OpenConcho

A fast, privacy-first desktop & web UI for self-hosted Honcho instances.

---

Browse memories, peers, sessions, and conclusions — or chat with full memory context — directly against your own Honcho instance. All connection details stay in your browser; nothing leaves except requests to the URL you configure.

Features

Dashboard	Workspace count and queue status, auto-refreshes every 10 s
Multiple instances	Add and switch between several Honcho connections
Fleet dashboard	Cross-instance observability — workspaces/sessions/queue side-by-side with per-instance badges
Workspaces	Paginated list with per-workspace navigation
Peers	Browse peers, view representations, context, and peer cards
Peer display names	Set a friendly display_name (metadata) to replace raw peer ids
Peer Card Seed Kits	Author reusable peer-card kits and apply them across instances
Sessions	Paginated message history with summaries and context
Conclusions	Semantic search across conclusions with observer/subject display
Dream viewer	Browse dream/consolidation bursts with a recursive premise tree
Dialectic playground	Fan one query across all reasoning levels side-by-side
Webhooks	Manage and trigger webhooks per workspace
Chat	Conversational interface through Honcho's chat endpoint with memory context
Schedule Dream	Trigger Honcho's dream/consolidation pass on demand
Demo mode	Mask identifiers/content for screenshots and screen-sharing
Dark / light mode	Persisted per device, instant toggle
Optional auth	Token field is optional; connection health check auto-detects auth requirement

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22
• pnpm 10 (pinned via packageManager; corepack enable picks it up)
• A running Honcho instance (local or remote)

Web app

git clone https://github.com/offendingcommit/openconcho.git
cd openconcho
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:5173 and enter your Honcho URL when prompted.

Desktop app (Tauri)

Additional prerequisites: Rust stable + Tauri system dependencies for your OS.

git clone https://github.com/offendingcommit/openconcho.git
cd openconcho
pnpm install
pnpm --filter @openconcho/desktop dev

Docker (web app)

Run the web UI in a container — handy for adding it to a self-hosted Honcho Compose stack. The image serves the SPA and reverse-proxies the Honcho API under its own origin, so the browser makes same-origin requests (no CORS to configure).

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -e HONCHO_UPSTREAM=http://host.docker.internal:8000 \
  ghcr.io/offendingcommit/openconcho-web:latest
# → http://localhost:8080

To drop it into a Honcho Compose stack, use the openconcho service in docker-compose.yml. Full details, env vars, and the CORS options are in docs/docker.md.

Connecting to your instance

1. Enter the base URL of your Honcho instance (e.g. http://localhost:8000)
2. Optionally enter an API token if your instance requires auth
3. Click Test connection — the UI reports whether auth is needed
4. Click Save — you're in

Production build

pnpm build                                    # web only → packages/web/dist/
pnpm --filter @openconcho/desktop build       # desktop → packages/desktop/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/

Stack

Layer	Library
Desktop shell	Tauri v2
Framework	React 19 + Vite 8
Routing	TanStack Router v1 (file-based)
Data fetching	TanStack Query v5
API client	openapi-fetch (typed from openapi.json)
Styling	Tailwind CSS v4 + CSS custom properties
Animation	framer-motion
Icons	lucide-react
Lint / format	Biome 2
Tests	Vitest 4 + Testing Library
Releases	semantic-release (conventional commits)

Development

pnpm dev              # Vite dev server (web, http://localhost:5173)
pnpm test             # Vitest test suite
pnpm lint:fix         # Biome lint + format
pnpm typecheck        # TypeScript strict check
pnpm generate:api     # Regenerate src/api/schema.d.ts from openapi.json

Regenerating API types

When your Honcho instance is updated, pull a fresh schema and regenerate:

curl http://your-honcho-url/openapi.json -o packages/web/openapi.json
pnpm --filter @openconcho/web generate:api

Privacy

• Connection details (base URL + token, one or more instances) stored in localStorage under openconcho:instances
• Theme preference stored in localStorage under openconcho:theme
• No telemetry, no analytics, no external requests beyond your configured Honcho instance
