Code Review for Large PRs

GitHub's UI wasn't built for 50-file PRs. Scrutiny was.

A native macOS app for reviewing large GitHub pull requests with full repo context, LSP intelligence, and a workflow that actually scales.

See the Full Diff

The Problem: GitHub collapses large files with "Large diffs are not rendered by default." You're left clicking through, losing context, or cloning locally just to read the changes.
Scrutiny: Every file opens fully expanded. Large diffs render instantly in a native view—no truncation, no "load more," no waiting.

Review in Repo Context

The Problem: GitHub shows you the diff in isolation. To understand how a change fits the codebase, you're tab-switching between the PR and the repo browser—or cloning and grepping.
Scrutiny: Browse the entire repository alongside the diff. Jump from a changed function to its callers, check related files, understand the architecture—all without leaving the review.

LSP-Powered Navigation

The Problem: "Where is this function defined?" "What calls this?" GitHub's symbol search is limited. You end up cloning the repo and opening your IDE just to navigate.
Scrutiny: Full Language Server Protocol support for 12+ languages. Jump to definition, find all references, peek implementations—real IDE navigation in your review tool.

Track Your Review Progress

Large PRs need more than a single pass. Keep track of what's left.

TODO List showing files, comments, and questions

The TODO List

Every PR gets a checklist that builds itself and stays with you across sessions.

  • Every file in the PR—automatically tracked, checked off as you review
  • Outstanding comments—conversations you need to respond to or resolve
  • Your own notes—questions to investigate, things to circle back to, reminders for your approval

The Review Queue

Stay on top of incoming PRs across all your repositories.

Review Queue organized by repository

Never Lose Track of a PR

Configure what lands in your queue and how it's organized.

  • Organized by repository—see at a glance which repos have pending reviews
  • Custom filter criteria—define rules per repo: team mentions, labels, authors, branch patterns
  • Status at a glance—ready for review, changes requested, draft
