Connecting GitHub, once, on the web
Sign in through the provider. No key is typed in anywhere.
The prompt asks for exactly this much:
- Read your repositories, public and private
- GitHub grants this as full repository access. Notch Metrics only reads.
- Read your name and avatar
Your GitHub credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls GitHub and hands your Mac a normalised number, so the Mac app never holds the credential. Remove the integration and the encrypted key is deleted with it.

Questions
- What GitHub numbers can Notch Metrics show?
- Notch Metrics reports 6 GitHub numbers: stars, forks, open issues, open pull requests, ci runs and followers. Each one is a widget you place in the MacBook notch, sized from a single square up to the full width.
- How do you connect GitHub to Notch Metrics?
- Sign in to notchmetrics.com, choose GitHub and approve the prompt. Nothing is typed in, and every Mac on your account picks the connection up.
- Does the Notch Metrics Mac app hold my GitHub key?
- No. Our server calls GitHub and hands your Mac a normalised number. Your GitHub credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider, so a row copied anywhere else does not decrypt.
- What does GitHub in the notch cost?
- Every connector is included, with no per-integration charge. Notch Metrics is $9 a month or $49 a year, after a seven-day trial that needs no card. GitHub counts as one of the connectors on every plan.
