CodeCrab is a native desktop app that reviews Pull Requests in seconds using your local CLIs. 100% client-side — your code never leaves your machine.

I built CodeCrab as a 100% Local-First desktop app to fix my own code review routine. Now with AI we generate code super fast, but reviewing the mountain of Pull Requests that get created became a bottleneck. To solve my own workflow I built CodeCrab, a desktop app to speed up code reviews with AI 100% locally. I use CodeCrab every day and it greatly increased my code review speed. 🔒 100% Local-First: Your code never leaves your machine and is never uploaded to third-party servers. 💰 No extra costs: Directly reuse your Claude Code tokens or subscription. ⚡ Parallel reviews: Run 5, 10, or more reviews at the same time in the background while you do something else. 🎯 Human-in-the-loop: Shows you bugs and missing tests in a clean interface so you make the final decision.

Really cool! Does it also use local LLM models? What do you recommend hardware wise for that to work 32gb macbook m5 etc or better specs? Whats your experience around this?
