Become a sponsor to LeanBitLab

Hi! I'm the developer behind LeanBitLab.

I build open-source Android apps focused on privacy, performance, and daily utility. Main projects include:

• LeanType: Secure, fast, and smart keyboard designed to keep data private.
• LTvLauncher: Minimal, distraction-free Android TV launcher.
• Lwidget: Customizable all-in-one dashboard widget system.

Why Sponsor?

Developing and maintaining open-source projects takes hundreds of hours. Community support directly funds:

• Test Devices: Testing and fixing bugs across various Android models.
• Coffee & Late-Night Fuel: Fueling late-night coding sessions
• Active Maintenance : Keeping projects active, ad-free, and open-source long-term.
• Developer Time: Compensating the massive personal time poured into developing

Thank you for supporting independent open-source development!
