Durable agent sessions
Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or other ACP registry agents from the desktop app while keeping their conversations, commands, edits, permissions, and failures grouped in a persistent session.
Reviu
Reviu is a native desktop workspace for developers who use coding agents. It combines persistent agent sessions, local diff review, line comments, isolated Git worktrees, and local Git operations, with GitHub pull-request workflows available in Pro.
AI-assisted code review workspace
Reviu is a native desktop workspace for reviewing and managing code produced by coding agents. It launches an agent CLI on the local machine, organizes each task as a persistent session, and lets developers inspect the resulting changes before they become commits.
The workflow combines agent conversations with local files, diffs, terminals, Git history, and review comments. Developers can send line-level feedback back to the agent, work in isolated branches or worktrees, and finish accepted changes with local Git. GitHub pull-request review, checks, notifications, and merge are available as a separate Pro workflow.
Features
Local diff review
Inspect local file changes, review individual lines, and turn selected comments into a combined prompt that is sent back to the coding agent for another pass.
Parallel worktrees
Run separate agent tasks in Git worktrees and branches so parallel sessions do not write into the same checkout or dirty the main working directory.
Integrated local Git
Use Git operations close to the code review: stage or restore hunks, amend and reorder commits, resolve conflicts, stash work, cherry-pick, rebase, and push from a keyboard-oriented interface.
GitHub pull-request workflow
When the branch is ready, connect it to GitHub for pull-request files, inline review comments, checks, notifications, and merge actions in the app. These GitHub workflows are part of Pro.
Unified workspace
Work with conversations, files, diffs, terminals, and split panes in one native workspace, with session context retained when switching between tasks.
Use cases
Review agent-generated changes
Run an agent on a feature or bug fix in an isolated branch, inspect the local diff, and request targeted revisions before accepting the work.
Parallelize independent tasks
Start several coding tasks at once while keeping each agent in its own worktree, then monitor which sessions are running, waiting for permission, failed, or ready for review.
Prepare a clean branch
Use the integrated Git controls to stage selected hunks, restore unwanted edits, resolve conflicts, and clean up commits before sharing a branch.
Complete GitHub-based delivery
Move an approved local branch into a GitHub pull-request workflow to inspect remote diffs, respond to review threads, follow checks, and merge from the same application.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Keeps agent sessions, local diffs, terminals, and Git state in one workspace.
- Supports line comments that can be sent back to the coding agent as revision instructions.
- Uses isolated worktrees and branches for parallel agent tasks.
- Provides local Git operations for shaping hunks, cleaning history, and preparing branches before a pull request.
- Supports multiple ACP registry agents instead of a fixed in-app agent list.
Cons
- The product is a desktop application rather than a browser-only review tool.
- GitHub pull requests, reviews, checks, merge, and notifications are separated into the Pro workflow; the site does not document broader team or collaboration capabilities.
- Remote-over-SSH and mobile access are listed as planned rather than current workflows.
FAQ
What is Reviu?
Reviu is a native desktop app for managing coding-agent sessions, reviewing local diffs, sending line comments back to an agent, and completing Git workflows such as staging, committing, rebasing, and pushing.
Which coding agents can Reviu use?
Reviu launches the coding-agent CLI already installed and authenticated on the computer. The site identifies Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other agents available through the Agent Client Protocol registry.
Can Reviu be used without GitHub?
Yes. Local agent sessions, diff review, parallel worktrees, and local Git workflows are available in the free local workflow. GitHub pull-request features are presented as part of Reviu Pro.
Which platforms does Reviu support?
Reviu is offered as a native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. The site lists macOS downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel, Linux installation through a shell script, and Windows builds for ARM64 and x64.
How does Reviu isolate agent work?
A session is tied to a project and checkout. Reviu can use an isolated Git worktree and branch so multiple agents can work in parallel without changing the main checkout; the session retains its conversation, files, terminal, checkpoints, and review queue.
