Coverage comes first.
Review analyzed files, skipped content and unresolved relationships.
Keep every layer in view.
Follow relationships, add route waypoints and open the source evidence.
From overview to understanding
Find your place.
Then follow your curiosity.
Navigate a generated source map with the same hierarchy, relationship lenses, multi-point paths and source previews as the example workspaces.
Keep the bigger picture.
Expand folders and files into source modules, classes, functions and methods. Highlight peers, dim unrelated modules and keep your parent context.
Find a place to start.
Choose a source guide by its entry name, module and relationship purpose. See its objects highlighted in the same tree, follow connections, then return to your previous view.
Read the evidence.
Inspect line-numbered source excerpts and the evidence behind a relationship. GitHub source links stay pinned to the analyzed revision.
A map that moves with you
Follow an idea
through the system.
Readable right-angle connections and guided flows make complex relationships easier to explain. Pause motion whenever you need.
Actual app recording. Animated connections indicate direction in a curated map, not live execution or measured traffic.
Bring your own source
Your project.
The complete workbench.
Open a folder, a public GitHub repository, or a webpage. Review what was read, then explore the same layers, paths and source previews.
BROWSER
Open a folder ↗
Select files locally, paste text, or enter a public URL. Local file analysis stays in your browser.
Coverage report included Choose a sourceCOMMAND LINEOne command ↗
skylense open ./project
Analyze and start the full local Web app. Public webpage reading also works without browser CORS restrictions.
Node.js 22+ Read the guideCODING AGENTSConnect your agent ↗
Nine MCP tools and a portable skill. Let your agent analyze, query and inspect a map, then open the full visual workspace.
Same model, same UI Connect an agentComplete indexing is the default. 24 bundled syntax grammars, cached unchanged files, and project-aware reference resolution feed the same workbench. Large maps unfold by module or page; the full graph remains searchable. Unsupported syntax and uncertain dispatch stay explicit.

Beyond the browser
The same map.
Where you work.
Keep your terminal open. Give your coding agent a structured view of the architecture. Both read the same model as the Web app.
Terminal explorer
Explore a generated map from your terminal: expand the tree, search symbols and read the same relationships with your keyboard.
Nine MCP tools
Analyze a source, export its model, then search, inspect, traverse and open the full visual workspace. Connect a client that supports local stdio MCP.

Can I explore my own repository?
Yes. Enter a public GitHub repository above, or choose a local folder, files, webpage or text in the app. Complete eligible-source indexing is the default, with 24 bundled syntax grammars, incremental file reuse and project-aware references. JavaScript/TypeScript also uses the compiler symbol table; Julia preserves possible method targets as marked candidates. The coverage report separates source collection, syntax errors, unresolved semantics and preview excerpts. Large maps expand progressively without deleting analysis data.
How do source guides relate to the tree?
The tree shows where code lives. Source guides group connected objects to read together, with short entry names, module context, categories and exact relationship counts. Browse the current module or all guides; selections stay synchronized with the graph and tree. These are static reading neighborhoods with possible branches, not runtime traces. The full graph remains available for path search and upstream/downstream exploration.
What if a URL cannot be read?
Check that the repository is public and the URL points to a repository or subtree. GitHub rate limits and browser CORS rules can prevent remote reading. You can select a local checkout instead, or use skylense open ./project with the downloadable toolkit. Read the source guide.
Is this a native macOS app?
This release is a browser app with offline HTML, plus a local Node.js toolkit. A native macOS installer is not available yet.
Is Skylense open source?
Skylense is available as a downloadable application preview. Source licensing and commercial rights remain reserved. The attributed examples, bundled parsers and compiler retain their upstream licenses. Read the preview notice.
What happens to an imported model?
Models stay in the current browser session. Syntax facts and verified public GitHub file bytes are cached locally to speed up repeat analysis; selected source files are not uploaded. The local MCP process reads requested public URLs and source files inside an explicitly configured root. Connected agents receive query results according to their own data policies. Read the data boundaries.
What language is the interface?
The preview's interface is primarily Chinese, with source symbols in their original language. This site and the getting-started guides are available in English; a Chinese README is also provided.
