I'm really excited to release 2 major Holochain apps today.
Both free, open source (MIT), and out now on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Flowsta Vault — your identity, on your machine.
Your keys and recovery phrase never leave your device; we never see them. It runs a local Holochain conductor, so just by running it, you're not only using the network — you're strengthening it. Your data stays on your machine and exports in full. You own it, not us. Never locked in.
ProofPoll - verified polls, no central control.
It's the first Holochain app built on Flowsta Vault. Real voting where one vote = one real person (sybil-resistant via your @WeAreFlowsta identity). No server to seize, no admin who can rewrite the count. It even keeps private data on a public network — encrypted client-side so only you can read it.
But here's the part I'm most excited about: ProofPoll is built to be forked.
A review site, a task tracker, a social feed — the voting bits swap out easily. The genuinely hard parts of a desktop Holochain app — conductor lifecycle, DNA migration, identity linking, and encrypted data - are all solved, commented and documented inside it. We've spent 8 months building on Holochain nearly every day, and everything we've learned is baked into ProofPoll. You don't start from a toy example — you start from real, production know-how.
So if you've ever wanted to build on Holochain, my advice is, don't start from a blank page. Clone ProofPoll, open it in Claude Code, point it at the repo + our docs, and tell it what you want to build. We've watched a working app come together this way in an afternoon.
