Sponsor
Synara is free. Sponsorship is what keeps it that way.
Synara Desktop is open source under the MIT license, with no paid tier, no account, and nothing held back behind a subscription. It's maintained by me, with help from some kind developers in the open source community. If it saves you time, sponsoring is the most direct way to keep it moving — every tier below runs through GitHub Sponsors, so billing, receipts, and cancellation stay entirely on GitHub.

Signed installers, release testing across macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the fixes that follow a bad build.
Docs and support

Questions
Does sponsoring unlock features?
No. Synara is MIT-licensed and every feature is free for everyone, sponsor or not. Sponsorship funds the work — it doesn't buy access.
Can I sponsor as a company?
Yes. GitHub Sponsors supports paying from an organization account, and invoices come from GitHub. Logo placement and a link come with the $149 and $499 tiers, whoever is sponsoring.
Can I give a one-off amount instead?
Yes. Switch to the One-time tab on GitHub and enter any amount you like — there are no fixed one-time tiers, so a one-off contribution always shows up as a custom amount.
How do I get my name or logo listed?
Sponsor at $15 or above and your name goes on the sponsor wall; from $49 up — monthly or one-time — it goes under Top donors. For logo placement at $149 and above, send me the asset and the link you want it to point at on X.
Not able to sponsor? Starring the repo and telling someone about Synara genuinely helps too.
