-Every funding model shapes what gets built.

Venture capital demands growth. Advertising demands attention. Paywalls demand lock-in. Each pulls the product toward extraction and away from the people it claims to serve.

-Software that truly serves humanity can’t be funded by models that extract from it.

Control OS exists because we refused those deals. No shareholders measuring success in growth curves. No pressure to choose profit over principle. Just voluntary contributions from people who understand what’s at stake.

-Your contribution does what clean funding should:

It keeps development deliberate, decisions uncompromised, principles intact. Privacy stays foundational. Human needs stay primary. This is stewardship in its simplest form—choosing to preserve what matters before market forces reshape it into something else.

-This is how we prove software can work differently when incentives finally align with the mission.

Control OS is provided free of charge. Contributions are voluntary donations to support independent development and are not payments for goods or services.
