings. iPhone uses status-grouped project lists; iPad provides a split workspace and offers Board when the workspace is at least 680 pt wide. Narrow windows use lists.
Read and edit native item details, dates, and iterations subject to permissions. The mobile version has no menu bar, full multi-column Table, Roadmap timeline, or project notification monitoring. Automation events refresh data in the foreground; the connection stops in the background and reconnects on return. Saved views and display preferences remain on each device.
Find an issue, or start one#
Search by title, issue number, or @username. In the Project or menu bar search box, enter > Issue title and press Return to open a prefilled creation form. Confirm the repository and status, then choose Create Issue. Return alone does not create the issue.
My Work across repositories#
My Work automatically finds open issues assigned to you, your open PRs, and open PRs requesting your review. Items need not belong to any Project, and following Projects is not required. Filter PRs by Ready to Merge, failed checks, draft, or required review. Readiness reflects the last fetched state; GitHub determines final merge availability.
Follow selected Projects#
Follow Projects manually to collect their items, filter across Projects, and change status or archive in batches. Cross-project status changes offer only status names shared by the selected Projects. Following does not change My Work. Desktop project reminders monitor these followed Projects while the app runs.
Keep your preferred view#
Save local work views with filters and display preferences. Saved views and display settings stay on this Mac; they do not modify saved views on GitHub. Search text is temporary.
Stay aware while the app runs#
When enabled, project reminders periodically check Followed Projects while GitStride is running on macOS. They can notify you about status changes, assignment changes, and approaching or overdue dates. This is separate from the hosted PR automation that can run after you quit the app.
