Better GitLab is a free Chrome add-on developed by Thomas Randolph that aims to enhance the user interface of GitLab. This add-on provides several quality of life improvements to the GitLab UI, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

One of the key features of Better GitLab is the addition of an editable and persistent scratchpad area on the To-Dos page. Unlike the default GitLab To-Dos, which function more like notifications, this new feature allows users to write and manage actual to-do lists. It provides a dedicated space where users can jot down tasks, ideas, or reminders, helping them stay organized and focused on their work.

With Better GitLab, users can now easily keep track of their tasks within GitLab itself, eliminating the need for external note-taking tools or applications. This enhancement improves productivity and streamlines the workflow for GitLab users, making it a valuable addition to the platform.
