ArchGen: clean layered architecture diagrams, editable by default

Dec 30, 2025

When you have a rough system idea, the hardest part is turning it into a clear diagram that you can actually share. ArchGen focuses on two things: a clean layered layout and easy edits right on the diagram.

Here is what ArchGen does today:

1. Clean layered structure

The output is a simple “layers + modules” layout. Module duties stay short, spacing stays tight, and the overall composition is calm and readable.

2. Edit directly on the diagram

After generation you can edit titles, layer names, module names, and responsibilities. You can delete or reorder modules to quickly refine a first draft into something you can ship.

3. Style and density controls

Pick from multiple styles (Clean, Classic, Dark, Blueprint, Terminal, and more) and density presets (compact, normal, loose) to balance clarity and information density.

4. One-click PNG export (2x)

Export is sized automatically to avoid clipping. It is ready for docs, reviews, or sharing.

5. Share links + auto explanation

Each diagram can be shared with a public link, and the page includes a generated explanation that describes layers, module responsibilities, and key flows.

6. Example library

If you want to explore before writing anything, start with the examples:

ArchGen is for the earliest stage of system design: capture the layers quickly, then refine the diagram through lightweight edits.
If you care about how architecture is explained, I would love to hear what matters most to you.
