Everything is a large-scale open-source initiative to rebuild mainstream proprietary software from scratch and release free, MIT-licensed alternatives. It organizes complete replacements for categories such as Office (spreadsheets, documents, presentations, whiteboards, PDFs, notes), Collaboration (meetings, team chat, email, calendar), Creative Tools (photo, video, vector, audio, 3D), Engineering (CAD, parametric modeling, circuits, building design), Productivity, Finance, Business, Developer Tools, and Games. Examples of targeted proprietary software include Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, AutoCAD and Revit, Slack and Zoom, QuickBooks, and Salesforce. The project’s argument is that the world’s software can be reimplemented and liberated under permissive licensing, offering a single mono-repository that bundles many independent applications and components.
The repository is structured as a mono-repo with src, dev, assets, CI workflows and documentation; contributors can clone, install, and run apps locally with npm commands provided. Each app entry links to a live “Try it” demo and source code, and third-party libraries retain their original licenses where applicable. The project shows active development and community interest (156 commits, 645 stars, 92 forks) and explicitly states MIT licensing for its contents unless otherwise noted, positioning itself as a practical, runnable collection of open replacements rather than just a manifesto.
