Shepherd

Shepherd is a macOS app for reviewing GitHub pull requests. It pulls every pull request that needs you, from every repository, into one local, keyboard-driven inbox. You triage, review and merge without opening a browser tab.

Who it is forCopy Anchor Link

Coding agents open pull requests faster than you can read them. Shepherd is for the person who has to review that flood: many repositories, many small pull requests, some from people and some from agents like Claude Code or Copilot.

Each row shows CI state, review state and diff size. Shepherd works from a local database, so the inbox opens fast and stays usable offline. Reviews and merges you queue are sent when GitHub is reachable.
