A p2p browser for macOS built on the Holepunch stack. Browse sites served directly from Hyperdrive over Hyperswarm — no servers, no CDN, no domain required.
Every site is a Hyperdrive — a p2p filesystem identified by a public key. When you navigate to a hyper:// address, Vinjari connects to peers in the Hyperswarm DHT who are seeding that drive and streams the content directly to WebKit. The experience is identical to browsing a normal website.

hyper://browsing — load any Hyperdrive site by key or z-base-32 address- Native macOS tabs — full window tab support, ⌘T for new tab
- Range requests — video and audio streaming works out of the box
- Back / forward / reload — full browser navigation
- External links —
https://links open in your default browser
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Runtime | BareKit — JS worklet embedded in the app |
| Transport | bare-rpc-swift — IPC between Swift and JS |
| Networking | Hyperswarm — DHT peer discovery |
| Storage | Hyperdrive — p2p filesystem |
| Rendering | WebKit — hyper:// served via URLSchemeHandler |
Any static site works. Build it, mirror it to a Hyperdrive, seed it:
# Install the drives CLI
npm i -g drives
# Create a new drive
drives touch
# → New drive: <z32-key>
# Mirror your built site into the drive (Astro, Next.js, plain HTML — anything)
drives mirror ./dist/ <z32-key>
# Seed so others can reach it
drives seed <z32-key>Then open Vinjari and navigate to hyper://<z32-key>/.

1. Clone and install JS dependencies
git clone https://github.com/your-org/Vinjari
cd Vinjari
npm install2. Download BareKit
BareKit is the Swift package that embeds the Bare JS runtime inside a macOS app. You need its prebuilt framework.
gh release download --repo holepunchto/bare-kit <version>Unpack prebuilds.zip and move macos/BareKit.xcframework into app/frameworks/:
app/
frameworks/
BareKit.xcframework/ ← here
3. Generate the Xcode project
xcodegen generateRe-run this any time you edit project.yml.
