Use GitKraken Launchpad to monitor pull requests, issues, and works in progress across a selected Workspace or team. This page explains how to open Launchpad, connect integrations, switch between Personal and Team Views, save filtered views, and understand feature differences between Cloud and On-Premise environments.
The Launchpad is also available for GitKraken On-Premise customers with some feature variations.
Quick Start
- Click the Launchpad tab in the top-left corner of GitKraken Desktop.
- Connect your integrations via Preferences > Integrations, or follow the in-app prompts.
- Select a Cloud Workspace from the dropdown to filter activity to specific repositories.
- Use the Pull Requests, Issues, WIPs, or All tabs to view relevant items.
- Toggle between Personal View (items assigned to or created by you) and Team View (items from others) using the toggle in the top-right.
To prioritize items:
- Click the pin icon to keep a PR or issue at the top of the list.
- Click the snooze icon to hide an item temporarily. Snoozed items appear in the Snoozed tab.
To save a filtered view for reuse, click the + Save View icon in the Launchpad tab bar and name it. Saved views are tied to the mode (Personal or Team) in which they were created.
How to get started with Launchpad
To open Launchpad:
- Click the Launchpad tab in the top-left corner of GitKraken Desktop.
- Connect your integrations via Preferences > Integrations, or follow the in-app prompts for specific providers.
How to set up Workspaces and integrations
Launchpad works best when connected to at least one Workspace. To set this up:
- Create a Cloud Workspace
- Return to the Launchpad to view filtered WIPs, Issues, and PRs across selected repositories.
You can filter by:
- Pull Requests: Displays open PRs in selected Workspace repositories.
- Issues: Shows active issues.
- WIPs: Lists repositories with uncommitted changes.
- All: Displays a unified view of all three above.
Note: Cloud Workspaces are not available in GitKraken On-Premise. As a result, Launchpad will not show Cloud Workspace-related data in those environments. Learn more.
Pinned and snoozed items help prioritize what you see first:
- Click the icon to pin PRs or issues to the top.
- Click the icon to snooze a PR. Snoozed items are moved to the Snoozed tab.
How Personal View works
Personal View displays items where you’re directly involved:
- PRs/issues created by you
- Assigned to you
- You’re listed as a reviewer
- You are mentioned
If you select “None” in the Workspace dropdown, you’ll still see items related to your user identity across all connected services.
Note: Team View is not available for GitKraken On-Premise due to its dependency on Cloud Workspaces. Team View is available for Advanced plans and above.
How Team View works
Switch to Team View using the toggle in the top-right corner of Launchpad. Team View displays items not associated with your user account:
- Created by others
- Assigned to others
- Others are listed as reviewers or mentioned
You can filter by user to focus on specific collaborators’ activity.
Team View provides a high-level look at your team’s current efforts across all repositories in the selected Workspace.
How to save and reuse Launchpad views
You can save customized views by clicking the Save View icon in the Launchpad tab bar.
To delete a saved view:
- Select the view.
- Navigate to View Settings > Delete this view.
Note that saved views are only visible when you’re in the same mode (Team or Personal) in which they were created.
Note: Saved Views are not available in GitKraken On-Premise clients.

- Click the summary indicator to open Launchpad with the matching status group expanded.

How On-Premise Launchpad differs from Cloud Launchpad
GitKraken On-Premise respects network isolation, which limits certain cloud-based features.
| Feature | Cloud | On-Premise |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Workspaces | ✅ | ❌ |
| Snoozing/Pinning | ✅ | ❌ |
| Team Launchpad | ✅ | ❌ |
| Issue/PR Filtering | ✅ | ✅ |
| View Settings | ✅ | ✅ (unsaved only) |
This local-only experience is ideal for teams requiring full network control.
