Phabricator is[5] a suite of web-based development collaboration tools, which includes a code review tool called Differential, a repository browser called Diffusion, a change monitoring tool called Herald,[6] a bug tracker called Maniphest, and a wiki called Phriction.[7]

Phabricator integrates with Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. It is available as free software under the Apache License 2.0.

Phabricator was originally developed as an internal tool at Facebook[8] [9] [10] overseen by Evan Priestley. Priestley left Facebook to continue Phabricator's development in a new company called Phacility.

On May 29, 2021, Phacility announced that it was ceasing operations and no longer maintaining Phabricator starting June 1, 2021. A community fork, Phorge, was created and announced its stable release to the public on September 7, 2022.[11]
