Native macOS · GitHub pull requests
Review pull requests without the browser.
Diffs, threads and reviews in one native macOS window, driven entirely from the keyboard.
Download on the Mac App Store
Free — Pro from $4.99/mo, with a 2 weeks free trial
Requires macOS 26 or later.
Threads
Reply and resolve in place
Comment on any line, reply in a thread, and resolve the conversation without switching windows. Unresolved threads are marked, counted, and reachable with a single keystroke.
Appearance
Make the diff yours
Choose the code font and set the colour of keywords, types, strings, comments, numbers and atoms. Anything you leave alone follows the system palette, so it keeps adapting on its own.
Notifications
Only the things that need you
Twelve switches decide what reaches the inbox — review requests, mentions, assignments, CI results, threads you are part of. The menu bar carries the unread count and polls in the background.
Everything else
The rest of the review, handled
CI status
Passing and failing counts at a glance.

Built for the keyboard
Your hands never leave home row
Jump to the next unresolved thread, switch what the file list shows, mark a file viewed, step to the next commit, send a reply. Every one of them is a keystroke — the same bar sits at the bottom of the app, so nothing here is folklore you have to discover.

Privacy
No analytics. No tracking. No SDKs.
Your employer's source code is the most sensitive thing on your machine. reviewdawg treats it that way.
Your credential stays on your Mac
The token lives in your login Keychain, under the service com.reviewdawg.github. Signing out deletes it. It never leaves the device except as an Authorization header to GitHub.
Three hosts, no others
reviewdawg contacts api.github.com and github.com to do its job, and apps.apple.com for your subscription. Nothing else is ever reached.
Nothing is collected
No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party SDKs — the app has no third-party dependencies at all.
Pricing
The whole review loop is free

reviewdawg Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings at any time.
Which version of macOS do I need?
macOS 26 or later. reviewdawg is built against the current SDK and uses APIs that do not exist on earlier releases.
Do I need to create a GitHub token?
No. Signing in through your browser uses GitHub's device flow — reviewdawg shows a short code, you approve it on github.com, and the token GitHub issues is stored for you. If you would rather issue the credential yourself, you can paste a personal access token instead.
Why does the notification inbox need a classic token?
GitHub's notifications API accepts classic tokens only. With a fine-grained token reviewdawg switches the inbox and the menu-bar unread count off rather than letting them fail on every poll. Everything else — diffs, threads, comments, reviews, checks — works normally.
My organisation restricts third-party OAuth apps.
An organisation owner has to approve reviewdawg before its repositories appear. Alternatively, connect with a personal access token, which is not subject to OAuth app restrictions.
Is my code sent anywhere?
No. reviewdawg talks to GitHub and to Apple for your subscription, and to nothing else. There is no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party SDKs. Your credential is stored in your Mac's login Keychain and never leaves the device except as an Authorization header to GitHub.
How do I cancel Pro?
Manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
