We’ve always built Stingle Photos around a simple promise:
your memories should stay truly yours.
For years, we’ve worked independently to create a secure, open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo and video cloud — an alternative to Big Tech platforms that profit from your data. Every line of code in Stingle is written with privacy and transparency in mind.
But as the project grows, so do the challenges.
Maintaining servers, developing new features, testing across platforms, and providing support all take time and resources. Until now, we’ve covered nearly everything ourselves — but to keep Stingle alive and improving, we need your help.
🌱 Support Stingle’s Continued Development
We’re happy to announce that you can now support Stingle Photos directly through GitHub Sponsors.
Your contributions will help us:
- Hire additional developers to speed up new features
- Improve our Android and desktop apps
- Maintain and scale server infrastructure
- Continue keeping Stingle 100% open-source and ad-free
Whether it’s a one-time or recurring donation, every bit truly helps.
Even a few dollars from enough people can make a huge difference.
🛡️ Stay Independent, Stay Private
We’re committed to keeping Stingle free from venture capital and data-driven business models. Your direct support means we can stay independent — accountable only to our users, not to advertisers.
If you believe in digital privacy and want to help us continue building tools that respect it, please consider becoming a sponsor today.
Thank you for standing with us and supporting privacy-first, open-source software.
Together, we can keep Stingle alive and growing. 💙
