What’s new.
Pyor is pre-1.0 and moving fast, so we log progress as honest month-level milestones rather than version numbers. Here’s what’s landed.

PR lifecycle management
- Land and manage a PR without dropping to github.com: merge with the repo-allowed method, optional commit-message edit, and delete-branch.
- Close / reopen, toggle draft, update-branch, and enable or disable auto-merge — each confirmed before it fires.
- Request, re-request, and remove reviewers, and dismiss a review with the required reason.
- Every action is gated by your repository permission, so a control you couldn’t use is never shown.
- May 2026
A home for this changelog
- Launched the new marketing site — the same diff-shaped surface you review in, on the web.
- This page is where releases get logged from here on out.
- April 2026
Pre-PR / Local Reviews
- Review a branch before a PR exists — your own work, or one an agent just handed you (desktop only).
- See the committed diff against your base alongside a live bucket of uncommitted changes, both updating as you edit.
- Leave private review notes that never touch GitHub, then export them as a single file to hand to an LLM coding agent.
- Local reviews are persistent and worktree-rooted: a repo can host several at once, each on its own branch, surviving restarts.
- March 2026
The Comments tab
- A dedicated Inbox feed of the comments people wrote at you — inline, file, review-summary, discussion, and commit comments, normalized into one shape.
- Sourced independently of notifications, so a comment that never notified you still shows up, and one that did can still read as unread.
- Each row carries the body, author, reactions, and the diff hunk for inline reviews.
- February 2026
Viewed state, down to folders
- Mark files viewed with bidirectional sync to GitHub — GitHub stays the source of truth across machines.
- Mark whole folders viewed for collapse in the file rail, something github.com doesn’t offer.
- Viewed state survives refreshes, base-ref updates, and force-pushes; changed content clears it, nothing else.
- January 2026
The first review surface
- Inbox, Mine, and Participating lenses over your open PRs, with native notifications for new activity.
- A hybrid layout: familiar top tabs around a three-column Changes pane with rich diffs and a filterable file rail.
- Full review writing: inline and file comments, suggestions, thread replies and resolution, and approve / request-changes / comment.
- Connects straight to GitHub from your machine — no server, your token in the OS keychain.
