Reviu Pro Workflow
One desktop loop for daily GitHub review work.
Reviu Pro is built for the path from notification to review to merge, with local Git one click away when the branch needs hands-on work.
Filter the review queue
Use labels, authors, assignees, reviewers, review state, draft state, base branch, and sorting to find the right PR.
Review the full changeset
Move through files, inline or split diffs, suggested-change blocks, images, Markdown, SVG, and surrounding local files.
Discuss and resolve threads
Create inline comments, reply, edit, delete, react, upload images, use emoji autocomplete, and resolve conversations.
Check merge readiness
See conflicts, out-of-date state, skipped checks, required checks, provider images, and blocked merge conditions.
Merge or jump back local
Merge with GitHub methods, enable auto-merge when blocked, or switch the local repo to the pull request branch.
Reviu Pro
A GitHub home page built for daily review work
Start from one desktop home for notifications, repositories, and saved pull request lists, then open the right PR, repo, or notification in one click.
- Keep GitHub notifications in the app
- See unread work immediately from a desktop inbox, repo sections, and quick search.
- Save pull request lists with filters
- Create saved pull request lists filtered by repository, label, author, assignee, reviewer, review status, and draft visibility.
- Browse your repositories without the browser
- Keep your active repositories close with search, recent updates, pinned repos, and private repo visibility.
- Built-in cache so nothing feels slow
- Every GitHub request goes through a multi-tier cache with conditional fetches. Stale data is served instantly while fresh data loads in the background.
- Navigate with the command palette
- Paste any GitHub repository, pull request, or issue URL to open it directly in the app.
- Notifications in the menu bar and system tray
- A desktop icon shows your unread count and lists recent notifications. Click one to jump straight into the app.
Reviu Pro
Desktop pull request review that stays in flow
Open pull requests in Reviu to review changed files, comment inline, track checks, and merge when the branch is ready.
- Review the full changeset
- Open pull request diffs in a desktop view with inline and split layouts.
- Comment where the code changed
- Start a review comment from the diff and keep replies tied to the exact lines under discussion.
- AI brief before you dive in
- Bring your OpenAI or Anthropic key and get a Pro-only PR brief: summary, files to review first, risks, and blockers, with file links that jump straight into the diff.
- Review and merge in one place
- Approve, request changes, convert draft, or merge without bouncing back to GitHub in the browser.
- Resolve conflicts in the Git page
- When a pull request hits merge conflicts, jump from the PR to the Git page, fix the branch locally, and keep moving.
- Browse the full project from the PR
- When you're on the PR branch locally, toggle unchanged files to see the surrounding code - not just what changed.

Why Switch
Reviu is for developers who review pull requests every day.
Existing Git clients are strong at local history. Reviu focuses on the handoff between local changes and GitHub review.
Coming from Fork?
Use Reviu free for a complete local Git workflow, then add the Pro layer for saved PR lists, issues, repository actions, review threads, checks, and merge.
Coming from GitHub Desktop?
GitHub Desktop helps you inspect a pull request branch. Reviu Pro lets you review it in-app with comments, replies, checks, merge readiness, and merge actions.
Coming from Tower or GitKraken?
Pick Reviu when you want a focused GitHub review surface, a native Rust UI, and keyboard-first commands instead of a broad DevEx platform.

FAQ
Quick answers before you download Reviu
The essentials on pricing, platforms, and GitHub workflows.
What is Reviu?
Reviu is a native desktop Git client built with Rust and GPUI. Use it free for local Git workflows, or upgrade to Reviu Pro for GitHub notifications, repositories, issues, and pull request review in one app.
Why use Reviu if I already use Fork, Tower, or GitKraken?
Reviu is focused on the handoff between local Git and GitHub review. Local Git is free, while Pro adds saved pull request lists, notifications, issue context, inline review comments, checks, merge readiness, and browser-to-desktop shortcuts.
