Solid Applications

Header graphic

Solid returns the web to its original vision of empowering individuals and enabling collaboration. You choose which applications to use with your data rather than being locked into specific platforms.

You can now use the app launcher to discover and launch Solid applications.

Before you use any of the Solid apps, you need to get a Solid personal online data store (Pod) first.
