It’s a local, PR-like code review app that works directly with your working tree. You can review committed, staged, unstaged, and untracked changes, leave inline comments, and organize the work into actual reviews without having to push anything anywhere. You connect whatever AI you're using through MCP and have a coherent experience without all the mundane copy-pasting. All comments live in threads attached to specific code changes, so it’s easy to follow what’s going on over time.
Hi all!
I code professionally for the last 15 years - more and more with AI next to me. Being naturally pushed by market to produce more and more output, I now find myself hopping daily between 5 to 7 simultaneous ai sessions.
I realized that the bottleneck is the code review process - and the place where I conduct the reviews.
I work mostly in environments where it's not really an option to dump one shotted AI slop to company's GitHub. By the time my work is pushed there it needs to be more or less ready for code review by my colleagues.
So I found myself juggling between terminals and IDEs copy-pasting my comments about changes created by my agents. I tried many solutions out there, but what I felt all the time, is, that what I need, is my local GitHub
I want that GitHub code review experience but before a commit is made, here on my computer. A single place where all my agents and I, can talk about code changes.
So I build GitWarren.
It’s a local, PR-like code review app that works directly with your working tree. I can review committed, staged, unstaged and untracked changes, leave inline comments, and organize the work into actual reviews without having to push anything anywhere.
What I really like, is that I can just connect whatever AI I use at the moment through MCP and have a coherent experience without this mundane copy-pasting. Also all the comments happen in threads on specific code changes so it's easy to follow what is going on over time.
The app is free, open-sourced, fully local, no accounts, no servers, and you bring your own agents to the party.
On mac you can just:
brew install -cask klarluft/tap/gitwarren
There's also Linux and Windows distribution (Windows is not yet signed - working on it).
I think there must be more people facing similar problems right now, no?
Also, the more I work on this app the more I feel like we may find many other use cases for local GitHub experience - like maybe this can be a meeting place for different agents roaming on your computer, and as an extra, you can also peek through some nice UI what are they doing there - just to stay in the "loop".
Would love to hear how others are handling this.
Reviewing unstaged and untracked changes without pushing them anywhere is really useful. That feels like a much more natural workflow for catching issues before a PR even exists.
