I built a macOS menubar app that adds automated code review to Claude Code via Ollama

Showcase

Today I built a macOS menubar app that adds automated code review to Claude Code.

It installs a Stop hook that sends your git diff to an Ollama model for QA evaluation. If it finds critical bugs, Claude gets blocked with actionable feedback.

What it does:

→ One click hook install

→ Local & Ollama cloud models

→ Configurable review weights (correctness, completeness, etc.)

→ Per-project overrides

→ Spinning menubar icon while reviewing

Tested with several cloud models: deepseek-v3.2 catches the most issues (~60s), minimax-m2 is a good balance (~20s).

Built with Swift 6 / SwiftUI, hook script runs via Bun.

Beta DMG up for testing (not signed yet): github.com/darrylmorley/hook-qa/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta1

Would love feedback.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Work continues tomorrow.
