Compass

Local-first knowledge graph engine that turns a codebase into a searchable, visualizable graph for AI agents.

Desktopfreeglobal

Compass is a free, local-first knowledge graph engine, written in Rust, that turns a codebase into a searchable, queryable, and visualizable graph, with no embeddings, vector database, or model credentials required. It offers a deterministic query language, versioned graph snapshots tied to exact Git commits, a VS Code extension, and native integration so AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex get focused structural context. It's built for developers and AI coding agents who need to understand an unfamiliar codebase's architecture and change impact, evolved from the earlier Graphify project.
