Support Zettlr
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is a promise. A promise of indefinite and egalitarian access to the tools we all use everyday, and which have become indispensable for performing everyday tasks. Open Source software provides the product first, and asks for support second.
At the same time, developing software – regardless of whether it is FOSS – is expensive. Each application needs servers, domains, services, and, most importantly: working hours. We do not ask for payment before downloading our product, because we want it to be usable even by those without means.
Where proprietary software depends on paying customers, Open Source software depends on paying supporters. Your donation helps offset the financial expenses of the team. But your donation also pays for those who cannot pay. You essentially support two groups: Us, the developers, and those highschool and college students who cannot afford to pay for expensive software.
If every user of Zettlr gave just $1 – less than a coffee – each month, we would be in the green. So, if you have the means, become a supporter and ensure your favorite workhorse remains on the level of quality you have come to enjoy from our team. Below, you can see those who already support our development.
Thank you for your support!
