About dir-tree
About dir-tree
dir-tree is a local-first browser directory tree generator for developers, technical writers, and teams who need clean project structure documentation.
You can import a local folder, GitHub/GitLab repository, ZIP file, remote ZIP URL, pasted `tree` output, JSON, XML, HTML, or Markdown, then edit the structure, hide noisy nodes, add aligned annotations, and export README-ready ASCII, Markdown, TXT, or JSON. Folder reading, editing, rendering, and export run in your browser, with no sign-up or install required.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make project structure easier to explain, review, teach, and publish.
dir-tree helps turn raw folder hierarchies into polished documentation for README files, developer docs, pull request descriptions, onboarding guides, and technical teaching material, while keeping the workflow simple, browser-based, and privacy-conscious.
