GitBoard is a native macOS menu bar application designed specifically for interacting with GitHub Projects. Its main purpose is to provide developers with quick and convenient access to their project boards directly from the menu bar, eliminating the need to switch contexts or open a browser.

The application offers several key features including menu bar access for instant board viewing, status filtering capabilities to switch between Todo, In Progress, and Done columns, search functionality for finding issues by title, number, or assignee, quick issue creation using inline commands, user assignment through right-click options, and a full kanban window supporting drag-and-drop functionality between columns.

GitBoard works by integrating with GitHub Projects through the GitHub CLI, requiring no separate API tokens for authentication. The app provides status notifications to keep users informed when issues move between columns, ensuring real-time updates on project progress.

The primary benefit is maintaining workflow efficiency by allowing developers to manage GitHub Projects without leaving their current working environment. This is particularly useful for developers who frequently need to check project status, update task progress, or create new issues while coding.

The target users are macOS developers who use GitHub Projects for project management. The application requires macOS 14+ and GitHub CLI, and it's available as an open-source solution.
