# Support kitty development

My goal with kitty is to move the stagnant terminal ecosystem forward. To that end kitty has many foundational features, such as: image support, superlative performance, various enhancements to the terminal protocol, etc. These features allow the development of rich terminal applications, such as Side-by-side diff and Unicode input.

If you wish to support this mission and see the terminal ecosystem evolve, consider donating so that I can devote more time to kitty development. I have personally written almost all kitty code.

You can choose to make either a one-time payment via PayPal or become a patron of kitty development via the Patreon or Liberapay services below:
