I Built Docify Because Understanding a New Codebase Shouldn't Take Hours

Every developer knows this situation.

You clone an unfamiliar repository. Before writing a single line of code, you're digging through folders, tracing routes, identifying models, and trying to understand how everything connects.

That's why I built Docify.

It's an open-source CLI that analyzes source code locally and helps you:

  • Generate Markdown architecture documentation
  • Discover routes, models, services, and dependencies
  • Generate ER diagrams for supported schemas
  • Explain individual files or entire projects
  • Ask questions about a codebase with source references

Get started:

npx @autodocify/autodocs analyze .

No need to upload your repository to a hosted documentation service.

I'm actively improving Docify and would love feedback from developers working with real projects.
