ArborescenceASCII is a desktop application that generates ASCII tree representations of folder structures. It provides a clean, text-based visualization of directory hierarchies that can be easily shared, documented, or included in reports.
The application scans any selected folder on your computer and creates a visual tree structure using ASCII characters, similar to the classic tree command but with a modern graphical interface and additional customization options.
Example output:
MyProject/
├── src/
│ ├── main.py
│ └── utils.py
├── docs/
│ └── readme.txt
└── tests/
└── test_main.py
