Filters in Gitify help you manage which notifications are shown in the app, allowing you to concentrate on the most crucial ones for your workflow.

Filters can be accessed from the Gitify sidebar. By default, all notifications are shown.

If you apply filters, your inbox will display notifications based on a LOGICAL AND condition.
