About Codocly
Codocly
Codocly reads functions, class logic, API routes, and system architecture to turn a codebase into documentation. The page describes four synchronized spec engines: README files for GitHub repositories, OpenAPI 3.1 API references, C4 architecture guides with ADR traceability, and SRE playbook/user manuals. It lists AST parsing for TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, and Rust, continuous sync on Git pushes, connection via GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or local ZIP import, and custom domain publishing. The site states a 7-day free trial and 'Free to start', but no specific paid plan prices are given on this page.
