DevGlimpse shows how your engineering team delivers: how fast pull requests move, how long reviews wait, how much ships. You sign in with GitHub, install the DevGlimpse GitHub App, and the dashboards fill themselves in. There is nothing to host or maintain.

The two-minute tour

  1. Connect. An organization owner installs the GitHub App. DevGlimpse creates a workspace for your company and imports the last 90 days of pull requests, reviews and commits.
  2. Stay current. GitHub sends changes as they happen. A nightly check repairs anything that was missed. See Data sync.
  3. Look. Dashboards work per person, per GitHub team and per custom group. Reports cover cycle time, review latency, PR size, throughput, DORA and more.
  4. Share and act. Set alerts, send digests, share a read-only dashboard link, or ask your AI assistant through the MCP server.

What we measure

We measure what ships: pull requests, reviews, merges and deploys. Together with your tickets, incidents and CI runs, these give you metrics such as cycle time, review wait, PR size and throughput. Every metric has a published definition in the metric glossary.

What we never do

  • We never collect keystrokes, screen time, IDE activity, calendars or source code.
  • We never rank people against each other. There are no leaderboards. Where work is uneven, such as review load, we show the distribution across the team.
  • We never show a number about a person that you would not be comfortable seeing about yourself.

By default a developer sees their own individual metrics and nobody else’s. Managers see the people in their own teams and groups. Team and group numbers are visible to everyone in the workspace. Your admin can tighten or widen each role’s scope. Read the full measurement principles.

How it fits

  • Workspace. One workspace per company. It can connect several GitHub organizations. See Workspaces.
  • Roles. Developer, manager and org admin, plus a read-only viewer for share links. See Roles.
  • Your tools. DevGlimpse reads from GitHub and other sources listed under Integrations. The GitHub App asks only for read-only access. See GitHub App permissions.
  • Leaving. You can export your data at any time and delete it immediately. If you uninstall the App, the workspace stays readable for 30 days first.
