About
GitClear is a developer-friendly Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) platform designed to help engineering managers and developers gain full visibility into their development process through 65+ metrics covering velocity, AI usage, code quality, and developer experience. The platform instruments everything from Jira bug/feature breakdowns and planned vs. unplanned work graphs to Google DORA benchmarks — all backed by industry-leading research. GitClear's AI-powered PR review tool is proven to reduce code review time by 30%, while its visual AI changelogs (Snap Changelogs) give open-source projects a compelling way to communicate progress to stakeholders and funders. The platform also offers a free AI Code Quality Report, cited by 10+ major publications, which analyzes hundreds of millions of changed lines to assess how LLM-generated code impacts software maintainability and technical debt. Key capabilities include the Commit Activity Browser for ticket-level progress tracking and predictive completion estimates, a Tech Debt Inspector that helps teams build executive-ready cases for addressing legacy code, and DORA metric benchmarks validated by Google's data science team. GitClear integrates natively with AI coding assistant APIs and supports teams ranging from startups to large enterprises with 500+ developers. Trusted by organizations like GitKraken and Bank of Georgia, GitClear has helped 10,000+ engineering teams move faster while keeping code quality high.
