Bring your own LLM, bring your own API key. Configurable reviewer agents, secret scanning & redaction, threat detection, and native CI integration — in a single binary.
Works with any LLM provider
Features
A single binary with batteries included. No SaaS middleman sitting between you and your LLM.
Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI, Groq, Cohere, Perplexity — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your keys, your data.
Define reviewer agents in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Give them tools to explore your codebase — read files, search code, or run custom CLI commands.
200+ rules detect and redact secrets before your code ever reaches the LLM. Entropy checks catch what rules miss.
Detect obfuscated payloads, dangerous APIs, supply chain hooks, and backdoors in diffs — before the LLM review even starts. LLM triage cuts false positives.
No runtime, no daemon, no SaaS account. One binary — works locally and in every CI environment.
One price for your whole team. No per-seat licensing, no usage-based billing. Free for personal and open-source use.
