Licensing

AtomForge uses a Patron License model. This is a trust-based licensing approach designed to keep the project accessible to everyone while ensuring sustainable development.

The model is simple: free for personal and non-profit use, and sponsored by patrons for all for-profit projects.

Sponsor the Project

Help us build the future of Svelte UI

If you use AtomForge in a project that generates revenue (SaaS, client work, internal corporate tools), we kindly ask you to sponsor the project.

By becoming a Pro patron, you are directly investing in the ongoing development of the toolkit, my teaching initiatives at the university, and the education of the next generation of software engineers.

  • Commercial usage rights
  • Perpetual license during active sponsorship
  • Priority for bug reports and feedback

How it works

The commercial license is honor-based — there is no technical enforcement or license key. If your project makes money with the help of AtomForge, please become a supporter via GitHub Sponsors.

Your support directly funds development and allows us to continue building high-quality, accessible components for everyone.
