What's special about Acorn

Acorn is not your typical project management tool. Here are a few reasons why. 👇

Why Acorn #1

Truly distributed collaboration

Acorn is built as a Holochain application, meaning it runs on decentralized peer-to-peer computing letting you manage projects without needing any servers or external hosting.

Who's Involved in Developing Acorn

Acorn was envisioned and prototyped (using a third party platform) by the Holochain core development team in 2018 to organize their own planning and execution process.

In August 2019 Sprillow undertook a design process and began building Acorn on Holochain and continues to today. In June 2022 the first major release of Acorn (Alpha) was published and it's currently in an Alpha testing phase.

Lightningrod Labs is the container for the continuous development of Acorn alongside some other projects powered by Holochain.
