Decoder

Documentation

Decoder turns source code into human-readable knowledge. Read this page in your language using the switcher in the header.

Getting started

Sign in, create a project, upload a ZIP or import any public GitHub repository, pick a file in the tree, then click Explain. Choose your proficiency level and human or technical summary.

Bring your own AI key

In Settings → AI providers, paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM server-side and decrypted only to forward your request — they are never returned to the browser.

Local mode (Ollama / LM Studio)

Install Ollama (https://ollama.com) or LM Studio, then in Settings → Local AI endpoints add the base URL (Ollama: http://localhost:11434, LM Studio: http://localhost:1234) and a default model. The browser calls your machine directly for inference — file bodies are not sent to AI providers. Uploaded files still live in your private server storage.

Security & ownership

You own your code, generated documentation and suggested comments. We never train on user repositories. Every database table uses Row-Level Security scoped to your account.

Your code and generated documentation belong to you. Decoder never trains on your repositories.
