What is it?

Liubai is a personal productivity app that combines notes, calendar events, to-do lists, and tasks in one place, with AI features built in. Cards can carry text, images, multi-level tags, status, and files, and the editor supports lightweight Markdown.

The web client is a PWA built with Vue 3, Vite, and Dexie.js, and it keeps working offline through a service worker. Data syncs to the cloud, and each card can be marked local-only or hidden from AI reading. The backend is built on Laf with cloud functions, and the project is organized as a monorepo that also includes a VitePress documentation site.

AI assistants connect to several large language model providers, including DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, Stepfun, and Zhipu. Reminders and collaborative tasks can run through WeChat, using the official customer service message API and the Chat Tool API for the mini program.

Things to know

  • Some AI and WeChat features need external services and API keys from third parties.
  • Licensed under AGPL-3.0, which requires source disclosure for networked modifications.
