#Holos - a mobile ActivityPub server that runs on your phone. A relay server maintains your stable identity when you're offline. Switch between text, photos, videos, and articles from a single account. Currently in private development, sharing progress with the community.
Thomas Yes, #HolosSocial is far from perfect, but everything is being done to improve the UX. I still believe in this project because it offers a lot of perspectives, and bad behavior can be fixed.
Thank you to all the people trusting this project. Even if it fails, I am pretty sure it will help push #ActivityPub further.

Now it's clearly time to let iOS users give #HolosSocial a try. It's still early, but no reason to keep delaying the iOS release. The project is mature enough for both Android and iOS.
Something to clarify about custom domains. This feature lets you own your identity with your domain name. No one else can create an account with it, the relay verifies domain ownership through DNS before activation.
If you want friends or family to have an identity on your domain, you can. As the domain owner, you control who gets one. For root domain identities, this is done through WebFinger configuration, without hosting a relay and even if people are on different relays.
#Holos 1.1.2 has been published.
This release fixes backup to disk that was incorrectly opening a share dialog, a timeout issue with push registration, and reply mentions showing as @Unknown in the local timeline. Also fixed signup that could misleadingly suggest registration on a custom domain.
Available in #FDroid (custom repo) and Framadrive : https://framadrive.org/s/fsnpxkdSct4JH7k
#Holos started at the end of 2025. A full #ActivityPub server now runs on your phone, with the ability to use your own domain as your identity, #E2EE DMs via Signal Protocol, zero-knowledge encrypted backup, #ActivityPub media served from your own cloud, a tailored timeline based on your interests thanks to #HolosDiscover, and the ability to switch views depending on your mood or the content you want to browse. Thank you for your feedback and support that helped to go through these steps.
#Holos 1.1.1 has been published. You can now use your root domain as your identity with a simple TXT DNS record. If you have only one user, a static JSON file is enough.
#Holos will support custom root domains tomorrow. You'll be able to use @[email protected] as your identity while #ActivityPub traffic is routed through a subdomain.
With a single user, a simple static json file will be enough on your root domain.
PS: if you already use a subdomain, it will work without extra work.
Next step with #Holos and custom domains: being able to use your root domain as your identity. A subdomain would point to the relay via CNAME, but your identity would use your root domain.
I will write a small how-to to make the setup straightforward for everyone.
Updates are now available on #FDroid if you use the custom repo:
Don't uninstall your current version, just update the app.
