TraceApps

Hi, I'm Joe

I build free, open source apps you run on your own server. Your data stays on your hardware, with no accounts, no telemetry, and no cloud sync unless you opt in. I build and maintain all of them myself.

  • NutriTrace: nutrition tracking
  • LiftTrace: weightlifting tracking
  • CookTrace: recipes, pantry, and cooking
  • NoteTrace: notes that are quick to capture and work offline
  • Fathom: an all-in-one Jellyfin client for desktop and Android

What monthly sponsorship covers

Right now: the tools I use to build and test the apps, about $100 a month.

Next, once that's covered: a public demo instance so people can try the apps before installing anything, and a proper domain.

A Mac and an iPhone

Separately, support on Ko-fi goes toward a Mac and an iPhone so my apps can come to Apple devices. That's a one-time goal, and the full breakdown is on the Support page.

What sponsorship does not buy

Everything is AGPL-3.0 and free, forever. There are no locked features, no sponsor-only builds, no early access, and no priority support. Sponsorship is a thank-you for work that already exists.

Helping without money

Starring the repos, reporting bugs with detail, and translating all count, and stars are how self-hosted projects get found.

2 sponsors have funded TraceApps’s work.

Reaching this goal will cover the tools I use to build and test all the Trace Apps and Fathom. Past it, the next step is a public demo instance and a domain, so people can try the apps before installing anything.
