lilbee

Self-hosted local AI stack that turns your files and notes into a searchable engine.

Desktopfree

lilbee is a self-hosted local AI stack that manages chat, embedding, vision, and rerank models across available GPUs and turns them into a search engine over a person's files, notes, code, and the web, with cited answers. It runs as a terminal app, CLI, MCP server, or HTTP API, with no separate model server or vector database to set up, and also backs an Obsidian plugin. It's aimed at people who want private, local search over their own material.
