IMPORTANT: Solid is a developing technology and still at a research / experimental stage. Therefore, if you have a Pod on our platform, please do not make that your only point of storage for vital data.

UPDATE: We are no longer hosting a local Inrupt Pod Browser instance. We are suggesting you use https://podbrowser.inrupt.com/ as your Pod Browser. Click to view instructions.

When data is stored in someone's Pod, they control which people and applications can access it.' For more infromation about the concepts around Solid please visit The Solid Project Website
