Built so far

Already throwing punches.

Every screenshot here is the real app, rendered headless by its UI tests against Contoso: a fake org with fake people and fake PRs. It is not downloadable yet; the roadmap below says when.

  1. Counter

    Today + smart nudges

    A morning card with the reviews waiting on you, your PRs that need action and work items gathering dust. Nudges for stale reviews, failed builds, merge conflicts and wait-for-author votes are computed locally and capped at 3 a day. adoken never messages anyone for you.

    The Today view: a “Your day” card with 10 reviews waiting and 5 PRs needing action, above nudges for merge conflicts, a failed build, wait-for-author votes and reviews requested days ago.

  2. BlockS

    Inbox on your terms

    One row per PR, work item or pipeline run. Your own activity, duplicates and still-green builds are filtered out. Triage from the keyboard: done, snooze until tomorrow 09:00 or until it changes, mute a noisy repo. Quiet hours hold the banners and hand you one summary when you are back.

    The Inbox with source and priority filter chips and the snooze menu open: 1 hour, 3 hours, tomorrow 09:00, Monday 09:00, until it changes.

  3. Combo⌘⇧D

    PR review, side by side

    Diffs computed locally from the base and target files: side by side on wide windows, unified below, word-level highlights, unchanged lines folded. Comment threads sit inline at their lines and follow the code across pushes. Read-only for now; replies and votes land in v0.0.5.

    Pull request review: the “To review” list, a changed-files tree with viewed checkboxes, and a side-by-side diff of a TypeScript file with an inline comment thread.

  4. Special⌘P

    Cmd+P over 100k items

    One fuzzy, typo-tolerant search over PRs, work items, pipeline runs, people and repos. Scopes like ! and #, filters like author:@me and type:bug, and a pasted dev.azure.com link jumps straight to it. The index is local, so answers come back in milliseconds.

    The Cmd+P palette scoped to pull requests with the query “!retry”, listing 26 matching PRs with repo, branch, votes and age.

  5. Style

    Four themes

    Dojo Night, Dojo Day, Arcade and Sakura ship built in. Same inbox, four moods.

    • The Inbox in the Dojo Night theme.

  6. Taunt

    Bring a background

    Three built-in backgrounds or your own image, blurred and dimmed until text still passes contrast. Yes, that anime wallpaper.

    The app shell with the built-in Lantern background: warm orange and yellow glows behind the Search view.

Also in the cabinet

  • Onboarding in a minute: detects the az CLI, creates an org-scoped PAT with exactly the scopes it needs, or takes one you paste.
  • Your PAT lives in the macOS Keychain. Never in the database, never in logs.
  • Keyboard first: j / k to move, one key to triage, and the inbox actions are in Cmd+P too.

Stage select

What’s coming.

  1. v0.0.1Clear

    Skeleton

    A native window under budget, four themes, Cmd+P and the perf harness everything is measured against.

  2. v0.0.2Clear

    Connect

    A real org connected in a minute with a least-privilege, org-scoped PAT that never leaves the Keychain.

  3. v0.0.4

    Dogfood

    Cmd+P and the inbox on a real org, all day, instead of ADO web hubs and notification email.

  4. v0.0.5

    Review + nudges

    Reviews happen in adoken: line comments, votes and complete, with nudges on real data. A 300-file PR scrolls at 60 fps.

  5. v0.1

    Public beta

    The download. A signed macOS build for your daily ADO loop, with backgrounds and opt-in sounds finished.

  6. v0.2

    Depth

    “Changes since my last review”, a global summon hotkey, multi-line comments with suggestions, and az sign-in with no PAT at all.

  7. v0.3

    Windows

    Same app, same budgets, on Windows 11.

Targets for a solo builder, not promises. If a stage slips, the date moves; the scope doesn’t quietly shrink.

Insert coin

Built in public.
