😎 We Are Now Open Source!

After announcing that Input Source Pro would remain free forever, I decided to take it one step further and make it open source.

You can now find the code on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license.

Life has gotten quite busy lately, so I might not be able to dedicate as much time to this project as I'd like (job hunting, interview preparation, and everything else). Still, I'll do my best to keep things updated and maintained.

Contributions are always welcome. Feel free to submit pull requests, report issues, or suggest new features.

Happy typing! 🫶

What's new

  • The beta tag has been removed! We might introduce a dedicated beta channel in the future with more frequent updates.
  • Added an announcement banner to let everyone know we've gone open source!

🎊 Happy New Year, everyone!

It's been a while since my last update. One big reason I haven't had much time for this project is that I became a father to a lovely baby boy! Taking care of a newborn is far more challenging than we expected, but thankfully, we're hanging in there 😮‍💨. That said, updates to Input Source Pro may remain infrequent over the next few months.

Many users have asked about Input Source Pro's pricing after the beta period, and I finally have an answer: Input Source Pro will remain free for everyone. I did consider introducing paid features, but it just didn't feel right. Switching between tasks and languages is such a fundamental need for multilingual users that it really should be handled by the operating system.

Although Input Source Pro will be free to use, there are still ways you can support its development:

  • Enjoying it? Sharing it with others would mean a lot. ❤️
  • Found it really helpful? You can also buy me a bubble tea. 🧋

Happy typing!

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month!
