Cloud-native desktop GIS
GeoLibre is a lightweight desktop GIS prototype built with Tauri, React, TypeScript, MapLibre GL JS, and DuckDB-WASM Spatial. It focuses on fast local vector data work, project files, styling, plugins, and a practical path toward cloud-native geospatial workflows.
Use an OpenFreeMap basemap, pan and zoom smoothly, and toggle built-in map controls for navigation, terrain, globe view, geolocation, scale, attribution, and logo display.
Load GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, and Shapefile data, inspect attributes, style layers, reorder visibility, and save or reopen .geolibre.json projects from the desktop app.
Built-in plugins cover basemaps, sample data, layer control, swipe, street view, lidar, GeoAgent, and GeoEditor integrations.
The processing toolbox includes client-side algorithms now, with a roadmap toward DuckDB Spatial and an optional Python sidecar for heavier geoprocessing.
The live demo is the browser-capable version of the GeoLibre desktop UI. It is useful for exploring the map, loading browser-selected GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, and zipped Shapefile data, styling layers, and testing plugins. Desktop-only file dialogs and filesystem save/open operations still require the installed Tauri app.

GeoLibre is an active prototype. Version 0.4.0 includes the map workspace, project format, plugin API, browser vector import, DuckDB-WASM Spatial loading, and core UI patterns. See the roadmap for planned work on PMTiles, COGs, SQL workflows, the Python processing sidecar, and external plugin loading.
