#Holos 1.0.0 is available! With this release, Holos moves from release candidate to production. This version adds a reverse timeline option to display posts oldest-first.

A lot of improvements have also been made to the relay, especially around Bloom filter performance, that are not always reflected in app changelogs.

FBI director Kash Patel confirms the FBI is buying location data and histories that can be used for tracking people. It's the first time in recent years that the FBI has said it's actively buying this information, without needing a warrant.

I've been waiting for the map to update! This is a screengrab from termine.di.day (the map and calendar of DI Day events). I'm proud as heck to see this movement spread to the Americas and to be the one making it happen in my home town of Denver, Colorado.

Let's see many more DI Day events in the Americas in 2026! Feel free to ask questions about how to host an event in your area.

#Holos 1.0.0-rc-4 published!

Sync is now much faster thanks to Bloom filters. You can set a TTL on posts when composing or configure a default in settings.

If you have a WebDAV/S3 server, the app can upload media there and use public URLs in ActivityPub.

Videos can be compressed before upload. An experimental vertical video feed is available.

A new Discovery timeline lets you explore posts by tags and language.

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.
