Thank you, truly.

Your contribution helps keep Studio Timer alive and free for everyone. It means a lot.

Free, forever

The Development Fund.

Studio Timer is the project that taught me Claude Code. It was built hand-in-hand with an AI trained on the freely-shared knowledge of millions of people: everyone who ever wrote a tutorial, answered a question, or explained something online so a stranger could learn. That collective generosity is in this app. It would feel wrong to lock it behind a paywall.

So Studio Timer is free, in perpetuity. Forever. The next release will be fully open source. No Pro tier, no nag screens, no upsells. Every feature, for everyone.

It does cost a little to keep alive, though. If Studio Timer earns a place in your workflow and you'd like to chip in toward that, the Development Fund is here. Entirely optional, always.
