What Limn is

Limn shows your team's pull requests across many GitHub repositories on one screen. It tells you what is waiting on you, which pull requests are stuck, which review threads nobody has answered, and what can land now. It also runs AI reviews and AI fixes on your own Claude or Codex sign-in, checks pull requests against their tickets and your reference documents, and measures the review bots you already use. Limn runs on your computer. There is no Limn server and no Limn account.

#What Limn does

• Collects the activity. Limn reads pull requests, reviews, comments, commits and checks from GitHub through your own GitHub CLI sign-in, and keeps a copy on your computer.
• Says whose turn it is. Pending lists everything that is waiting, in tabs. My turn lists only the pull requests where a person is waiting on you.
• Reads every review thread. Each thread gets a state: Resolved, Likely addressed, Replied or Untouched. See What the thread states mean.
• Reviews and fixes with AI, under your control. AI review and AI Fix run on your own Claude or Codex subscription. Nothing is pushed or posted to GitHub except by your press or by an automatic setting you switch on or off.
• Connects the ticket and the docs. With an issue tracker connected, a review checks the change against the ticket's acceptance criteria and your reference documents. See Story checks.
• Measures the team and the bots. Reports shows flow metrics and where open hours go. Bots Monitoring shows what each review bot says and whether people act on it.

#Who it is for

Limn is for developers and engineering managers in small teams, and in teams inside larger organisations, who work across several repositories. It is most useful when more than one person reviews code, when review bots comment on your pull requests, or when you want AI review without giving a third party your code or your GitHub credentials.

#How it is different

• It runs on your machine. Your data stays in a local database in your home folder. Limn uses the GitHub CLI you have already signed in to, and stores no GitHub token of its own. See Limn runs on your machine.
• AI on your terms. The AI features use your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or your own Anthropic API key. You choose the provider, the effort and a spend budget.
• It works with the bots you already have. Limn does not replace CodeRabbit, Copilot or other review bots. It sorts what they say, scores how serious each comment is, and shows which of their threads still need a person.
• It is honest about guesses. Where Limn guesses (for example, Likely addressed or the blast radius chip), it says so.
