Puter and The Everything Project: What Is Verified, With a Timeline

Live timeline · last updated · 1 entry in the update log

If you searched “puter everything”, two things share the name: the Everything repository that Puter published on Oct 13, 2026, and the “everything you need” line on puter.com. This post sticks to the repositories, the website and the official X posts, and says clearly what is and is not Puter’s own.

Puter is an AGPL-3.0 open-source, self-hostable “internet computer” (hosted at puter.com) from Puter Technologies, and The Everything Project is a separate MIT-licensed monorepo under the same GitHub organization, created Oct 13, 2026, that rebuilds office, collaboration, creative, business and game apps as open-source alternatives; a cryptocurrency token using the name “Everything” circulated on X on Oct 16, and we found no official Puter statement about it.

Read on 2026-10-18: the GitHub repositories HeyPuter/puter (README, license, latest release 26.10, repository statistics via the GitHub API) and HeyPuter/everything (README, MIT license, commit list, contributors, statistics), the puter.com homepage, and X posts by @HeyPuter and @NariBuildsStuff. Times are UTC as GitHub and X report them. We did not run any of the apps, we did not benchmark anything, and we cite no news article for any fact in the timeline.

Timeline

  1. The repository HeyPuter/puter is created on GitHub. Its description today reads “The Internet Computer! Free, Open-Source, and Self-Hostable.” The README calls Puter “an advanced, open-source, self-hostable internet computer designed to be feature-rich, fast, and highly extensible”, and states that the repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0 unless stated otherwise. The same README links the hosted service at puter.com, an app store, an AI builder and the developer docs.

  2. Puter publishes release 26.10 on GitHub at 00:18 UTC. The notes list a large set of merged pull requests, including a redesigned Teams tab in the dashboard, hardening against clickjacking, fixes to AI model catalogs and file pickers on third-party sites. This is the latest tagged release as of Oct 18; the main branch continued to receive commits through Oct 17.

  3. @HeyPuter posts on X that “Your AI-built app can now make money”: the open-source AI site builder can set up payments for a site or app automatically, with a link to a live demo and to the source at the HeyPuter/builder repository. Similar posts follow on Oct 9 (templates in the AI builder) and Oct 10 (playable cards for X). These show the product mix around the Everything repository: a hosted OS, a developer platform and an AI builder.

  4. The repository HeyPuter/everything is created at 16:18 UTC. Its oldest commit, “Add MIT license”, is stamped 16:12 UTC, and the LICENSE file reads “Copyright (c) 2026 Puter Technologies Inc.” The repository description is “We’re rebuilding and open-sourcing the world’s software from scratch.” The README describes the Everything Project as an effort “to rebuild and open-source the world’s software from scratch”, from Office to Slack and Photoshop to AutoCAD, in one mono-repository, with every app under its own folder in src.

  5. At 17:22 UTC @HeyPuter posts that it has “just re-built and open-sourced an alternative to SolidWorks”, with a built-in AI assistant, linking a live demo and the source in the Everything repository. This is the project’s CAD application. The same day other users begin posting about the repository, and the account replies to some of them with encouragement to fork it.

  6. @HeyPuter reposts a post (09:46 UTC, by another user) that calls the Everything Project a team building open-source alternatives to popular software, with 50+ listed apps, and at 21:05 UTC tells a user asking for an alternative to Teams to use Puter Meetings, “it’s open source too”. The Everything repository’s commit log shows a 3D app update the same day and the Help Desk entry being added to the README table. The account @NariBuildsStuff, named Nariman Jelveh, whose GitHub profile lists HeyPuter as its company, also reposts the same post.

  7. Posts about a token named “The Everything Project” ($EVERYTHING) on Solana are on X by 07:50 UTC, from accounts that track new token launches, and several accounts ask @NariBuildsStuff whether they can send fees or donations to him. These are third-party posts. In the posts we reviewed, one account describes it as a token for the project, and another says it is a token of the Puter team; we found no post by Puter, HeyPuter or Nariman Jelveh that confirms or denies any link, and neither the Everything README nor puter.com mentions a token. See the section on the token below.

  8. The repository’s main commits continue: a Documents round of review fixes at 15:31 UTC and a wiki documentation commit at 23:09 UTC. As of 01:36 UTC on Oct 18 the repository shows about 2,055 stars and 294 forks, and the README table has 51 application rows across Office, Collaboration, Creative Tools, Engineering, Productivity, Finance, Business, Developer Tools and Games. 28 of those rows carry a “Demo URL not yet provided” tooltip on their Try it link.

What Puter is

Puter is a product by a company called Puter Technologies, shown in the license file of the Everything repository, and it is published on GitHub under the organization HeyPuter. The main repository, HeyPuter/puter, was created on March 3, 2024, is written mainly in TypeScript and has about 43,800 stars on the GitHub API as of October 18. Its README describes two audiences. For users, the goal is “every app and feature you need to work, create, and play under one roof”. For developers, Puter offers AI, cloud storage, a key-value database and serverless workers behind a JavaScript library, plus an app store where developers can publish and monetize apps.

You can use it two ways. The hosted service is at puter.com, and the README says the same software can be self-hosted: a one-line install script for Linux and macOS, a PowerShell equivalent for Windows, or a local development checkout started with npm. The self-hosting guide in the repository is the reference for the details. The software is licensed AGPL-3.0, a strong copyleft license that requires network users to be offered the source of a modified version; this differs from the MIT license of the Everything repository, so do not assume the same terms apply to both.

The current puter.com homepage is titled “One subscription. Unlimited apps.” Its subtitle is “Everything you need to work, create, and play.” It lists apps in groups: office essentials such as spreadsheet, documents, presentation, whiteboard and PDF; collaboration such as team chat, email, meetings, calendar, contacts and signatures; creative and learning tools such as photo and audio editors, 3D Studio and flashcards; business apps such as invoicing, CRM, contracts, point of sale and inventory; and games such as chess, checkers and sudoku. It says every paid plan unlocks every app on the page and that higher plans add storage, AI and support. We did not log in or test any of them.

What “Everything” refers to

“puter everything” can mean two things. The first is the line on the homepage, “Everything you need to work, create, and play”, which is a marketing sentence, not a product name. The second, and the one driving new attention, is The Everything Project, the repository HeyPuter/everything. Its README gives a precise table: each application, the proprietary products it is an alternative to, and links to try the app and to read its source. For example the Spreadsheet app lists Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers as the products it stands in for, the Documents app names Word, Google Docs and Pages, and Teamchat names Slack, Teams and Google Chat.

The project’s apps live in subfolders of the src directory, one per application, and the README’s getting-started steps are to clone the repository, change into a folder such as src/spreadsheet, install dependencies and run the dev server, with Node.js 22.12 or newer. Each app is installed and run from its own folder, and the README describes no single installer for the whole set. Many apps point to a demo on a puter.com subdomain such as spreadsheet.puter.com or chess.puter.com, and on October 18 the README marked 28 of its 51 rows with a “Demo URL not yet provided” tooltip on the Try it link, so a demo link in the table does not guarantee a working demo.

On the maturity of the apps, the primary sources give facts but not a verdict. The commit messages describe rounds of work such as “feature-parity round” for the 3D app and “adversarial review fixes” for Spreadsheet and Documents, which suggests that the apps are under active development. They do not tell you how an app compares to the commercial product it names. A post by one outside account on X described most of the apps as early-stage and not at feature parity; that is a personal assessment, not a Puter statement, and we did not test it. Treat each app as something to try yourself before depending on it.

Who is building it

The repository’s contributor list on GitHub is dominated by a single account, jelveh, with 182 contributions, followed by one other account with one. The jelveh profile gives the name Nariman Jelveh, lists HeyPuter as the company and links the X account @NariBuildsStuff. That same name appears as the author of pull requests in the main Puter repository, for example the redesigned Teams tab in release 26.10, so the person is connected to Puter on the project’s own pages. We note it because some posts on X claimed that the Everything Project was built by “one person” and others that it was “the team behind Puter”. The repository supports the first reading for commit counts, and the license file supports the second for ownership: the copyright line names Puter Technologies Inc.

Commit counts are a poor measure of effort, and we have not tried to settle a debate about how a repository with so many applications was produced. What is verifiable is the dates: the oldest commit is October 13, 2026 at 16:12 UTC, and the repository shows commits on each following day that we checked.

The $EVERYTHING token: what we found

From the morning of October 16 UTC, posts appeared on X promoting a Solana token called “The Everything Project”, from accounts that post automated alerts about new token launches, and several users asked @NariBuildsStuff in public replies whether he would accept the donations or fees they said were being collected on the project’s behalf. Some of these posts say the token supports the Puter project. They are all third-party posts.

We checked the official places a project would normally announce a token: the Everything README, the Puter README, the puter.com homepage, and the posts of @HeyPuter and @NariBuildsStuff we could retrieve for October 7 to 18. None mentions a token, and we found no post by those accounts saying they launched, endorse or deny one. Absence of a statement is not proof either way, so we make no claim about whether the token is connected to Puter. What we can say is that the project’s own pages describe open-source software, and that the token is not described there.

If you are looking at the token, treat the name as an unverified claim of affiliation until Puter says otherwise on its own channels, and do not rely on this post for investment decisions of any kind. Nothing here is financial advice.

How to check things yourself

If you are following open-source launches from the same week, a different project that also trended on GitHub that week is covered in GPTibo open source: what is verified, and the tooling side of open 3D work is discussed in How to choose a Blender alternative, since the Everything repository includes a 3D app and the Puter organization also hosts a Blender-in-the-browser repository. For a timeline built the same way on open-weights AI models, see the Reflection Beam 501B timeline. The Front blog index lists every post.

  • Start from github.com/HeyPuter/everything. The README table is the authoritative list of apps and which have demo links.
  • Check the license file inside the folder you plan to reuse. The root license is MIT, but apps in the repository may bundle third-party libraries under their own terms.
  • For Puter itself, read the self-hosting guide in the HeyPuter/puter repository and remember that the repository is AGPL-3.0.
  • For announcements, use @HeyPuter on X and the GitHub releases page. Reposts by other accounts, including summaries by newsletters and bots, are not announcements.

What is not verified

  • Whether the $EVERYTHING token is connected to Puter or Nariman Jelveh in any way. We found no statement either way.
  • How complete any individual Everything app is compared with the commercial product it names. We ran none of them.
  • The number of people who work on the Everything Project. The contributor list shows one dominant account, but commit counts do not measure team size.
  • Puter’s user numbers, revenue and plan prices. The homepage lists plan names in a price table we could not read in full, so we give no prices.
  • The motive or commercial plan behind open-sourcing the apps. No primary source we read states one.
  • Claims by third parties on X about the number of apps (reports said 30, 46 and 50 at different times). The README table is the only count we cite, and it changes as the project updates.

FAQ

What is Puter?

An open-source, self-hostable “internet computer” from Puter Technologies. It runs as a hosted service at puter.com and as software you can self-host from the HeyPuter/puter repository under AGPL-3.0.

What is The Everything Project?

A MIT-licensed monorepo, HeyPuter/everything, created on October 13, 2026, that rebuilds office, collaboration, creative, business and game apps as open-source alternatives to proprietary software.

Is Everything the same as Puter?

No. Puter is the platform and hosted OS; Everything is a separate repository of apps under the same GitHub organization, with a different license (MIT versus AGPL-3.0). Many Everything demos are hosted on puter.com subdomains.

Is the Everything token official?

We could not verify that. Posts about a $EVERYTHING token on X are third-party posts, and we found no mention of a token on Puter’s own pages or from @HeyPuter.

Can I self-host Puter?

Yes. The README gives an install script for Linux and macOS, a PowerShell command for Windows, and a Docker route; see the self-hosting guide in the repository.
