♥ The Development Fund

Studio Timer is the project that taught me Claude Code, built with an AI trained on knowledge millions of people shared freely online. So it's free, in perpetuity. It costs about $158/month to build and run, and the biggest piece is the Claude subscription that writes it. If it's useful to you, you're welcome to chip in.
