Architecture
See the components, services and data stores that make a system work.
ARCHITECTURE, CONNECTED.
Your system.
A clearer picture.
Turn descriptions and GitHub repositories into architecture diagrams you can explore, refine and share.

THE DESCRIPTION
“A catalog app: customers call an API gateway; a catalog service serves items from PostgreSQL.”
4 diagram typesCommit-pinned source evidenceSVG, PNG & JSON exportsLocal / private mode
A SHORTER PATH TO UNDERSTANDING
Start with what you have.
An idea in plain English. A public repository. A system you want to explain.
- 01
Describe or import
Describe your components and connections, or point to a public GitHub repository. Repository analysis reads source without running its code.
- 02
Follow the connections
Find a component, inspect a relationship or trace a path through the diagram. See what came from your description, source code or an inference.
- 03
Make it yours
Refine the diagram in words. Download an SVG, PNG or JSON file for a design discussion, project handoff or README.
ONE SYSTEM. DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
The view that fits the question.
Sequence
Follow a request through the participants, one interaction at a time.
ER / data model
Understand entities, fields and the relationships between them.
Component detail
Explore a component and the responsibilities inside it.
BUILT TO BE QUESTIONED
A diagram with reasons
behind its connections.
Architecture diagrams are useful when you can inspect their assumptions. Archwoven makes those assumptions visible.
Explore the code and measured results (opens in a new tab)- Evidence, where it exists
- Source-supported claims cite files and lines at the analysed commit. Spring Boot and FastAPI have framework extractors; other repositories receive a bounded module and import map.
- Structure before pixels
- The model returns structured data. Schema and graph checks validate it before deterministic code renders the diagram. Validation does not prove that every architectural claim is correct.
- Unknowns stay visible
- Described, source-supported, inferred and proposed connections are distinguished. Coverage limits and unanswered questions travel with the diagram.
- Choose where processing happens
- Hosted generation uses an external AI provider. The local deployment uses Ollama, keeps data on your machine and enforces its outbound network boundary.
BEFORE YOU START
A few useful answers.
Can I generate a diagram from any GitHub repository?
You can submit public GitHub repositories within the import limits. Spring Boot and FastAPI get framework-aware extraction. Other repositories get a bounded map of source modules and imports, with gaps disclosed. Private repositories can be analysed from a local clone using the local deployment.
Does exploring this page use AI?
No. The example above is a recorded diagram. Opening the workspace also does not start generation. AI is requested when you submit a description, analyse a repository, refine a diagram or expand a component.
What happens when the free AI allowance is used up?
New AI calls pause with a message explaining the applicable limit. Viewing and downloading an available diagram do not make another AI call. Download files you want to keep; hosted recovery copies are temporary.
Can I use Archwoven privately?
Yes. Run the local deployment with Ollama. Local mode keeps generation on your machine. Setup instructions and limitations are in the repository README.
