What is Critiq?
Critiq is a native, high-performance Git client designed to bridge the gap between a powerful desktop GUI and an elite code review environment.
Most developers are forced to jump between a Git client (to manage branches/staging) and a slow web browser (to review PRs). Critiq combines these into a single, lightning-fast application that stays local-first and privacy-centric.
Critiq isn't just for reviewing others—it’s for managing your daily work.
- Advanced Staging: Perform surgical commits with line-level and hunk-level staging.
- Branch Management: Create, delete, and compare local/remote branches without the overhead of checking them out.
- Deep History: Explore file evolution, trace "blame" authorship, and visualize your repository's timeline with a native-speed graph.
- Merge & Conflict Resolution: Handle complex merges with a built-in resolution interface.
While it handles all your standard Git operations, Critiq shines when it's time to read code.
- File Triage & State: Keep track of large PRs by marking files as "reviewed." Critiq persists this state even after you pull new commits.
- LSP-Powered Intelligence: Navigate your diffs like an IDE. Get jump-to-definition, hover docs, and symbol search directly in your Git client.
- Offline Support: Since Critiq is a native client, you can review pull requests on a plane, train, or anywhere without an internet connection.
We believe in human intuition over AI noise.
- No Forced AI: Critiq is human-first. AI features are completely opt-in and toggled off by default.
- Bring Your Own AI: If you want assistance, plug in your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local LLMs). Your code is never used to train models without your consent.
- 100% Local: Your source code never leaves your machine.
