01
Local-first
Software made for owned workflows, durable files, and user control.
Software. Forged. Verified.
We build software.
We prove it works.
The Proof Foundry is a software studio that builds local-first tools with visible evidence: receipts, release proof, checksums, and claims you can inspect before you trust them.
02
Receipt-backed
Release notes, deployment records, checksums, and public proof links.
03
Claims tested
Behavior tied to test gates and evidence instead of hype language.
04
Limits disclosed
What the evidence does and does not establish, stated plainly.
Featured platform
Reality Gate
Developer Continuity and Proof Platform
Local-first developer continuity for the Git workflow you already use. Keep GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo — Reality Gate maps dependencies, verifies continuity, and keeps signed receipts of what was checked.
Now
Local-first developer continuity for the Git workflow you already use: dependency mapping, continuity verification, and signed receipts of what was checked — available today as a downloadable Developer Pilot.
Roadmap direction
Governed agent workflows through an emerging Agent Gateway / MCP control layer. Reality Gate is actively dogfooding against its own source; self-hosting proof and autonomous release authority are not yet established.

The Proof Standard
Every claim. Every tool. Every time.
Proof Foundry products are shipped with visible evidence where possible: release notes, screenshots, checksums, test results, receipts, and plain-language limits.
Because trust is earned through verification, not words.
- Claim
- What we say the software does.
- Evidence
- What was actually tested or observed.
- Artifact
- The build, receipt, checksum, or report the claim points to.
- Limits
- What the evidence does not establish.
A checksum is not a code signature. A receipt is not a security certification. A passing test is not a release authorization. A Reality Gate receipt is not owner approval.
What's being forged
A compact view of what's actively moving. Full detail, gates, and holds live on the roadmap.
-
Active proof
Reality Gate
Dogfooding against its own source; self-hosting proof and the Agent/MCP gateway design remain open.
-
Shipped
GhostLayer
v0.2.1 is the current public release. Later work — safer edit and recovery workflows — is still engineering-only.
-
Hold
Lights Out
v11.1.3 passed Reality Gate validation. Publication is held pending a separate owner release decision.
