## Description

Gitify is a cross-platform desktop application for monitoring GitHub alerts and activity through a native system tray or menu bar interface. It functions as a specialized API client that connects to both GitHub cloud and GitHub Enterprise servers on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The application manages multiple GitHub accounts and servers simultaneously from a single interface. It focuses on reducing notification noise by allowing users to filter alerts and prioritize important updates, moving monitoring away from the web browser.

Users can customize alert behaviors through visual themes, native sounds, and configurable notification settings. The system employs device-flow authentication and periodic API polling to track real-time updates.
