LobeHub 1.0: A New Foundation for Persistent, Multi-User Workspaces

Since March, we've been rebuilding LobeHub from the ground up. Two months later, 1.0 is here. This isn't just an incremental update—it's a new architecture that enables the capabilities users have been asking for most.

The 0.x era was defined by browser storage. Fast, simple, but limited. You couldn't sync across devices, build knowledge bases, or share agents with a team. Every session started fresh. LobeHub 1.0 changes that foundation.

Server-Side Database: Data That Persists and Travels

The centerpiece of 1.0 is server-side database support. With persistent storage, conversations and agents live beyond a single browser session. Switch from laptop to desktop without losing context. Build up institutional knowledge over time instead of starting from zero.

This unlocks capabilities that were impossible in 0.x:

Knowledge bases: Store documents and reference them across conversations
Cross-device sync: Pick up exactly where you left off on any device
Private agent marketplaces: Share specialized agents within your team
Conversation history: Search and revisit past discussions

User Management: From Single-Player to Multi-Player

Alongside the database, 1.0 introduces proper user authentication and management. We've integrated both next-auth and Clerk as authentication providers, giving you flexibility based on your security needs.

The settings area has been restructured into a dedicated user panel that brings identity, preferences, and access control into one place. This is essential infrastructure for teams. Multiple users can now share a LobeHub instance with proper access boundaries and account management.

Use the new panel to:

Manage account settings and API keys in one place
Configure authentication providers (next-auth or Clerk)
Control workspace access for team members
Switch between personal and team contexts

LobeHub Cloud: Managed 1.0, Ready to Use

LobeHub Cloud is our hosted offering built on the 1.0 architecture. All the capabilities above—server-side persistence, user management, knowledge bases—are available now without any setup.

We've opened a beta waitlist with limited daily access. If you want to skip self-hosting and start using LobeHub 1.0 immediately, join the waitlist here.

Improvements and fixes

Migrated core storage layer from localStorage to PostgreSQL
Added database migration system for seamless upgrades
Implemented session management with secure token handling
Refactored settings UI into dedicated user panel
