LobeHub Project Overview

The directory listings below are a curated map of key locations, not an exhaustive tree. packages/, src/store/, route groups etc. grow over time β€” run ls against the real directory for the current set.

Project Description

Open-source, modern-design AI Agent Workspace: LobeHub (previously LobeChat). This repo is the open-source root (github.com/lobehub/lobehub, package @lobehub/lobehub).

Supported platforms:

  • Web desktop/mobile
  • Desktop (Electron) β€” apps/desktop
  • Mobile app (React Native) β€” separate repo, already launched (not in this monorepo)

Monorepo Layout

Flat layout β€” apps/, packages/, and src/ all sit at the repo root. No git submodules.

Note: Relationship to the Cloud Repo

Show the whole skill (15 more lines)

This open-source repo is consumed by a separate, private cloud (SaaS) repo as a git submodule mounted at lobehub/. The cloud repo provides:

  • src/business/{client,server} and packages/business/* implementations that override the stubs shipped here.
  • Cloud-only routes (e.g. (cloud)/, embed/), cloud-only stores (e.g. subscription/), cloud-only TRPC routers (billing, budget, risk control, …), and Vercel cron routes under src/app/(backend)/cron/.
  • File-resolution order in cloud: @/store/x β†’ cloud src/store/x first, then lobehub/packages/store/src/x, then lobehub/src/store/x. Cloud override wins.

When working in this repo alone, ignore the cloud layer β€” the stubs in src/business/ and packages/business/ are the source of truth here.
