Bevel - Documentation and Visualization for your codebase in just one click
👋 Hey Product Hunt — I'm Juan, one of the co-founders of Bevel.
Bevel is your AI-augmented documentation and diagramming tool for codebases, and we're on a mission to democratize code understanding — starting with legacy systems where context is often the hardest thing to find.
Over the years, we've seen dev teams waste hours (or days) trying to answer simple questions like: "What does this function do?" or "Why was this written this way?" Worse yet, outdated docs and tribal knowledge slow everything down — from onboarding to refactoring to rewriting.
That's why we built Bevel: A VS Code extension that gives you always up-to-date docs and diagrams, directly in your IDE.
🛠 What makes Bevel different:
Powered by static code analysis – not LLM guesses
Auto-updated docs & diagrams that evolve with your code
Built for complex, real-world systems like banking, insurance, automotive
Support for 'legacy' languages like COBOL
No manual setup — just install the VS Code extension, open your code, and go
Comes with a local LLM, so you can turn off your wifi and still use it ;)
Whether you're migrating a legacy system, onboarding a new dev, or just trying to make sense of a spaghetti codebase — Bevel brings the missing context straight to you.
💬 We'd love your feedback:
Try Bevel for free (personal use is 100% free)
If you're a team working with legacy code, reach out for early access to team features
Join us in shaping the future of developer tools
Built with ❤️ by devs who've been stuck in "what the hell is this code doing?" one too many times.
We're excited to hear what you think!
