Three steps. No account creation. No server to configure.

1

Install PR

Download the app and drag it to your Applications folder. PR is a native macOS app — no Electron, no Docker, no runtime dependencies.

Requires macOS Sequoia or later
Download for macOS
2

Connect GitHub

PR uses the GitHub CLI (gh) for authentication. Install it and log in — PR will detect it automatically.

See the official installation guide and run gh auth login to authenticate.

PR never stores your GitHub token. It delegates all auth to gh.

3

Pick your AI

Install at least one AI CLI. PR calls it as a local subprocess — your credentials, your tokens, your rules.

Switch providers anytime in Settings. No lock-in.

🎉

You're ready.

Open PR, pick a repo, and start reviewing. Use j/k to navigate, v to mark viewed, h/l to switch panes.

Open from Terminal

Launch PR filtered to a specific repository by passing its path with --args:

Terminal
open -n /Applications/PR.app --args /path/to/your/repo

Add a shortcut to your ~/.zshrc to make it even faster:

~/.zshrc
pr() { open -n /Applications/PR.app --args "${1:-.}"; }

Then just run pr from any repo, or pr /path/to/repo.
