Every Figma mention, Jira issue, GitHub PR review, and Trello card waiting on you — grouped, glanceable, one click away. Start the day without seven browser tabs.
Macs from 2020 onward are Apple Silicon (M1–M4). Not sure which you have?
Connects the tools you already live in
Every morning: open Figma, check Jira, scan GitHub, peek at Trello, lose the thread, repeat.
The things that actually need you are scattered across four tabs and three notification systems. Design Standup Bot pulls them into one place — so you can see your day in five seconds, not five tabs.
No dashboards, no logins, no context switches. Just the things that need you, in one place.
Figma mentions, Jira issues, GitHub PRs, and Trello cards — grouped by source, sorted by recency. One scroll covers what used to be 20 minutes of tab-hopping.
A red dot on the menu bar icon the moment something needs you, plus native notifications with one-click deep linking. Toggle per source.
Right-click any item to mark it read or unread, snooze it until tomorrow, or open it. State persists across restarts and resets at midnight.
Polls every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — your choice. Pauses on sleep, resumes on wake. Never spins your fans.
No board admin required. A universal JQL surfaces what's assigned to you plus mentions you're watching — read-only, always.
VoiceOver labels everywhere, WCAG AA contrast in both modes, Reduce Motion respected, 44pt tap targets. Not an afterthought.
Until the dot turns red, that is.
Grab the DMG, drag it to /Applications, and launch. The teal icon lands in your menu bar.
Tap Figma, Jira, GitHub, or Trello and paste a read-only token. Tokens live in your Keychain — nowhere else.
One click shows everything waiting on you. Read, snooze, or jump straight to the source.
This app has no backend. There is no "us" server. Nothing is collected, sold, or shared — by design, not by promise.
Read the full Privacy Policy or the third-party compliance notes.
Distributed directly, not via the App Store — so the first launch needs one manual "OK".
/Applications.Design Standup Bot is ad-hoc signed (no paid Apple Developer Program), so macOS asks you to confirm once. After that, every launch is silent.
Method A — System Settings (current macOS: Sonoma, Sequoia, Tahoe):
Method B — Terminal (one-line, guaranteed):
Removes the "downloaded from the internet" quarantine flag so it opens with zero prompts:
Click the Apple menu → About This Mac. If you see "Chip: Apple M1/M2/M3/M4", grab the Apple Silicon build. If you see "Processor: Intel", grab the Intel build. Every Mac sold from late 2020 onward is Apple Silicon. Picking the wrong one shows a "can’t be opened" error — just download the other build.
In Figma: click your avatar (top right) → Settings → Security → Personal access tokens → Generate new token. Grant at minimum File content (read-only) and Team library content (read-only). Paste it into Design Standup Bot's Settings.
Open your Figma team in the browser. The URL looks like figma.com/files/team/849554081353053086/… — the long number is your Team ID. Or leave it empty and paste individual file URLs in the "File keys" field — works for any Figma user.
Visit id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens → Create API token. The base URL is your Atlassian subdomain, e.g. https://your-team.atlassian.net. Your email is the one you sign in to Atlassian with.
No. The app uses a JQL that works for any Jira user: assignee = currentUser() OR (watcher = currentUser() AND updated >= -7d). No board membership or admin permissions required.
On GitHub: avatar → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) → Generate new token. Grant the repo scope (read-only is fine; we never write back). For GitHub Enterprise, paste your API base URL (e.g. https://github.acme.com/api/v3) in the optional Enterprise field. You can also limit the digest to specific owner/repo lines.
On one page at trello.com/app-key: copy the API Key, then click the "Token" link below it to generate a user Token (one click, read access). Paste both into Settings. Read-only — the app never writes back to Trello.
That's the standard block for any Mac app not notarized by Apple (which needs a paid Developer membership). Design Standup Bot is ad-hoc signed, so the first launch needs one manual bypass — then never again.
Easiest: open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the "blocked" message, and click Open Anyway. Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DesignStandupBot.app in Terminal to clear the quarantine flag entirely.
The landing, issues, and compliance docs are public on GitHub; the app source is private for now (a single-developer distribution choice). Built with SwiftUI + AppKit. Got a use case for the source? Open an issue.
Free, native, and entirely on your Mac. No account, no tracking, no catch. Pick the build for your chip:
Which one? Apple menu → About This Mac. "Chip: Apple M1/M2/M3/M4" → Apple Silicon. "Processor: Intel" → Intel.
