LaravelSD was the go-to visual database designer for Laravel — and then it disappeared. LaraSchema was built to fill the gap: a modern Laravel schema designer with drag-and-drop schema design, full relationship modeling, and production-ready migration, model, factory and seeder export.
Everything LaravelSD did — and the things it never got around to.

LaravelSD (laravelsd.com) was a popular visual schema designer for Laravel that was shut down. The site is no longer accessible and the project is no longer maintained. LaraSchema was built specifically to fill that gap.
There's been no public indication that LaravelSD will return. If you depended on it for visual database design and migration export, LaraSchema is a drop-in modern alternative built on Laravel 12, Livewire 4 and Tailwind v4.
LaraSchema is purpose-built as a LaravelSD replacement. It offers drag-and-drop schema design, full relationship modeling, and exports production-ready migrations, Eloquent models, factories and seeders — everything LaravelSD used to do, plus AI-assisted schema design.
