What it does
CodeViz builds a visual map of your codebase that makes it easy to understand and navigate. Developers spend 70% of their day reading code to gather context - our VS Code extension fixes that! Get on-demand diagrams, from system architecture to function calls.
Understand your codebase at a glance with intelligent code visualization
By speeding up PR review, visualizing tickets, and aligning on architecture. Built for living architecture. CodeViz keeps your documentation in sync. CodeViz analyzes large codebases across all major languages to build a complete architecture model, with stakeholder-ready views. Every element is fully editable and links back to the source code.

One architecture model shared across the team. Branch it for proposed designs, publish tailored views, and store versions in Git so updates are reviewable and traceable. Modeled on…from codeviz.ai
