Why GitLoom

Everyone mutes the GitHub channel.
GitLoom is the opposite bet.

GitLoom is a Slack-first pull request notification tool that watches your GitHub repos and sends one quiet daily digest: which PRs are stuck, what shipped, and what your team did this week. This page is the story of why we built it that way.

You know the ritual. New team, new workspace, and someone installs the official GitHub app for Slack. The intention is good: everyone should see what happens in the repos.

It works for about a day. Then come the pushes. The branch creations, the CI runs, the review comments, the bot commits. The channel becomes a firehose nobody can read, so everybody does the only sensible thing left. They mute it.

That mute button is where the real damage happens. The one notification that mattered scrolled past with the forty that did not, and now nobody is looking:

  • The pull request that was ready on Tuesday and still has no review on Friday.
  • The one that got approved and then never merged.
  • The one quietly sitting on a merge conflict.
  • The one whose CI has been red since yesterday, with nobody looking.
  • The two-line fix everyone forgot existed.

Nobody ignored those PRs on purpose. They stopped looking because looking stopped being worth it. And we do not think the fix is smarter per-event pings. Every ping is an interrupt, and interrupts get muted.

So we made the opposite bet. GitLoom watches your GitHub repos and sends one quiet daily digest: which PRs are stuck, what shipped, and what your team did this week.

It speaks only when something is stuck. If nothing changed, it stays silent. Repeat reminders are batched so the channel stays readable. And for the PRs still in flight, one Live PR Card per pull request updates in place as it moves through review, CI, and merge: human events always surface, flapping CI does not. One quiet digest, not forty notifications.

We are a small team building for small teams: engineering leads and founders who want to know what is stuck without living inside GitHub. A tool that respects your attention is the only kind you will never mute.

If you've ever muted that channel, GitLoom is for you.

See how the quiet GitHub Slack integration works, or start with the digest itself: stuck PR alerts, everything the muted channel misses.

You can keep the channel muted.

GitLoom will speak up only when a pull request actually needs you.
