DiffPilot

Review your code before creating a PR. 100% local.

Catch bugs, security issues, and code smells before they reach your team. DiffPilot brings AI-powered code review directly into your workflow—no cloud uploads, no waiting.

Why DiffPilot?

"I wish I had reviewed that before pushing..."

We've all been there. DiffPilot solves this by making self-review instant and automatic.

Stop pushing code blindly. Get AI-powered feedback before creating a PR.

✅ 100% Local — No cloud, no uploads, your code stays on your machine
