GridRepublic is a BOINC Account Manager. It focuses on creating a clean and simple way to join and interact with BOINC. GridRepublic was started with a mission to raise public awareness and participation in volunteer computing with BOINC.

The code for the BOINC software had to be redesigned to allow for the Account Manager system to be implemented.
