Launching LaraSchema โ€” the successor to LaravelSD.

ยท 3 min read ยท By Maulik Raval

Today we're launching LaraSchema โ€” a visual database schema designer built for Laravel. Drag tables onto a canvas, draw relationships, and export production-ready migrations, models, factories and seeders.

Here's the why, the what, and what's coming next.

Why we built it

For years, Laravel developers reached for LaravelSD (laravelsd.com) when they wanted to design a database visually before writing migrations. It was a paid SaaS, it worked well, and then โ€” it disappeared.

The Laravel community lost the most popular tool for visual schema design overnight, and nobody picked up where it left off. There were generic ERD tools, of course, but none of them spoke Laravel: no Eloquent relationship modeling, no migration export, no pivot table awareness, no factory generation.

LaraSchema fills that gap โ€” and goes further. Everything LaravelSD did, plus model and factory and seeder generation, plus AI-assisted schema design.

What's in the box today

Visual canvas

Drag-and-drop tables on an infinite SVG canvas. Zoom, pan, snap to grid.

Relationship drawing

Click-to-connect tables with automatic FK column creation and cardinality indicators.

Migration export

Production-ready Laravel migrations with all column types, FKs, and pivot tables.

Model generation

Eloquent models with relationships, $fillable, casts(), and traits.

Factory generation

Intelligent Faker methods, state management, FK handling.

Seeder generation

Dependency-ordered seeders with realistic data.

AI schema design

Describe what you're building, get a schema proposal you can edit.

Project sharing

Share read-only links to your designs with teammates.

Free to use โ€” and here's why

LaraSchema is free to use. There's no premium tier hiding in the wings, no feature gates, no team plan you'll be nudged toward. AI features use your own API key, so we don't pay per request on your behalf and we don't need to charge you for it.

The Laravel ecosystem has a tradition of generous, high-quality tooling โ€” Pint, Horizon, Pulse, Octane. LaraSchema fits that mold. If it earns money some day, it'll be through optional adjacent products, never by gating the core.

What's next

Roadmap highlights for the next few months:

Try it now โ€” no account needed.

Open a canvas, drag in tables, draw relationships, and export a full Laravel codebase. Free to use, ready in 60 seconds.
