C4 foundations
The definitive guide to the C4 model
Understand the C4 levels, their audiences, and how to move from system context to implementation detail.
Read articleCreate context, container, and component views from the same reusable elements. Update the model once, navigate from the big picture to detail, and give your team architecture they can trust.






Create architecture elements, connect dependencies, document intent, and arrange every view on a canvas designed for software architecture.
Stop redrawing the same architecture
Traditional diagramming tools store shapes on separate canvases. UxxU stores the systems, containers, components, people, and relationships themselves. Each diagram becomes a view of the same architecture model.
The disconnected workflow
The UxxU workflow
From system landscape to implementation detail
Start with what exists, create only the views people need, and keep every level connected as the architecture evolves.
Add the people, software systems, containers, components, stores, and relationships that make up your architecture.
Reuse those elements to explain the system at context, container, and component level without drawing them again.
Drill from overview to detail, then update the shared model as the architecture changes.
Explore a connected model before signing up
Pan and zoom, then open a linked element to move from context to detail. You are using a live UxxU model, not watching a scripted demo.
Keep architecture in the work
Use the same source to design changes, review dependencies, explain decisions, onboard teammates, and give AI better context.
Move from the system landscape into the detail that matters without searching folders, wikis, or old messages.
Give architects, engineers, product teams, and new starters the same current context before decisions are made.
Give AI workflows structured systems, technologies, and relationships instead of asking them to interpret a flattened image.
Architecture versioning
Explore architecture changes on an isolated project branch while UxxU continues saving automatically. Switch between versions and merge diagrams and model elements back when the change is ready.

General diagramming tools store drawings. UxxU stores architecture elements and relationships, then lets you reuse them across connected C4 views. The result is a navigable model instead of a folder of unrelated canvases.
UxxU supports system context, container, and component diagrams, with linked navigation between levels.
Yes. The free plan includes up to 400 architecture items and does not require a credit card.
Yes. UxxU provides shared workspaces and collaborative editing so a team can evolve the same model instead of maintaining separate copies.
Yes. Projects start on a main branch and can have separate architecture branches that save automatically. UxxU shows branch ancestry and creator information, supports branch switching, and can merge diagrams and model elements with conflict handling.
UxxU uses encrypted AWS infrastructure, secure authentication, encryption at rest for RDS and S3, and documented operational controls. Full details are available on the Security page.
codeToC4 beta
Generate context, container, and component views from your codebase, then refine the result in UxxU. Start with the architecture already present in the code instead of an empty canvas.
Use the repository as evidence for the systems, containers, components, and dependencies already in place.
Connect architecture work to commits, branches, and releases as the codebase changes.
Review the generated views, add missing context, and keep the result connected to the rest of the architecture.
Embeddable diagrams
Embed a live UxxU diagram in product documentation, engineering handbooks, technical articles, and websites. Update the model once instead of replacing screenshots everywhere.
