Review Board
Review Board is a web-based tool for reviewing code and a range of other project materials, including images, documentation, presentations, and marketing files. Teams can set review workflows, manage approvals, and keep an audit trail of decisions. Review Bot automates checks using lint, static-analysis, compliance, and security tools. A Python extension framework, REST APIs, webhooks, and RBTools support workflow and integration customization. Review Board can be self-hosted on compatible Linux systems, macOS, or WSL for Windows, including Docker deployments. It can run on private networks and in air-gapped environments; self-hosted servers do not send data to outside services unless administrators configure them to. The product supports multiple code hosts and CI or collaboration integrations. Review Board is open source under the MIT license, and Community is free. Basic costs 6.00 USD per month, billed month-to-month. Power Pack can be tried for 60 days for unlimited users; afterward, two users can continue using it free.
Who it is for
Review Board suits teams reviewing code and other project materials, especially those needing on-premises or air-gapped operation, audit tracking, and multiple source-control systems. It offers options for solo users through enterprise teams.
