lilbee runs and manages your models: chat, embedding, vision, and rerank, placed across every GPU you have. It puts them to work as a search engine you can talk to, over your files, notes, code, and the web, where every answer cites the exact file and line. It crawls websites into your library, launches your coding agents on local models, and hands any MCP-aware agent cited answers from everything you've indexed. The same engine backs the Obsidian community plugin, so your vault gets all of it without a terminal. Ask in plain English. No containers, no networking, nothing else to install or set up.

And it is private. Your files, the index, the embeddings, your questions, and the answers stay on your machine. lilbee sends no telemetry and needs no account. It contacts a cloud provider only when you set an API key for it, in lilbee's settings or in the provider's own environment variable. Then it checks once that the key works, and sends your questions only to a cloud model you pick.

ask lilbee "what is lilbee in one sentence?" and get a cited answer drawn from its own README

It's all one program: no separate model server, vector database, or container to stand up. lilbee runs the models and keeps the index itself. Reach it as a terminal app, CLI, Model Context Protocol server, HTTP API, or Python library. Close it and it's gone, or run it as a service to keep it warm. Everything runs on your computer; it uses a cloud model only when you pick one.

Models are no different: lilbee has its own model manager and multi-GPU fleet, built on llama.cpp, so one executable does everything (browse Hugging Face, download a model, give it a role, run it on Metal / Vulkan / CUDA). You don't need Ollama or LM Studio at all: the architectures lilbee runs are behind most of the 190,000+ GGUF repos on Hugging Face, with representatives verified on real GPUs. If you already use them, point lilbee at your existing setup and keep your models.

Tutorial reel: every demo on this page, plus the extras that don't fit here, with long-form captions at lilbee.sh/tutorial.
## ⚠️ Beta software lilbee is in active beta development. Every release on PyPI is a pre-release; you must use --pre (or uv's --prerelease=allow) when installing. Interfaces, command names, and on-disk formats may shift between betas. Feedback, bug reports, and issues are very welcome; that's the whole point of the beta. Latest pre-release (always): lilbee on PyPI →

Highlights

  • Private by default. The models, the index, and every question and answer stay on your machine. No telemetry, no account. lilbee contacts a cloud provider only when you set its API key: once to check the key, then only for a cloud model you pick.
  • Answers cite the source line. Click a citation, jump to the file at the exact line; when the answer isn't in your library, lilbee says so instead of inventing one.
  • It works, and the demos prove it. Every GIF and reel here is recorded live on real hardware, nothing staged, backed by 100% test coverage, full typing, and CI on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
  • One command to running. Install, run lilbee, pick a model that fits your machine from the catalog, and you're chatting.
  • Reads almost anything: 90+ formats and 150+ languages across documents, scanned pages, spreadsheets, ebooks, web pages, and source code.
  • Chunks that stand on their own. Prose and code are split differently so each piece keeps its meaning, which is where most of the retrieval quality lives.
  • A real search engine on top, ranking every result by how well it answers you, with 50+ tunable knobs and sane defaults.
  • It brings and runs the models itself, on Metal, Vulkan, or CUDA, with no server to point at and no cloud account. Browse Hugging Face, pull a model, give it a role (chat, embedding, vision, rerank).
  • A model too big for one card runs across all of them, sized with gguf-parser and tensor-split automatically, or pinned by hand. Run a model bigger than one card.
  • Already on Ollama or LM Studio? Keep them. lilbee's own manager covers the same architectures they run, and their models also show up in the same pickers.
  • One install, many surfaces: TUI, CLI, MCP server, REST API, and Python library, so your coding agent answers from your real files, with citations.
  • Everything in one file, nothing to operate. The binary bundles the whole stack (search engine, crawler, MCP + HTTP servers, TUI, Python, llama.cpp) in ~360-530 MB, or ~0.7-1.3 GB with CUDA; it loads on demand and nothing stays running.
  • Per-project libraries. One library for everything, or one per project.

Linux runtime requirements

The Linux x86_64 wheel and binary bundle the Vulkan loader, so they start on any distro. GPU detection still reads adapters through the system loader, though: without libvulkan1 lilbee treats the machine as CPU-only. Most desktop distros (Ubuntu 22.04+, Pop!\_OS, Mint) ship it; on bare Arch / Fedora / Alpine images install it once: sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader (Arch / Manjaro), sudo dnf install vulkan-loader (Fedora, RHEL), or sudo apt-get install libvulkan1 (Debian, Ubuntu).

Hardware requirements

Standalone mode needs nothing but your machine. No cloud required. Minimum: Apple Silicon Mac, or a 64-bit Intel/AMD CPU from 2013+ (older CPUs: On older CPUs), or an ARMv8 Linux box; 8 GB RAM, 2 GB disk.

</details>

Install

Two routes, and the difference matters:

  • A self-contained bundle (start here): the standalone binary, or the Homebrew / AUR / Nix / Docker / Flatpak / Snap / Scoop builds that wrap it. It carries its own Python runtime, llama.cpp, the model engine, and the optional extras, so there is nothing else to install and nothing to assemble. The trade-off is one large download and a small cold-start cost the first time it self-extracts.
  • Into your own Python with pip or uv (Python 3.11 to 3.14), in its own section below. This is the developer route: it installs lilbee as a library in an environment you manage, and the model engine is a separate extra from a separate index that you have to ask for. Take it if you are working on lilbee or importing it into your own code.

Have a discrete GPU? The bundled builds and the Vulkan engine already use it. There are faster vendor builds too: NVIDIA (CUDA) and AMD (ROCm).

No external services either way; lilbee downloads and runs models locally. Optional, for scanned-PDF / image OCR: Tesseract (brew install tesseract / apt install tesseract-ocr) or a GGUF vision model.

HowCommandNotes
**Homebrew**brew tap tobocop2/lilbee && brew install lilbeemacOS (Apple silicon and Intel) / Linux x86_64. Bundled build; clears the macOS quarantine flag for you.
**AUR**paru -S lilbeeArch Linux. Wraps the Linux x86_64 binary; works with yay / pacaur / any helper.
**Docker**docker run --rm -v lilbee-data:/home/lilbee/data ghcr.io/tobocop2/lilbee:latest --helpGHCR image, tagged by version and latest. Data lives at /home/lilbee/data. Mount a volume there. :cuda and :rocm tags carry the vendor builds.
**Nix**nix run github:tobocop2/lilbeeNixOS, nix-darwin, or any host with nix. On Linux the flake bundles glibc, libgomp, and vulkan-loader so it runs on bare NixOS.
**Flatpak**flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists lilbee https://tobocop2.github.io/flatpak-lilbee/lilbee.flatpakrepo && flatpak install lilbee io.github.tobocop2.lilbeeLinux x86_64, any distro with flatpak. Needs the [Flathub remote](https://flathub.org/setup) for the runtime. Run with flatpak run io.github.tobocop2.lilbee, or make it a plain command: alias lilbee='flatpak run io.github.tobocop2.lilbee' in your shell rc (swap in .cuda / .rocm / .compat for a vendor build). flatpak update picks up new releases. Data lives under ~/.var/app/io.github.tobocop2.lilbee/. Prefer one file? Grab lilbee.flatpakref from the [release](https://github.com/tobocop2/lilbee/releases/latest) and flatpak install ./lilbee.flatpakref.
**Snap**curl -LO https://github.com/tobocop2/lilbee/releases/latest/download/lilbee-linux-x86_64.snap && sudo snap install ./lilbee-linux-x86_64.snap --dangerous --classicLinux x86_64. Sideloaded, so snapd flags it --dangerous (it just means unsigned) and it won't auto-update; rerun the same command to upgrade.
**Scoop**scoop install git; scoop bucket add lilbee https://github.com/tobocop2/scoop-lilbee; scoop install lilbeeWindows x86_64. Scoop needs git to add a bucket, so the first command installs it (a no-op when present). Reads your NVIDIA driver version and installs the matching CUDA build (555.85+ gets cu125, 551.61+ gets cu124), otherwise the Vulkan build. It says which one it picked. scoop update lilbee upgrades. Added the bucket before 2026-09-08? It moved to its own repository, so run scoop bucket rm lilbee and add it again; your install is untouched.
**npm**npm install -g lilbeemacOS / Linux x86_64 / Windows, Node 18+. A small launcher: on first run it detects your hardware (CUDA, ROCm, Metal, or the AVX-baseline build), downloads the matching standalone binary of the latest release, verifies it, and caches it. lilbee prepare does that ahead of time; npx -y lilbee mcp runs the MCP server for agent hosts.
**Standalone binary**[download for your platform &rarr;](https://github.com/tobocop2/lilbee/releases/latest)One file, own Python runtime, no pip needed. Linux needs glibc 2.28+; the macOS / Windows builds are unsigned (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./lilbee-macos-arm64 if Gatekeeper blocks it).

Developer install: pip and uv

For working on lilbee, or importing it as a library into an environment you manage. Everything below needs the [engine] extra and its index; the bundled builds above do not.

<details> <summary><strong>pip / uv install commands, and the engine index per hardware</strong></summary>

HowCommandNotes
**pip**pip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/cpu/Python 3.11 to 3.14. Runs on any x86_64 CPU with AVX2 (2013+; older CPUs: [On older CPUs](#on-older-cpus-pre-avx2)). Swap the index for your hardware, below.
**uv**uv tool install --prerelease=allow 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/cpu/Same wheels as pip; fetches a Python for you if you need one.
**From source**git clone https://github.com/tobocop2/lilbee && cd lilbee && uv sync && uv run lilbeeNeeds git and uv. uv sync resolves the in-repo engine package, but CI is what fills its bin/, so a checkout has no engine binaries: install the [engine] extra from the index below, or point LILBEE_LLAMA_SERVER_PATH at your own llama-server.

The engine. llama-server runs every model, and it ships as the [engine] extra rather than as part of lilbee. It is not on PyPI: the CUDA and ROCm wheels run 444 MiB to 863 MiB each, several times PyPI's default 100 MiB per-file limit, so every backend is published from lilbee's own PEP 503 package index at lilbee.sh. That is what --extra-index-url is for, and the index you pick is the build you get: cpu is compiled with every GPU backend off, metal publishes only a macOS arm64 wheel, vulkan only Linux and Windows ones.

HardwareIndexCommand
**NVIDIA (CUDA)**cu125pip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/cu125/
**AMD (ROCm)**rocmpip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/rocm/
**Apple silicon**metalpip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/metal/
**Other GPUs**vulkanpip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/vulkan/
**No GPU**cpupip install --pre 'lilbee[engine]' --extra-index-url https://lilbee.sh/cpu/

Leave the extra off and lilbee still installs and starts. The first thing that needs a model then fails with an error naming the engine and repeating the command for your hardware, so it is recoverable rather than mysterious, but it is a step you have to take.

Install size (single-file download, models excluded)

Download sizes in decimal GB/MB (bytes ÷ 1000), measured from each project's own release artifacts, linked. lilbee and Ollama measured 2026-07-25 from their release APIs (lilbee v0.6.90b420.dev726, Ollama v0.32.4).

\* ROCm is the one figure not yet from a release: it is the binary CI builds today, measured, and lands here unchanged at the first release that carries it.

</details>

Already on Ollama or LM Studio? lilbee runs on top of them. Prefer a GUI to the terminal? The Obsidian plugin maps lilbee's model manager and search to a visual interface inside your vault.

Quick start

Two recommended ways to use lilbee, depending on whether you're the one driving:

  • Run lilbee for the full-screen terminal app. On first run you pick a chat model straight from the catalog, fit-checked against your hardware, then you index files, search, and chat without leaving the TUI. The Settings screen exposes every retrieval knob (search depth, distance threshold, reranker, chunking) so you can tune lilbee to your library shape.
  • Connect it to your agent over MCP. Any MCP-aware coding agent calls lilbee_search / lilbee_add and gets back cited snippets it can quote. Agents can also fine-tune lilbee on the fly via lilbee_settings_set. Drop in the lilbee-mcp skill and the agent reads the full surface: every tool, every retrieval knob, and when to widen for prose vs narrow for code. See A reference for AI agents.

Retrieval defaults are sane, and every setting is tunable from env vars or config.toml, most of them from the TUI, MCP, and the HTTP API too; the settings reference has a column per surface. The CLI and HTTP API cover scripting and headless runs. See the usage guide.

Optional extras

These only matter for a pip or uv install: add the name in brackets, e.g. pip install --pre 'lilbee[engine,crawler,litellm]' (combine multiple, and --extra-index-url still works). The standalone binary and the Homebrew / AUR / Nix / Docker / Flatpak / Snap builds already include all four, which is why they need none of this. [engine] is the one that is not really optional; lilbee works fine without the other three. See the install commands in the usage guide for any uv install that has crawler in the extras list.

ExtraWhat it adds
[engine]The bundled llama-server that runs your models. Published on lilbee.sh rather than PyPI, so it needs the --extra-index-url for your hardware; without it nothing can load a model.
[crawler]Index websites alongside your files: crawl a docs site or wiki to markdown, then search it offline.
[litellm]Bridge to hosted model providers for chat, vision, or embeddings while other roles stay local. The TUI flags when a hosted role is active.
[graph]Concept-graph search: extracts the ideas in your documents and uses how they relate to surface matches plain keyword search misses. No extra model calls.

See the full guide on optional extras for configuration.

A reference for AI agents

Once configured, lilbee plugs into whatever agent you use, over MCP. Feed it your project's docs, your dependency source, your API docs, your design notes; the agent stops making up function names and instead reads the actual code, cites file and line, and says it doesn't know when the answer isn't in your library. The lilbee-mcp skill is the single entry point: drop it into .opencode/skills/ or .claude/skills/ and it documents every tool, the workflows the agent should follow, and points to drop-in AGENTS.md and worker-subagent starters under examples/agent-integration/. This works with cloud-model agents too; lilbee stays local, and only the queries and the returned chunks reach the model.

Your files, the search index, and the embeddings stay on your computer. The agent calls lilbee_search and gets back cited snippets with file and line. The agent reels above show this live: each pane reads and searches this repository through lilbee.

Supported models

lilbee's engine is llama.cpp, so lilbee runs what llama.cpp runs: any GGUF model built on one of the architectures below. The list comes from the bundled engine itself and grows with every engine update.

How lilbee compares

lilbee is built for consumer hardware and for people who don't want to babysit infrastructure. It isn't another model server you point an app at; it's a local search engine with the model runner built in. One install gives you the whole stack in a single executable:

  • A search engine over your files, with answers that cite the source line, not just a model to chat with.
  • A managed fleet, chat, embedding, vision, and reranking, spread across every GPU in the machine behind a load-balancing router, not one model loaded at a time.
  • Everything bundled: model manager, search engine, web crawler, MCP server for coding agents (native opencode and hermes), HTTP server, TUI, and Python, in one file.

It sits between two worlds: the desktop runners that get a model chatting on your machine (Ollama, LM Studio), and vLLM, the server you stand up to push one model to a cluster of users. lilbee runs models to do retrieval over your files, and places that whole stack across the GPUs in the machine.

📌 简介

lilbee 是一个开箱即用的本地数据与代码搜索引擎,旨在让你可以直接通过对话的方式与本地文档和代码库进行交互。它不仅是一个搜索工具,更是一个集成了检索与对话能力的智能助手,能够理解你的意图并基于本地上下文提供精准回答。

⚡ 功能介绍

lilbee 提供全方位的交互体验,支持 TUI、CLI、MCP server、REST API 以及 Python library,通过简单的 `pip install` 即可完成部署,无需额外配置守护进程、推理服务器或向量数据库。其核心亮点在于回答会精准引用源代码行,点击即可跳转;同时支持索引包括 PDF、Office 文档、电子书及 150 多种语言的源代码在内的各类文本数据。

📋 环境依赖

lilbee 采用 Standalone 模式,完全在本地运行,无需云端连接。硬件最低要求为 Apple Silicon Mac、2013 年以后的 64 位 Intel/AMD CPU 或 ARMv8 Linux 设备,配备 8 GB RAM 及 2 GB 磁盘空间。在 Linux 环境下,x86_64 版本需确保系统已安装 `libvulkan1`(如 Ubuntu 22.04+),否则在 Arch、Fedora 或 Alpine 等精简镜像中可能会因缺少 Vulkan loader 而导致 `lilbee self-check` 失败。

🛠 安装步骤(Docker/pip/源码)

安装方式分为两条路径:1. Python 环境安装:使用 `pip` 或 `uv` 安装(支持 Python 3.11 至 3.14),这种方式体积更小,且能根据机器硬件自动选择最优的 CPU 执行路径,适合已有 Python 环境的开发者。2. 独立捆绑包安装:提供 Standalone binary、Homebrew、AUR、Nix 或 Docker 构建版本,无需安装任何依赖,开箱即用。此外,如果你正在使用支持 MCP 的 Agent,可以直接通过 Agent 完成自动化配置。

🚀 使用教程

根据你的使用场景,lilbee 提供两种启动方式:如果你希望进行沉浸式交互,可以直接运行 `lilbee` 进入全屏终端应用(TUI),通过向导选择聊天与 Embedding 模型,并对文件进行索引;随后你可以在 TUI 中进行搜索与对话。TUI 内置了详尽的 Settings 界面,允许你精细调节搜索深度、距离阈值、Reranker 及分块(Chunking)策略,以适配不同规模的本地库。

⚙️ 配置说明(含 MCP / env)

对于通过 `pip` 或 `uv` 安装的用户,可以通过可选扩展进行增强,例如使用 `pip install --pre 'lilbee[crawler,litellm]'` 来添加爬虫或 LiteLLM 支持。而使用 Standalone binary 或 Docker 等构建版本时,所有功能已预装完毕。此外,若需通过 HTTP REST API(如 Obsidian 插件或自定义 GUI)调用 lilbee,建议通过 OS 启动器将其作为服务运行,以保持 HTTP server 处于热启动状态,避免冷启动延迟。

🔄 工作流/模块

lilbee 正在积极集成 Opencode 支持,未来将实现对多种 GGUF 格式本地模型的 Tool-calling 支持。通过集成 `lilbee-mcp` skill,你可以将 lilbee 注册为 MCP server 并放入 `.opencode/skills/` 或 `.claude/skills/` 目录中。这样,任何支持 MCP 的编程 Agent(如 Claude)都能直接调用 lilbee 进行库搜索、模型切换及检索参数调优,实现智能化的本地知识检索工作流。
