Icarus
Ask your codebase why, and get the receipt.
Ask why your code is the way it is. Icarus answers from your repository's own pull requests and issues, with citations, and says "no one wrote this down" when nobody did.
Hi PH, maker here.
Icarus started from one thing I kept watching: a coding agent about to rewrite something a teammate had already tried and had rejected, because git only keeps what merged. The why was in a closed PR nobody would read again.
So Icarus reads the whole GitHub record (code, pull requests, reviews) and answers why, what, and how, with the exact evidence on screen. The one rule it never breaks: it only says what it can prove. When no one wrote the reason down, it says "no one wrote this down" instead of guessing. That gate is deterministic: code checking code.
It's a Mac app, a browser extension, and an MCP connector your coding agent can call. Public and private repos.
It's early. The Mac app isn't notarized yet, so first open needs a right-click, then Open. I'd genuinely rather you connect a real repo and tell me where it's wrong than upvote. Try it on yours: https://try-icarus.vercel.app
Happy to answer anything here today.
