Rivendica

modelARch is a visual, AI-assisted domain modeling tool that turns an explicit business model into a generated full-stack application. It is aimed at people who need to validate the model first and then take the resulting code with them.

Model-first application generation

modelARch is a visual and AI-assisted domain modeling tool that helps turn a business operation into an explicit model before generating an application from it. The product centers on a model-first workflow: you describe how the business works, refine the roles, rules, information, and flows, and then generate a full-stack app from that same source.

It is designed for cases where the product is more than a quick prototype and the generated output needs to be inspectable, repeatable, and owned by the team. The site emphasizes deterministic generation, browser-based validation, and a code handoff that includes the source project plus portable MODEL.md and DESIGN.md contracts.

Core capabilities

Discovery by chat

Captures business knowledge in plain language and turns it into a structured model with people, things, actions, rules, triggers, and views.

Visual modeler with live preview

Lets you shape the model and review the application experience in the browser before generating the final app.

Role-specific experiences

Uses the explicit model to shape what different users see, including screens, permissions, and flows.

App stack configuration

Supports choices around backend, frontend, database, cache, and queue so the generated project matches the selected stack.

Full-stack generation

Generates Python/FastAPI backend code and a React/TypeScript frontend from the validated model.

Portable project output

Includes downloadable source code plus MODEL.md and DESIGN.md files so the project can be inspected, run, and extended outside the platform.

Where it fits

  • Turning a working prototype into a product

    Useful when early app ideas need explicit roles, permissions, and workflows instead of another prompt-driven iteration.

  • Modeling operational software

    Fits businesses that need software for bookings, approvals, billing, service delivery, or similar structured processes.

  • Preparing client-delivered code

    Helps teams align on a model and validate it in the browser before handing over code the client can own.

  • Starting a team-owned codebase

    Provides a generated full-stack project with tests and infrastructure choices already made, which can reduce the need to begin from a blank slate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps the business model explicit rather than burying it in prompts.
  • Supports browser validation before code generation.
  • Generates a full-stack project with backend, frontend, migrations, Docker, and tests.
  • Produces code the user can download, inspect, run, and extend.
  • Offers deterministic generation from the same model.

Cons

  • The service is in active development, so features may change.
  • The model stays inside modelARch; there is no model API or intermediate files.
  • The published pricing depends on app size, so total cost is not fixed from the subscription alone.
  • Supported integrations are not clearly documented on the pages provided.

FAQ

What does modelARch do?

It helps you describe a business domain as an explicit model and then generates a full-stack application from that model.

What kind of output does it generate?

The site says it can generate source code, Gherkin specifications, backend and frontend code, Docker, migrations, and tests. The download also includes MODEL.md and DESIGN.md.

Can I review the product before generating code?

Yes. The pricing page says previews are for validation only, not delivery, and the home page describes a browser-first workflow for shaping and checking the product before generation.

Is the code portable?

Yes. The site says you can download, inspect, run, and extend the generated project, and that there is no ongoing subscription needed to keep it.

Is there team or enterprise support?

Yes. The pricing page includes an Enterprise option with invoiced billing and dedicated support, and the contact page invites enterprises to discuss implementation.
