Read the diff closely.
Then make it someone else's job.

loupe is a local git diff viewer with an Azure DevOps-style review UI and zero runtime dependencies. Leave inline comments on any line, then export them — with surrounding code context — as a structured review prompt for Claude or any coding agent.

@@ what you get @@
+comments that compile

Single lines, drag-selected ranges, removed lines, both sides of a split, whole files. One click turns them into ordered markdown with ±2 lines of diff context.

+word-level diff marks

See exactly what changed inside a modified line — not just that it changed.

+tags with intent

Label a comment nit, issue, question, or praise. The export prefixes it **[tag]** so the model knows severity from tone.

+keyboard-first review

j/k walk files, v marks them viewed, s splits, c compiles. Press ? in the app for the full map.

+live against the worktree

Refresh re-runs git diff in place, untracked files appear as additions, and a progress bar tracks how much you've actually read — built for reviewing while an agent keeps editing.

+four themes, zero deps

Light, dark, and two Claude-inspired warm variants. Bun + Preact, buildless, nothing to install but the repo itself.

Vibes are not a spec. loupe compiles every comment, anchored to its exact lines:

## Code Review — working tree — 2026-06-10 ### src/server/router.ts — Lines 41–42 39 | export function createServer(ctx) { 40 | return Bun.serve({ > 41 | + port, > 42 | fetch: (req) => route(ctx, req), **[issue]** validate the port before binding — a clear error beats a stack trace. ## Summary: 1 comment(s) across 1 file(s)
