Thank the author

Everything on this site is free to use, but making it isn't free. If something helped you, this is where you can say thanks.

Why nothing is sold here

The apps, texts and tools are given away in full: no ads, no subscriptions, no paid tiers, no sign-up, and nothing is collected about you. That’s by design, and it will stay that way: something useful should be available to everyone, not only to those willing to pay.

Why it still isn’t free

What you get for nothing still has a cost:

Time

Ideas, development, testing, fixes, answering questions, writing and translation. This is the biggest part.

Infrastructure

Servers, domains, file storage and delivery, update checks. Runs around the clock and is paid for every month.

Tools and services

Without them no version could be built, signed or tested.

Keeping things working

Systems update, and what worked yesterday has to be checked and fixed again today.

Ads or a subscription would cover these costs, but they would change the things themselves. A thank-you is a way to keep them free.

What a thank-you gets you

No extra features or privileges: everything is already open to everyone. It’s a sign that the work is needed, and help to keep it going.

How to say thanks

Open

Any amount is welcome, even a small one-off.

Maxim sends off a glowing paper plane from his palm; its dotted trail with a link chain leads to a small person reaching to catch it, while the holographic cat watches

If not with money

Tell someone who might find it useful about what helped you: sharing a link already makes a difference.

Both are separate services with their own rules; your payment details never reach me. Thank you!
