Reviu vs Fork

Fork is a fast, native Git client for macOS and Windows with a clean interface and a one-time purchase. It is a strong local Git tool that many developers like.

Reviu is also native, built with Rust and GPUI, but focused on the review loop: read the diff your agent produced, comment inline, then review and merge GitHub pull requests inside the app with Reviu Pro.
