• It helps us attract developers to the project.
• They serve as proof that the project is valuable to our users, which is very useful when we apply to grants.

What is the money used for?

• All expenses will be entirely transparent for community review.
• They will not pay for the work of the current lead developer Erik.
• Server costs of the forum and other infrastructure.
• Funding other open source projects that ActivityWatch depends on.
