About Volta
Volta is a productivity layer on top of GitHub designed to give engineering teams a faster, more focused workflow than the default GitHub UI. It centralizes pull requests, issues, notifications, and reviews into a single inbox so developers can triage work without jumping between repos and browser tabs.
The app is aimed at software teams that live in GitHub all day and want keyboard-driven navigation, smarter notifications, and a consolidated view of activity across multiple repositories. It surfaces the work that needs attention while filtering out noise from less relevant updates.
Because it sits on top of existing GitHub data, Volta complements rather than replaces GitHub itself.
