Purchases support a small independent team

Beekeeper Studio is run by a small team. We've bootstrapped Beekeeper Studio from nothing without family money, VC investment, or a corporate sponsor.

Building quality software is hard work, especially for such a small team! Even so we're committed to open sourcing the majority of our code base, and offering a lot of features for free.

When you buy a copy of Beekeeper Studio you directly support our business, and our efforts in open source. Thank you! 🙏
