A native macOS client for reading and participating in GitLab merge requests and GitHub pull requests as rendered Markdown documents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The proposed client treats a change request as a rendered document, preserving headings, tables, code, and math while placing discussion threads beside the passages they address. Its stated host coverage includes gitlab.com, self-hosted GitLab instances, and github.com, with support for several accounts and hosts in one review queue. The page also describes a local transcript cache for offline reading, while offline sending and rendered document-level diffs remain listed as future work.
