Code review, no headaches.
A macOS client, natively built to review code changes of your team.
v4.8.5 | macOS 14.0+
macOS native
Get the most of your Mac, written entirely in Swift with latest Apple technologies. Being platform oriented is our top priority.
Works with your favorites Git providers
Pulldog supports Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, Gitea & Forgejo for now (but Azure & Gerrit is also on the go).
Highly customizable
Review is personal. Make Pulldog your own, tailored to your needs.
Save time
Developers spend a significant amount of their time on code reviews; we believe this experience can be improved and made frictionless.
Multiple git accounts
"One software to rule them all, one software to find them, One software to bring them all and in the darkness approved them." As with your mailbox, add as many git accounts as you need. If your team does not work with a monorepository that's not an issue anymore.
"Smart" queries
Remember Apple mail "smart folders" feature ? Create your own rules to keep your pull requests organized!
Here's some smart queries that we found interesting:
| Smart queries | Rules |
|---|---|
| Last chance to review | PR approvals > X AND pipeline status is "succeed" |
| Old PRs | PR created date > X week(s) |
| Today's PRs | PR created date > begin day AND PR created date < end day |
| Feature team's PR | PR author name matching X, Y or Z |
| Big PRs | PR status is open AND deleted lines > X |
| Small PRs | PR status is open AND deleted lines < X |
| Most discussed *Useful for tech lead or staff engineer | PR comments count > X |
| Mines | PR author name matching X |
| Mines that failed | PR author name matching X AND pipeline status is "failed" |
| Reviewed by me | PR status is open AND Comment author name matching X |
| Opened today | PR created date > begin day AND PR created date < end day AND PR status is open |
| Merged today | PR created date > begin day AND PR created date < end day AND PR status is merged |
Customizable
Pulldog supports 185 languages & have 90 themes. You can search across the entire changed files or only on changed lines / filter files by names / match patterns using regex & more!
Sometimes… size matter
Why is code review tool today barely reach 50% of the window surface. Shouldn't the code be the most important thing to look at during a review? Even reach 93% of the window surface by collapsing your sidebar!
Click to reduce scope
Filter (by folder or by files) allows you to review code piece by piece. Want to see a view model with his associated unit test? Or perhaps the UI layer first, followed by the core logic? It's really up to you now!
Matching selection
Instantly understand where a variable is modified or where code is duplicated.
Notifications
Too much noise ? Subscribe to channels that makes sense for you. "A co-worker open or merge PRs I don't want to hear that. A co-worker reply to my comments or update a PR I've already approved, I want to know that." No more emails. Notifications lands on your desktop when needed. You're in control.
Widgets
Keep an eye on your team's work at anytime by putting your widgets directly on your "Desktop" or in your "Notification Center".
Spotlight
You're always one click away from jumping right into a pull request with Spotlight. When someone ask something on Slack or Teams no one could be faster than you now!
(requires macOS 26.0+) Apple provides an on-device model with 3 billion parameters, ask it to review your PRs. All is running locally no code is sent to a server, so feel free to use it even on sensible codebase at no extra-cost. You can even ask the model to make you a summary of the file as well as evaluating if PR should be approved as currently proposed.
