Needs attention4
A few things to address2
All clear

Unassigned bugs

Issues labeled as bugs with no assignee past your threshold. Nothing slips through because nobody claimed it.

PRs without review

Each PR waiting too long is flagged by name. Nothing gets merged without a look.

First response time

How long does it take your team to reply to a new issue? Tracked per repo, updated daily.

Zombie issues

Issues nobody has touched in weeks. Close them, plan them, or re-engage. But stop pretending they don't exist.

Thresholds you control

Set what stale and overdue mean for your team. Zero days means a bug gets flagged the moment it's opened. No grace period.

Zero access to your code

Crickets installs as a GitHub App on your organisation with read-only access to issues, PRs, and comments. Source code is never read or stored. Any admin can verify the exact permissions directly in GitHub.

Review throughput

Is your team reviewing as fast as it ships? If PRs pile up unreviewed, quality suffers quietly. This catches it early.

Common questions

They do, and most have them muted or read in bulk. Crickets isn't for developers. It's for the person responsible for the whole picture, who shouldn't have to dig through notification threads to know if something is slipping.

The opposite. Instead of checking in manually, you see the situation in 30 seconds and move on. Fewer interruptions for your team. Less anxiety for you. Crickets is about not dropping the ball, not watching individuals.

Those tools are great for planning. Crickets watches what actually happens on GitHub: is a user waiting on a reply, does a bug have no owner, is a PR blocking someone. It's complementary, not a replacement.

No. Crickets installs as a GitHub App with read-only access to issues, PRs, and comments only. Source code is never read or stored. Any admin on your org can verify the exact permissions directly in GitHub before installing.

About two minutes. Install the GitHub App on your organisation, pick the repos you want to monitor, and you're done. No migration, no code changes, no config files.

Especially for small teams. With fewer people, there's less chance someone notices what's slipping. A bug without an owner for two weeks in a team of four is less visible than you'd think.
