Rift-code

Rift-code is a visual mapping platform that connects to your GitHub repositories and creates interactive architecture diagrams of your codebase. Instead of reading through thousands of lines of code manually, you get a bird's-eye view of how files, modules, and dependencies fit together. You can also ask questions about your code in plain English, and Rift-code will answer with both text explanations and visual highlights on the diagram.

The tool works by scanning your repository — public or private — and building a live architecture map. Nodes represent files or modules, and edges show relationships. Click a node to drill down into its internals. The Ask Lens feature uses AI to interpret natural language queries like 'Where does the authentication flow go?' or 'What dependencies does the payment module have?' and responds with direct answers plus visual callouts on the map. Pricing is straightforward: $1.99 per month for unlimited repo scans, and the first scan is free.

Developers and engineering teams benefit most from Rift-code. It cuts down the time needed to understand unfamiliar codebases, making onboarding faster and refactoring safer. Real-world use cases include mapping a monorepo's structure, reviewing impact zones before a change, and teaching new hires the lay of the land without sifting through documentation. It's a simple, practical tool for anyone who wants to see their code, not just read it.
