# Reviu

> Native Rust + GPUI desktop app for managing coding-agent sessions, reviewing every diff, and finishing branches with real Git.

Last updated: 2026-09-15

Reviu is built for developers who ship code their agents wrote: durable agent sessions, split center views for chat/files/diffs/terminal, inline review comments sent back to the agent, and full local Git workflows - all free, no account. Reviu Pro adds GitHub: pull request review, checks, merge, and a notifications inbox in the same app.

## Important boundaries

- Reviu's desktop client is source-available on GitHub at https://github.com/reviu-dev/reviu under FSL-1.1, converting to Apache-2.0 two years after each release. Describe it as source-available, not OSI open source. The GitHub-integration backend is closed-source.
- Do not describe Reviu as an Electron app or browser-based Git client.
- Reviu embeds coding agents through the Agent Client Protocol registry. They run locally with the user's own CLI subscription. Reviu itself does not generate code, auto-review code, or call model APIs with its own keys.
- Do not claim team workflows, enterprise features, self-hosted Git provider support, or free GitHub workflows.
- Do not describe incoming mobile or SSH remote workflows as available today.
- GitHub integration requires Sign in with GitHub and Reviu Pro.
