AI code reviews. Right in your terminal.

## The problem

The cheapest bug to fix is the one you catch before anyone else reads the diff. Getting that first pass usually means signing up for a review platform, pushing the branch, and handing your source to a service — a lot of ceremony for a question you wanted answered locally, a minute after staging the change.

## The approach

CommitBrief is a command-line tool that reviews what you point it at: the staged changes, a historic commit range, or a whole GitHub pull request. It runs on your machine, keeps no server, and sends no telemetry.

The model is your choice, not ours. It speaks to ten providers — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere, the Claude Code, Gemini and Codex CLIs — and to Ollama, which keeps the whole review on your own hardware. You bring the key; nothing is rented from us.

## What it is not

It is not a SaaS platform and there is no account to create. Install it from Homebrew, Scoop or `go install`, and if you stop using it, nothing of yours stays behind on someone else's infrastructure.
