Products & Services
Native Rust and GPUI desktop app for running ACP-compatible coding-agent sessions locally, reviewing agent-written diffs, sending inline comments back to the agent, using isolated worktrees and checkpoints, and completing local Git operations such as staging, commit, amend, rebase, stash, cherry-pick, and conflict resolution.
Paid GitHub layer inside Reviu, adding pull-request diffs, inline review comments, checks, reviewers, merge actions, GitHub notifications, and browser handoff/extension workflows.
Chrome and Firefox extensions that add an Open in Reviu action to supported GitHub repository, pull-request, and issue pages, handing the page off to the installed desktop app.
Market Position
Reviu positions itself as a native, keyboard-first review workspace for the agent-to-commit loop rather than a general Git client or a chat panel. Its own comparison pages contrast it with GitHub Desktop, Fork, Tower, and GitKraken; its differentiators are durable agent sessions, per-turn diff receipts, line comments sent back to agents, isolated worktrees, and a local-first free tier, with GitHub workflow features in Pro. SourceForge also lists Gitbox, Graphite, Reviewable, GitBunki, and Gitoryx as alternatives.

Joris Gallot
Independent software engineer and maker of Reviu
France-based independent software engineer building developer tools and SaaS products; public profiles identify him as Reviu's maker and link him to Reviu's GitHub organization and repository.
Founding Story
Gallot says he started Reviu as the native, fast, keyboard-oriented Git client he wanted to use. After the initial product combined a Git client with an agent panel, he concluded that the key problem was the review loop after an agent changes code: the agent session, diff, comments, local Git, and pull request context needed to be organized as one workspace. He rebuilt the product around durable sessions, isolated worktrees, per-turn diff receipts, and review feedback sent back to the agent.
Business Model
