Use the table as a quick chooser. The goal is not to replace every notification setting; it is to pick the first terminal workflow that reduces the noise in front of you.

Starter Pack

Inspect the workflow-specific install bundle, then install only the extensions that match your workflow. Do not pipe install bundles directly into a shell.

First Picks

notify Notification visibility Developers who want notification awareness without the browser. gh extension install meiji163/gh-notify
not Rule-based notification handling Users who need filtering and rule-based notification handling. gh extension install nobe4/gh-not
gonest Phantom notification cleanup Users stuck with notifications from deleted or inaccessible repositories. gh extension install emmanuel-ferdman/gh-gonest

Triage Fit

Use a notification-only tool when visibility is enough. Use a broader dashboard when notifications are just one part of a daily PR and issue review queue.

dash PR, issue, and notification triage Maintainers who live in PR, issue, and notification queues. gh extension install dlvhdr/gh-dash
triage Unread issue and PR processing Maintainers who triage from their notification inbox. gh extension install k1LoW/gh-triage
pr-review Review thread follow-up Reviewers who want inline PR review workflows in the terminal. gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review

Freshness Notes

The atlas is a reviewed snapshot, not a live ranking. Recheck upstream repositories before adopting a notification tool, especially when the extension can mark items read, process unread queues, or request notification-related scopes.
