Notes for you, not for the whole pull request
Write on any lines while you review. Notes stay in your browser until you decide otherwise.
- Self-review your AI codeYou ship more code written with AI. Note what looks off, send the notes to your AI to fix, and nothing appears on the pull request.
- Side notes in a team reviewKeep your own questions and reminders while the team discusses. Nobody sees them.
- Publish only what helpsTurn any note into a GitHub review comment in one click. The rest stay private.
Ask your AI about the code you doubt
Open notes become one prompt with the file, lines and code. Nothing goes to a server or into a link.

Big pull requests are mostly noise
Reviewers keep asking GitHub for the same fixes. PR Sift ships them today.

Moved and renamed files
Thousands of moved files bury a handful of real changes.
Hide renamed files with one chip.

Lock and generated files
They count as files to review and hold your progress back.
Shift-click .lock once, hidden for good.

Huge pull requests
The Files changed page gets slow and hard to follow.
Lazy rendering stays fast at 500 files.

Include or exclude in one click
Chips come from the pull request itself.
- Click shows only that type or change.
- Shift-click hides it on every pull request.
- + type adds endings like .blade.php or .test.ts.
Open and close whole folders
One folder, its subfolders, or the whole tree.
- Subtree expands or collapses everything inside.
- All folders in one click.
- Search opens the tree to the match.
Jump to a category
Files grouped the way reviewers read them.
- Tests and their helpers.
- Migrations and schema changes.
- Translations config and CI.
Never read a file twice
Viewed files leave the list. The ring shows what is left.
- Folders marked viewed at once.
- Progress that ignores search and filters.
- New push brings changed files back.
Resolve as you go
Resolved notes leave the diff and the prompt.
- Resolve with one click on the note.
- Show resolved when you want them back.
- Reopen any note later.
Read it your way
Unified or split, for every file or just one.
- Split one file and leave the rest unified.
- Copy the name, path, diff or added lines.
- GitHub colors and syntax highlighting.
Light, dark or your system
GitHub colors in both themes. Switch from the palette button, or let your device decide.

Questions
Is PR Sift free?
Yes, for everyone, including at work. The source code is public under the PolyForm Shield license.
Does it send my code anywhere?
No. It only talks to GitHub. Notes go to your clipboard when you copy them.
Do I need a GitHub token?
No. A token is only used to post a note as a review comment.
How is it different from the GitHub file filter?
It combines type and change filters, remembers hidden types, groups files, marks folders as viewed and adds private notes.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Dia, Opera, Vivaldi and other Chromium browsers.
Does it work on private repositories?
Yes, anything you can open on github.com. GitHub Enterprise Server is not supported yet.
