Review is the bottleneck now.

For a long time the hard part of shipping was writing the code. Tooling, IDEs, and now agents have made that part faster than anyone expected. What hasn’t changed is the part that comes after: someone has to read the change, hold it in their head, and take responsibility for merging it.

When code is cheap to produce, review is where quality is actually decided — and where the queue backs up. Yet most of us still review in a cramped browser tab built for a slower era, fighting the interface instead of reading the diff.

Pyor starts from that observation. If review is the bottleneck, it deserves a tool built for nothing else.

Pyor is a fast, native pull-request reviewer for GitHub. The whole review lives in a single window: the files, the conversation, the checks, and the decision. You open a PR, read it, leave your comments, and merge — without losing your place to a dozen tabs and a reload on every click.

It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and it connects straight to GitHub from your machine. There’s nothing else to host, no proxy in the middle, no account on our side to create. You sign in to GitHub; Pyor is just the lens you read through.

We’re a small, independent team building the reviewer GitHub never built. No outside mandate, no platform ambitions — just engineers who spend their days in pull requests and wanted the tool to be better.

That independence is the point. It lets us keep Pyor narrow, keep it private by design, and answer only to the people who use it. We’d rather do one thing thoroughly than ten things adequately.

If something here resonates — or you think we’re wrong — we’d genuinely like to hear it. Get in touch.
