Question 1

What is CodeLayers?

Accepted Answer

CodeLayers is a zero-knowledge code visualization platform that lets developers view any codebase as an interactive 3D dependency graph on Apple Vision Pro, iPad, iPhone, and the web.

Question 2

How does CodeLayers keep my code private?

Accepted Answer

CodeLayers uses zero-knowledge client-side encryption (AES-256-GCM). All code is encrypted on your machine before leaving it. The server never sees plaintext code. Encryption keys stay in URL fragments and are never sent to the server.

Question 3

What programming languages does CodeLayers support?

Accepted Answer

CodeLayers supports 10 languages via tree-sitter parsing: Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, and Swift.

Question 4

Is CodeLayers free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The web viewer at app.codelayers.ai and the CLI are free to use. The Apple Vision Pro, iPad, and iPhone app is available on the App Store.

Question 5

How do I share a codebase visualization?

Accepted Answer

Share links are generated from the CodeLayers CLI. The encryption key stays in the URL fragment (after the #) so it is never sent to the server. Recipients can decrypt and view the 3D dependency graph directly in their browser.
