Description
Code review tools that use AI usually mean sending your source code to a third-party cloud service, which is a non-starter for teams with strict privacy requirements or simply a preference for keeping everything in-house. Proval is built for exactly that situation: it's a code review bot you run yourself, on your own servers, using either your own API keys or a fully local language model.
Proval integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo, Gitea, and Codeberg to automatically review pull requests, grouping files and using specialist sub-agents per group, leave inline comments on affected lines, and reply to issue threads. It supports any OpenAI-compatible API as well as fully local models via Ollama, tracks token usage for cost visibility, and runs on a self-hosted stack (Bun, Hono, SvelteKit, SQLite) deployable via Docker or Kubernetes.
💬 Our review
The short version: Proval is a solid pick specifically for teams that want AI code review but can't or won't send code to a third-party cloud service, the self-hosted, bring-your-own-model design is the whole point.
Cloud-based competitors like CodeRabbit or Sourcery offer more polished, zero-setup experiences and continuously updated review quality, but they require sending your code off-premises; Proval trades some of that polish for full control over where your code and review data live, including the option to use a fully local Ollama model with zero external calls at all. Support for lesser-covered platforms like Forgejo, Gitea, and Codeberg is a genuine plus for self-hosted Git users. Worth adopting if privacy or self-hosting is a hard requirement; if it isn't, a managed cloud reviewer will likely need less setup and tuning.
