Understand Anything

An open-source tool that combines LLM intelligence with static analysis to help anyone understand any codebase — from junior developers to product managers.

Features

• Knowledge Graph — Automatically maps your codebase into an interactive graph of files, functions, classes, and their relationships
• Multi-Panel Dashboard — Graph view, code viewer, chat, and learn panels in a workspace layout
• Natural Language Search — Search your codebase with plain English: "which parts handle authentication?"
• Tree-sitter Analysis — Accurate structural analysis for TypeScript, JavaScript (more languages coming)
• LLM-Powered Summaries — Every node gets a plain-English description of what it does and why
