DevBrand analyzes the project you have open in VS Code — its dependencies,
frameworks, product features, backend services, language breakdown, folder
structure, and Git history — and lets you turn that into a downloadable PDF
report.
Deep project analysis — package manager, dependencies, frameworks (40+
signatures), product features (auth/database/routing/API/testing/CI-CD/
styling/state/i18n), backend services (Firebase/Supabase/Amplify/Vercel),
language breakdown, folder structure, and Git history — all computed
locally on your machine.
Editable analysis — review and correct the project name, description,
and add free-text notes before generating a report.
PDF report generation — one click produces a shareable PDF containing
the full analysis, your description, and your notes. No AI provider or
API key required — this is entirely local.

network call, and no backend involved. The PDF report is written directly to
a location you choose via the native save dialog.
