Graphlit
Draw the architecture. Keep the code honest.
What it is
Graphlit turns a whiteboard sketch of your system into a typed architecture graph, then keeps that graph honest against your real codebase. It scans brownfield repos to derive their existing architecture, runs scoped AI build tasks against the diagram, and re-checks after every commit whether the code still matches the drawing. There's a free forever plan for a single project with unlimited drawing, drift detection, and code export, so solo developers can try the whole loop before paying anything.

What you get free vs paid
Verdict
Pros
- Brownfield import derives an architecture graph from a codebase you already have, instead of forcing a greenfield restart
- Drift detection re-verifies code against the diagram after every commit, catching design decay early
- Scoped build tasks touch only the files tied to a specific node, with automatic rollback if a task fails
- Architecture contracts let teams enforce boundaries as code, not just as a stale wiki diagram
- Free plan includes real functionality (drift detection, health scan, security audit) with no card required
Cons
- Free tier is capped at one project, so it's a trial of the workflow more than a daily driver for multi-repo teams
- Agent build tasks are metered by plan (200/month on Pro, 1,000/month on Team), which can run out on active projects
- Still a beta product — pricing is currently locked for 12 months for early adopters, which signals the plans may shift later
- CI contract enforcement and PR drift reports require the Team plan, so smaller paid users don't get the full enforcement loop
A sharp fit for teams tired of architecture diagrams going stale the moment code changes — worth trying free on one project before committing to Pro or Team.
