Support Anonomi
Anonomi is built for people operating under pressure — not for growth metrics, venture capital, or institutional control.
Supporting the project means helping keep it independent, maintainable, and available in hostile environments.
There are several ways to help, depending on what you can offer.
What support means here
Section titled “What support means here”Anonomi is:
- Free and open source
- Built without centralized servers
- Designed for high-risk and adversarial environments
That also means:
- Infrastructure costs are real
- Maintenance work is ongoing
- Independence must be actively protected
Sponsorship does not equal influence.
Anonomi is governed by its community — not sponsors, not donors, not institutions.
Financial support
Section titled “Financial support”Financial contributions help cover:
- Build and release infrastructure
- Signing and distribution costs
- Long-term maintenance
- Keeping the project independent of surveillance-driven platforms
Financial support also helps sustain our contribution to the Tor network, including running relays and bridges that improve network resilience for everyone — not just Anonomi users.
Important principles
Section titled “Important principles”- Donations do not buy influence
- No feature prioritization for donors
- No access privileges
- No roadmap control
Support keeps the lights on — it does not steer the project.
Details on accepted methods (including privacy-respecting options) are published separately.
Technical contributions
Section titled “Technical contributions”If you have technical skills, this is one of the most valuable ways to help.
You can contribute by:
- Reviewing code
- Improving documentation
- Testing releases in different environments
- Reporting bugs clearly and responsibly
- Helping with reproducible builds
See:
Infrastructure support
Section titled “Infrastructure support”Anonomi depends on a wider ecosystem.
Ways to help:
- Running Tor relays or bridges
- Map Tiles repository
- Helping test offline distribution workflows
- Providing feedback from real-world deployments
Even small infrastructure contributions improve resilience.
Community support
Section titled “Community support”Not all support is technical.
You can help by:
- Helping others understand threat models and limitations
- Translating documentation
- Sharing safe usage practices
- Correcting misinformation
The goal is not mass adoption — it’s informed use.
What we will not do
Section titled “What we will not do”To be explicit, Anonomi will not:
- Accept funding that requires control or oversight
- Add telemetry or tracking
- Centralize infrastructure “for convenience”
- Trade privacy for reach
If that ever changes, the project has failed its own principles.
Transparency
Section titled “Transparency”Major decisions, tradeoffs, and limitations are documented openly.
If something is unsafe, incomplete, or experimental, it is described as such — not hidden behind marketing language.
In short
Section titled “In short”If you value:
- Tools that work offline
- Resistance to surveillance and coercion
- Software that assumes hostile environments
Then supporting Anonomi helps keep those options available.
Thank you for standing with a project that prioritizes safety over scale.
