The line that matters

Most PR review tools can't even open your private repos.

Web review tools use OAuth — so before you can review a private PR, your org admin has to approve the app for the entire organization. Your trial dies in a Slack message to infra that never gets answered.

ReviewCalm is a desktop app. You authenticate with your own GitHub account. No org-wide approval. No admin ticket. No waiting. If you can see the PR on github.com, you can review it here — right now.

Sound familiar?

github.com shows you a spinner. You just wanted the diff.

⏳

Endless loading

Open a big PR, watch it chunk-load file by file, scroll, wait for the next batch to render.

🧭

No starting point

143 changed files in a flat list. Where do you even begin? You scroll and hope.

🔁

You lose your place

Close the tab, come back tomorrow, and you've forgotten what you already reviewed.

😮‍💨

You're not confident

By the end you're not sure you understood the change. You're just tired.

Speed

It's just… there.

ReviewCalm loads the changed files into a fast, native diff view. No tab, no spinner, no "loading diff…". Built to stay responsive on PRs with hundreds of changed files.

⚡ Open → diff visible. No render queue.
CLI-friendly

Stop hunting through 40 browser tabs for your PR.

You know the chaos: a dozen GitHub tabs open, and the PR you need is buried somewhere — and when you finally find it, it loads forever. With ReviewCalm, one command (or your coding agent) opens the exact PR instantly, in its own focused window.

  • No tab archaeology — the PR opens straight to its own window
  • No spinner — it's there the moment it opens
  • Your agent can open a PR for you the second it's ready to review
you ▸ open the auth refactor PR so I can review it

agent ▸ on it — opening in ReviewCalm

Built for review

Start with architecture. Then dive into code.

ReviewCalm opens every review as a collapsed project tree. Understand the shape of the change before the line-by-line — subsystem by subsystem.

  • Review by folder, collapse entire subsystems
  • Folder-level and file-level progress
  • Built for reviewing — not committing or merging
🌳 frontend / · payments / · infra / — collapse what you're not reviewing yet.
Never lose your place

Close the app. Resume exactly where you stopped.

ReviewCalm remembers — locally — which files you've reviewed, which folders you've cleared, and your last location. Your code never touches our servers. We don't have servers.

A note from the maker

I built ReviewCalm in a weekend because I needed it. I review big PRs on my private repos all day, and every option was either painfully slow, locked behind an org admin OAuth approval I couldn't get, or a commit-and-push tool that treated reviewing as an afterthought.

So I made the thing I wanted: open any PR fast, from my own GitHub, even from the terminal, and actually understand the change before I merge it.

If that's your problem too, I think you'll like it.

FAQ

Quick questions

Do I need my org admin to approve anything?

No. That's the whole point. Because ReviewCalm is a desktop app you sign into with your own GitHub account, there's no org-wide OAuth app for an admin to approve. If you can see the PR on github.com, you can review it here.

Where does my code go? Is it sent to a server?

It stays on your machine. ReviewCalm has no backend — your review state lives locally in a database on your Mac. We never see your code.

Is this a subscription?

No. One-time payment. You get all updates for the current major version, and a discounted upgrade if and when a major v2 ships.

Can it post comments / approve / merge?

Not today — ReviewCalm is read-only and focused on making review fast and clear. It does one job well rather than being another bloated git client.

What platforms are supported?

macOS today. If there's enough demand from buyers, other platforms may follow.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Email me, get a full refund, no questions asked.

Merge because you understand the change.

Not because you scrolled to the bottom. Fast to open, no admin approval, built only for review.
