before katibu 🐢	after katibu 🚀
Someone creates a Jira ticket, you only know if he send it or assigns it to you	katibu sends a notification that you can click to open the ticket. You can also open it by clicking on the ticket label in the UI
you checkout master, pull, create a new local branch with the ticket number and title	you click a button and katibu creates a new branch from latest master with the prefect git-friendly name. click the branch name to open this repo in vscode
commit and push, usually many times	click on the UP arrow to push (optionally with no-verify or force)
you need to open a PR. you open githup, find the repo, you type the PR title and click open	click on the github icon to open the current PR page OR a new PR page with a the perfect title, even if you push a single commit only ;)
there are checks and they take LONG time and focus, then you have to wait for approvals before having a mergable PR. Oh no, master changed and you need to update your PR and run checks again 😡	you get a notification when a new related PR is detected or when the status change (blocked or unblocked).
you FINALLY merge your PR, you delete the remote branch, switch to master, remove the local branch (or worse, you dont!). wait, deleting failed so you try again with force	when a remote branch is deleted you get a notification to delete the local branch, you click it and it's gone (another one if force is needed) and BOOM! you're on updated master again ready to roll.
you lose yourself in work and have a shitty work-life balance	you get an hourly reminder of how many hours left in your workday. you get a break reminder after 4 hours and one last reminder when you finish your 8 hours 🎉 it's counts screen-on time only

IMPORTANT: because I can't sign my app (I need to pay Apple $100 yearly 🤦🏻‍♂️) you need to do this:

• download the latest version
• extract, move the app to your applications folder
• open the applications folder, right click the file katibu, press option key then click open, in the dialog you should be able to run, if not try again. this is needed only once after fresh downloads.

so, what does katibu means?
