PR Pulse is a free Chrome add-on designed to enhance productivity for developers using GitHub by providing visual indicators for pull requests (PRs). This tool features color-coded badges that help users quickly identify the age of PRs, categorizing them into fresh, getting stale, or needing attention based on how long they have been open. Additionally, it offers complexity scores, allowing users to assess the scope of changes based on the number of files modified and lines of code affected.

The extension is fully customizable, enabling users to adjust age thresholds and complexity scoring to fit their workflow. It operates entirely offline without data collection, ensuring user privacy while requiring minimal permissions. By highlighting long-lived PRs, PR Pulse assists teams in maintaining code quality and reducing merge conflicts, ultimately speeding up the development process.
