# Sunsetting Ridge Sight

August 8, 2026

All good side quests come to an end. As of today, August 8, 2026, Ridge Sight is officially being sunsetted.

## The short version

GitHub shipped it. The thing we built Ridge Sight to be — a single pane of glass for every open pull request across all your repositories — is now baked directly into GitHub's own UI. Their recent updates to the pull request experience deliver a unified, cross-repo PR view with triage, filtering, and review tooling right where your code already lives.

We could pretend our version is still better. It isn't. When the platform you're built on top of absorbs your core feature set, the honest move is to acknowledge it, wave, and step aside gracefully — not to keep charging people for a second dashboard that shows them the same list one OAuth handshake further away.

## Why now

Ridge Sight existed to solve one real, persistent annoyance: jumping between repositories to find out what needed your review. For a long time, GitHub simply didn't offer a good answer to "show me every open PR I care about, ranked by what actually needs attention." So we built one.

GitHub's new pull request UI closes that gap. Cross-repository PR lists, richer filtering, better signals for stale and conflicted PRs — the core of what made Ridge Sight worth opening every morning is now native, faster, and free. There's no version of this story where a third-party wrapper wins that fight, and we'd rather end on our own terms than slowly fade into an unmaintained tab nobody opens.

## What this means for you

• - Uninstall the GitHub App whenever you're ready via your GitHub settings under Applications. Once the service shuts down, it won't be reading anything anyway, but tidy is tidy.
• - Notifications (Slack/Pushover) stop firing today. Your inbox may feel strangely quiet. That's called peace.

## Where to go instead

Honestly? Just use GitHub. The new pull request views cover the day-to-day triage workflow Ridge Sight handled, and the review, merge, and CI signals are all right there without an intermediary. If you leaned on our AI risk summaries, GitHub's Copilot-powered review features cover similar ground now too.

## Thank you

To everyone who signed in, connected their repos, filed bug reports, and paid actual money for Premium: thank you. Building a tool that people fold into their daily routine is the whole point of doing this, and you gave us that. Getting obsoleted because the platform got better isn't a sad ending — it's the problem being solved for everyone, which was the goal all along.

The knowledge base articles in this docs folder will stay put for reference, but consider them historical documents now.

So long, and thanks for all the PRs.
