Built for accurate, beautiful READMEs
Six reasons developers reach for ReadmeBuddy when their repo deserves documentation as polished as the code.
AI-grounded descriptions
We feed the model your real package metadata, env vars, scripts and source samples — so the description matches your code, not a generic template.
Deep stack detection
Scans every manifest (package.json, pyproject, Cargo, go.mod, pom.xml…) plus 50+ libraries — Prisma, NextAuth, Stripe, OpenAI, Tailwind, Vitest, you name it.
One-click GitHub commit
Authenticate, pick a branch, and commit the generated README directly to your repo. No copy-paste, no manual upload.
Drag-and-drop sections
Reorder, hide, or restyle sections in the live editor. Pick from 80+ premade badges and switch between minimal, GitHub, or full templates.
Auto-generated banner
Render a sharp project banner with one click — usable as your GitHub social preview or as a hero image inside your README.
Private by design
Public repos are read via the GitHub API; local folders never leave your browser. We don't store your code or your README on any server.
A good README is yourproject's storefront
Good documentation helps people find your work, run it locally, and contribute with confidence.
Discovery & clarity
Visitors decide in seconds whether to try your project. A structured README explains what it does, who it's for, and how to run it — before they read a single line of code.
Faster contributor onboarding
New contributors need install steps, scripts, and conventions. Clear sections reduce back-and-forth in issues and help pull requests land faster.
Less repetitive writing
Boilerplate sections — quick start, tech stack, license — repeat across repos. Automating the first draft keeps you focused on what's actually unique.
Professional first impression
Recruiters, clients, and OSS readers skim the README first. Polished documentation signals that the project is maintained and trustworthy.

Paste a repo or pick a folder
Drop a public GitHub URL, or use your browser's File System Access API to pick a local project. Nothing leaves your machine if you go local.
We analyze the code
Manifests, scripts, source samples, env vars, deployment configs, API routes — all parsed in seconds, no AI guesswork until we have grounded context.
Review and refine
The README opens in a live editor with drag-and-drop sections, 80+ badges, and an AI-rewrite button per section. Tweak until it feels right.
Ship it to your repo
Commit straight to a branch, copy the Markdown, or download a banner image — all from the editor, no copy-paste juggling.
From silent repo to first impression
Same project, two outcomes. See what visitors actually land on.

No description, no install instructions, no idea what this does.
