Discover the best projects built with Laravel
What is Laravel?
Laravel is the most popular PHP full-stack framework for modern web apps, APIs, and SaaS products. This gallery lists 2,611 open-source projects built with Laravel, most of them in DevTools, Dashboards and APIs, ranked by GitHub stars so the most-adopted repositories come first.
How projects are selected
Projects are public GitHub repositories found with the GitHub search query “topic:laravel” and at least 50 stars. Each repository is checked against Laravel’s languages and ecosystem before it is categorized, and stars, forks and last-commit dates come straight from the GitHub API, refreshed daily (current snapshot: October 6, 2026). Nothing here is paid placement.
