The Obeya app now shows a number on its icon: in the Dock on a Mac, on the taskbar button on Windows, on the launcher of Linux desktops that support it. It is the same count as the bar's navigation button: the tasks waiting for you on every canvas, plus Obeya's unread answers. It updates within a moment, even with the window closed, so you can see at a glance whether something needs you without opening Obeya.
