Files and code
Read the source of your site and export it as a zip.
On this page
Every Modulify site is a real codebase, and the File Explorer tab lets you read it. It is a reader, not a code editor: files open read only, and changes go through chat.
Open the File Explorer
The tab lives behind More in the tab strip. Click More, then File Explorer. It has two sub-tabs, Files and Settings.
Browse the tree
The tree sits on the left under a Files heading. Click a folder to open it and a file to open it in a tab.
Three buttons sit at the top of the tree: Collapse all, Expand all and Search. Search swaps the tree for a search panel where you type at least two characters to match file names and paths, with results capped at 100.
There is also a filter box on the tree itself, placeholded Filter files, which narrows what is displayed without leaving the tree. When nothing matches you get No files match your filter., and on a project with no files yet, No files found.
Cmd or Ctrl with B hides and shows the tree. When the panel is too narrow to hold the tree beside the file, it collapses into a Files button that opens it as a drawer.
Work with open files
Open files stack as tabs across the top. Right click a tab for Close, Close Others, Close to the Left, Close to the Right and Close All. Options that have nothing to act on are greyed out.
With no file open the panel reads No file open and Choose a file from the tree. If the file you had open has since gone, it reads The file may have been deleted.
Read a file
Code opens with line numbers, syntax highlighting, bracket matching and folding. It is read only, so to change something, describe the change in chat.
The toolbar above the file has Copy, which copies the whole file and flips to Copied!, and Download, which saves that single file. On a narrow panel both move into a three dots menu.
Images open as a preview rather than as text. An SVG gets a Code and View switch so you can flip between its markup and the rendered image.
Export the whole site
The Settings sub-tab has one section, Export, described as downloading your whole site as source code you can run anywhere.
Export .zip downloads the full source of your site. It requires a paid plan. On a free plan the button carries a Paid badge and is disabled, with the tooltip Exporting your code requires a paid plan.
From an AI client over MCP
list_files and read_file read the source, and write_file replaces files directly in the running preview.
write_file bypasses the AI entirely, so nothing about the change is explained or reviewed, and it is not captured in version history: restore_version cannot undo it. Take a backup first for anything substantial. It needs the preview to be running, replaces the whole file rather than patching it, and needs the code:write scope, which is unticked by default.
When you want a change described rather than dictated, send_message is the better tool, because the AI reads the surrounding code first.
