LabFox

LabFox

A Flutter-based cross-platform GitLab workflow client that pairs GitHub Mobile-grade UX with GitLab's Merge Requests, CI/CD, and self-hosted support.

License Platforms

🚧 Early development. The monorepo is scaffolded; feature work starts at M1.


What we're building

LabFox does not try to port every feature of GitLab's web UI. The goal is to make the work developers do every day fast.

Where the GitLab web UI splits its menus by feature, LabFox reorganizes them around the task at hand.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before you start.

One Flutter codebase powers all four platforms, so a bug you fix on desktop is fixed on mobile too.

Desktop contribution → shared codebase → every platform improves

This repository is developed together with coding agents. The working rules live in AGENTS.md, and they apply to human contributors just the same.

Work flows Issue → Branch → Pull Request. Nothing is committed directly to main.
