Free and Open

The freedom of KeeWeb can be seen from different angles:

the app is free (gratis) and will always remain free, at least for personal use;
as well as it is and will be ad-free;
KDBX format used in KeeWeb is a well-known format recognized by a lot of apps, there's absolutely no vendor lock-in;
you don't have to install anything to run KeeWeb, just go to app.keeweb.info;
it's built on web technologies, which makes it possible to modify the app with custom CSS and JavaScript, KeeWeb provides plugin API for that;
the source code is available on GitHub, check it out to understand what happens inside your password manager;
KeeWeb can be easily self-hosted in a number of ways;
last but not least, the code is provided under a liberal MIT license, so that other developers can build their apps based on technologies used in KeeWeb.

Where does the money go?

KeeWeb is a hobby project, there's no organization or person working on it full-time. There is no plan to have any kind of paid subscription or annoying ads in the app. However there are some costs involved, such as:

code signing certificates for Windows and macOS;
website hosting;
domain names;
resources for testing the app on different platforms;
licenses for software used to create KeeWeb;
hardware tokens for storing private keys;
researching alternatives available on the market;
time spent on answering questions, providing support, debugging, reviewing code, and so on.

Additionally, every donation helps keeping the motivation so that the project continues to exist.

Goals

Short-term goals:

cover all costs of building the project and keeping it up-to-date;
have an active Apple Developer account to update the certificates;
upgrade the hosting solution;
allocate more time for the project.

Mid-term goals:

conduct an external security audit;
develop an app for iOS and Android.

Long-term goals:

have a full-time maintainer;
build an enterprise solution.
