Flossbank –On a mission to support Open Source
At Flossbank, we help Open Source authors and maintainers receive compensation for their work.
Our mission isn’t unique. Our approach is.

We give across the entire dependency tree, supporting maintainers big and small
Seamless
Flossbank doesn’t change your existing workflow
Maintenance-free
Your donations go directly to the packages you use
For developers
Seamlessly give back to the maintainers you rely on
Flossbank provides a free and frictionless way to give back to Open Source maintainers, especially those who don’t have time for self-promotion. Here's how that's possible.
By installing our package manager wrapper, you support maintainers across the entire dependency tree of each Open Source package you install in one of two ways: terminal ads or monthly contributions.
Support maintainers at no cost
Opt in to curated, tech-focused ads in your terminal when you install Open Source packages. Here's how it works.
Or set a monthly donation
Donate monthly to the developers and maintainers of the Open Source packages you install.
