No paywalls, ever
Every product remains fully free. We will not move features behind a donation, introduce a "pro" edition, or withhold fixes from non-donors. The suite is and stays complete for everyone.
Support the project
The tools are free. The work is not.
Every x2y product is free and stays free — no paywalls, no subscriptions, no feature gates. Building, maintaining and signing them still costs time, infrastructure and coffee. If our software earns its place on your machine, a contribution on Ko-fi is the simplest way to say thanks and keep the lights on.

Our promise
Donating changes nothing about what you get — because you already get everything
We want to be unambiguous: a contribution is a thank-you, not a purchase. It unlocks no features, removes no limits, and creates no tier of users. The software you use today is identical whether you give or not.
Zero telemetry stays zero
Supporting us does not opt you into analytics. The software collects nothing, transmits nothing, and that is a contractual commitment under our Terms — not a setting we can flip because you gave.
No account, no tracking
You do not need an x2y account to donate or to use anything. Ko-fi handles the payment; we receive a total, not a profile. Your identity is yours to share or withhold.
Where it goes
How contributions are spent
We are a small, self-funded team in Nairobi. Contributions are pooled and spent transparently on the things that keep independent software alive — never on advertising, growth hacks or third-party trackers.
-
45%
Engineering time
New features, bug fixes, security patches and signature refreshes across all eight products. This is the largest line, because the work itself is the product.
-
25%
Signing & distribution
Code-signing certificates, notarisation, build infrastructure and the fees charged by distribution channels so releases stay trusted and reachable.
-
20%
Threat intelligence & infrastructure
Feed access and processing for MalwareBazaar, URLhaus, OpenPhish and ClamAV, plus the servers behind the documentation portals and SDK registry.
-
10%
Reserve & runway
A buffer that lets us keep shipping through slow months and absorb unexpected costs without ever reaching for ads or telemetry.

Questions
Things donors often ask
No. Every feature is available to every user, free, forever. A contribution is purely a thank-you and a way to fund ongoing work. We will not gate functionality behind donations, now or later.
Payment is processed entirely by Ko-fi; x2y never receives or stores your card details. We see only aggregate contribution totals unless you choose to attach a public message. Donating does not enable telemetry in the software — it collects nothing regardless. See our Privacy Policy.
Yes. Ko-fi allows you to hide your name from the public feed, and you can leave the optional message blank. There is no x2y account involved at any step.
Yes. Monthly support is managed through Ko-fi and can be cancelled in a couple of clicks, effective at the end of the current period. No emails to send, no retention calls, and your access to the free software is unaffected either way.
Absolutely, and thank you. For organisational contributions, sponsorship, or invoiced arrangements, reach out at support@x2ydevs.xyz and we will sort out the details. The same rule applies: it funds the work, it buys no special treatment, and the software stays free for all.
x2y Devs Tools Ltd is a private company, not a registered charity, so contributions are generally not tax-deductible. Ko-fi provides a receipt for your records. If deductibility matters to you, please consult a tax adviser in your jurisdiction before giving.
Thank you
Whether you give or not — thank you for using x2y
Every install, every bug report and every kind word is genuine support. If you can spare the price of a coffee, it goes directly to keeping this suite independent, free and free of telemetry. If you can't, we're glad you're here anyway.
