✔ == **added to website**

[Tools with open protocol issue (not yet implemented), not fully open sourced code, no documentation at all, or alpha state with development inactive for several months - not added for now]

### List of projects that may be implementing ActivityPub, which began in issue https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/8

*Note*: most of these projects include both a back-end and a web client, but this list also includes projects that are only a back-end. Projects that are only a web app, for use with an existing back-end, will go on the client list [here](https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/wikis/watchlist-for-client-apps).

The [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hope will implement ActivityPub and links to Issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an [implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). @Mayel from Social.coop is maintaining a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](https://medium.com/we-distribute) by Sean Tilley. From these and other sources (see links), it looks like all these apps are either considering, working on, or already rolling out AP support:
