This looks super interesting - great video! Everything is processed offline, I assume? No code leaves the machine?

Indeed, everything's offline! You don't even need an internet connection to run Sourcetrail :)

Sourcetrail developer here: Pretty solid. We use clang libTooling.

What languages are supported? At least on mobile, there is zero mention of language support outside of testimonials and screenshots. Is it just Java and C++?

The intro video mentions Java, C, and C++.

C# support would be cool too!

Kotlin is definitely on the shortlist for the next language to be supported! Which language we'll pick up exactly depends on the landscape of available tools for that language. Kotlin is pretty new so I guess that there could be a need for Sourcetrail :)
