What is Volta?

Volta is a web application with a simple goal: to help you manage your repositories and issues. It's built on top of GitHub API to provide a real-time and intuitive interface with an automated issue board out of the box. Volta also helps you reduce the overwhelming flow of notifications to focus on what matters.

Get the app

Volta is available on your browser, as a desktop application or on mobile/tablet as a Progressive Web App (PWA). We recommend using our desktop application for an optimal experience.

Volta is available for macOS Intel, macOS Apple Silicon, and Windows. Download the desktop app at volta.net/download.

These are the benefits of using the desktop app:

  • Receive native notifications through your OS
  • Notice unread notifications on the Volta app icon
  • Download and install updates automatically in the background
Volta is not available yet on Linux, in the meantime you can install our PWA.
