Transform your codebase into a clean, semantic architecture map.

Mapify is a powerful VS Code extension that converts complex project structures into readable, architecture-aware project maps with intelligent semantic labels.

Instead of showing only raw folders and files, Mapify understands common software architecture patterns and explains the purpose of directories inside your codebase.

Perfect for:

• 🤖 AI prompts
• 📚 Documentation
• 🏗️ Architecture understanding
• 👥 Team onboarding
• 🚀 Developer productivity
• 🌳 Codebase exploration

Mapify doesn't just print folders.

It recognizes architectural patterns like:

controllers/   ← request handlers
services/      ← business logic
components/    ← UI components
hooks/         ← React hooks
repositories/  ← data access
auth/          ← authentication

It transforms raw filesystem structures into understandable software architecture.

Generate clean project maps instantly.

Example:

my-app/  [next.js app]
├── app/  ← pages / views
├── components/  ← UI components
├── hooks/  ← React hooks
├── lib/  ← utilities
├── services/  ← business logic
├── prisma/  ← ORM layer
├── public/  ← static assets
├── styles/  ← styles
├── package.json
└── tsconfig.json

8 directories, 12 files
Project type: next.js app

Mapify is designed for the AI era.

Instantly generate structured codebase context for tools like:

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• GitHub Copilot
• Cursor
• Windsurf

Instead of manually explaining your project architecture, Mapify generates a clean project overview automatically.

Mapify intelligently detects technologies based on known project files.

And many more.

Generate maps directly from the VS Code Explorer.

Mapify: Generate Map from Here

Or use:

Ctrl + Shift + P
→ Mapify: Generate Project Map

Search for:

Mapify

Or install directly from the marketplace.

1. Open your project in VS Code
2. Open Command Palette:

Ctrl + Shift + P

3. Run:

Mapify: Generate Project Map

1. Open Explorer
2. Right-click any folder
3. Select:

Mapify: Generate Map from Here

Mapify provides several configurable options.

Controls maximum folder depth displayed.

"mapify.maxDepth": 4

Enable or disable semantic folder labels.

"mapify.showSemanticLabels": true

Automatically copy generated map to clipboard.

"mapify.copyToClipboard": true

Mapify recognizes many common architectural conventions.

Mapify automatically ignores unnecessary folders and generated artifacts.

Examples:

node_modules
.git
dist
build
coverage
.cache
.next
target
venv

This keeps output clean and focused.

Modern codebases are huge.

Understanding architecture quickly has become difficult.

Mapify helps developers:

• understand unfamiliar projects,
• visualize structure,
• explain architecture,
• generate AI context,
• improve onboarding,
• create documentation faster.

Instead of reading hundreds of folders manually, Mapify gives you a clean architectural overview instantly.

Paste generated project maps into AI tools for better coding assistance.

Help new developers understand project architecture quickly.

Improve contributor experience by exposing project structure clearly.

Generate architecture trees for README files and docs.

Understand complex repositories faster.

Mapify is built around three core systems:

extension.js   → VS Code integration
tree.js        → recursive tree generation
semantics.js   → semantic architecture understanding

Planned future features:

• AI architecture summaries
• Dependency analysis
• Visual graph mode
• Token-aware AI export
• Interactive tree viewer
• Smart importance ranking
• Monorepo understanding
• Architecture diagrams
• Markdown export
• JSON export
• AI context compression
