Docs your team will open

Clean React UI with dark mode. It looks like a product built in 2025, because it is.

πŸ“¦

pip install and go

Point it at your dbt project and go. Works with your existing manifest and catalog. You keep your data, your hosting, your workflow.

πŸ“¦

See your data architecture at a glance

Configurable data layers group models by staging, transformation, and mart. Spot that mart model pulling from a staging table in two clicks.


Interactive lineage explorer

See your full DAG organized by data layer. Click any model to see its dependencies, tests, and documentation. Search across your entire project from one bar.

Column-level lineage

Expand any model to see its columns. Trace a single column upstream through staging to source. Dashed lines show you the exact path.

Column details with lineage badges

Every column shows its type, description, upstream sources, and downstream consumers. Your PM can look up a field without asking you.
