Sync settings

Settings › Sync decides what Gannin fetches from GitHub and how often. It also shows how much of GitHub’s hourly budget you have spent, and where it went. These settings are for the whole app, not one org, because the budget belongs to your token. Every option here is kept on this Mac only.

GitHub’s budget

GitHub gives your token a fixed number of points an hour. This section shows what is left, so you can see whether to slow anything down.

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
GraphQL	Not known until the next request	Shows the GraphQL points left and when they reset. Read only.	This Mac
REST	Shown once known	Shows the REST requests left and when they reset. Read only.	This Mac
Spent in the last hour	0 points	Shows the points used in the last hour, and the REST requests too when there are some. A warning appears above half the hourly budget. Read only.	This Mac
Keep in reserve	500 points	The reserve: points held back for what you open or Refresh by hand. Once fewer are left, automatic fetches and background checks wait for the reset. Choose 250, 500, 1000, 1500 or 2500.	This Mac

If GitHub refuses a request for its rate limit, Gannin pauses and says when it will ask again.

Spent

The Spent list shows what each source used, most first. Sources that used nothing are left out, and an empty list says “Nothing yet.” Use the picker to switch between Last hour and Last day. Most sources are charged in points. GitHub Actions is charged in REST requests.

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
Spent	Last hour	Chooses the window for the list: Last hour or Last day.	This Mac

Some work is charged in the list but has no setting. Change feed is the one search per org that says which PRs and issues changed since the last cycle: the workload, issue history and work log read it instead of each searching for changes, and use their own search only when it fails or finds more than GitHub will return. The work log reads it for PRs only; its issues and comments still use their own search. It follows their intervals, so it has no interval of its own. The rest happens when you do something: Items you open, Changes you make, Account and settings, and Other.

Workload

Open PRs and issues, and what changed since the last fetch. This group is always on. Rows are fetched when a page needs them and the data is older than the interval, so their choices read “After” followed by a time.

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
Workload	After 5 minutes. Cannot be turned off.	Open PRs and issues, and PRs merged in the lookback.	This Mac
Members and teams	After 1 hour. Cannot be turned off.	The org’s members and teams. Refresh fetches them too.	This Mac
Full search	After 1 day. Cannot be turned off.	Searches everything again rather than only what changed.	This Mac

Issues

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
Issue history	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Issues closed in the window and open ones, with board moves, for the issue pages, Inbox, Views and meetings.	This Mac
Every open issue	After 1 hour. Cannot be turned off on its own.	Fetches every open issue again, as board moves do not count as updates. Refresh leaves it to its interval; Full Refresh does it at once. It goes off with Issue history.	This Mac
Issue descriptions and comments	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Fetches text for searching in descriptions, after each issue sync. It goes off with Issue history.	This Mac

Pages

These are fetched when a page that shows them opens and they are older than the interval. Off means not fetched at all, Refresh included: pages show what was fetched before. The choices read “After” followed by a time.

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
PR metrics	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Merged PRs for the Dashboard, PR flow and Scorecard.	This Mac
Work log	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Commits, reviews, issues opened and issue comments for Activity and Standup, once one has been opened.	This Mac
Project boards	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Board lists, fields and items.	This Mac
Milestones and releases	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Milestones, releases, downloads and stars, once the Releases page has been opened.	This Mac
GitHub Actions	After 10 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Workflow runs for the CI page, once it has been opened. Uses the REST budget.	This Mac
Harness	After 10 minutes. Cannot be turned off.	Plans, requirements, skills and the team’s shared settings. It stays on, as your team’s settings are kept there.	This Mac

In the background

These are checked while Gannin runs, and held off when the budget is low. The choices read “Every” followed by a time.

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
Your reviews and PRs	Every 5 minutes. Can be turned Off.	PRs your review is asked on, your own PRs and your issues, for the menu bar, Agents and notifications.	This Mac
Watched reviews	Every 5 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Reviewed PRs that Claude watches for new commits and comments.	This Mac
Session pull requests	Every 2 minutes. Can be turned Off.	Each running session’s PRs: checks, reviews and threads. Each time it looks, one small query compares every session’s PRs with the last full look, and only those that changed, have checks running or have gone 10 minutes are read in full. The PRs pane still looks when you open it.	This Mac
While checks run	Every 1 minute. Cannot be turned off on its own.	How often to look while a session’s PR has checks running. It goes off with Session pull requests.	This Mac

How much

Option	Default	What it changes	Kept
Merged work from the last	14 days	How far back merged work is fetched, from 1 to 90 days. It applies on the next refresh.	This Mac
Actions jobs per workflow	Every run in the window	How many runs per workflow have their jobs fetched when you open a workflow: Every run in the window, or the latest 500, 200, 100, 50 or 20. Each run’s jobs cost a REST request. Jobs already fetched are kept.	This Mac

When a source is turned off, the page that shows it tells you, with a link back to Sync Settings, so old data is not mistaken for current.
