Funding creativity, not corporations
Own your tools. Own your art. Invest in the sustainable, independent future of high-quality creative software that's free, and always will be.
Graphite is 100% built and funded by the community. Your contributions directly help us level up the scope and speed of the project's development. Resources are put towards infrastructure, operational costs, swag to keep contributors happy and motivated, and outreach like exhibiting at conventions and traveling to conferences to foster industry relationships. Hiring full-time developers is the next crucial milestone.
