A glimpse
is all you need.

Glimpse Bar floats a transparent rail on every web page. Manage your tasks, track plans, and stay on top of your GitHub PR queue — without leaving the tab you're already on. No popups. No new tabs. No context tax.

Why it exists

Your workflow shouldn't live in another tab.

Every "let me just check —" is a context switch. Glimpse Bar puts the things you re-check most behind a single click, on the page you're already reading.

02 / Features
01 — Tasks

Tasks that don't
follow you elsewhere.

Capture tasks, jot plans, and check things off — all stored locally on your machine. No accounts, no sync, no telemetry. Just you and a list that actually disappears when it's done.

  • Quick-add and check-off without leaving the page.
  • Persistent local storage — survives reloads, never leaves your device.
  • Custom groups — organise tasks into named buckets your way.
  • Schedule a plan for a date and let it surface when it matters.
  • Distraction-free. No streaks, no gamification, no nagging.

02 — Reviews

PR queue, on the
page you're already on.

Your review backlog is one peek away. Live CI status, review state, and merge-readiness — without an extra trip to github.com.

  • Pull requests assigned, requested, or authored — at a glance.
  • CI/CD status surfaced inline. Green, red, or pending.
  • Click to jump straight to merge or approve.
  • Real-time change notifications, quietly.

On the way

Soon, in your rail.

Each new app is a quiet addition — never a new window, never a new account if it can be avoided.

Principles
04 / How it behaves

Built to stay
out of the way.

Three constraints we set before writing the first line of code — and haven't broken since.

01

Quiet by default.

The bar fades into the chrome. Adjustable transparency. No badges. No notification dots unless you ask for them.

02

Local first.

Your tasks live on your device. API tokens for GitHub stay in extension storage. No analytics, no servers we own.

03

One motion language.

Every panel slides in over 280–340ms. No springs, no overshoots. Honors prefers-reduced-motion on day one.

Free · no account · your data stays on your device
