# Supporting Operon

Operon is free, and it stays free. I build it for people who run their work inside Obsidian, and for the agents that help them. Sponsorship is what keeps that work moving:

- Adding features and smoothing out everyday workflows.
- Fixing bugs, testing changes, and preparing releases.
- Writing documentation and practical examples.
- Developing the Operon CLI for command-line workflows, scripts, and agents.
- Building agent skills so AI assistants can work with Operon.
- Answering questions and helping Operon users in the community.

Thank you to everyone supporting Operon.

## Enjoying the flow?

If Operon has earned a place in your day, you can help keep it there.

You can [buy me a coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/hasanyilmaz) or sponsor through [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/hasanyilmaz).

## Discord badges

Supporting Operon earns you a badge in the [Operon Discord community](https://discord.gg/nVwznn9cby).

| Badge | Total |
| --- | ---: |
| Spark Maker | €10 |
| Momentum Builder | €25 |
| Visionary | €50 |

**Your badge comes from everything you have contributed, added up. It never goes down, and it never expires.**

You hold the highest badge you have earned. There is nothing to renew and nothing to keep active.

> [!info] How totals add up
> Every contribution adds to your total, including monthly payments. You only ever need to cover the gap to the next badge, not its full amount. From €15, another €10 reaches Momentum Builder.

Badges are a thank you. They do not unlock product features or priority support.

## The Monthly Sponsor badge

A monthly contribution on either platform adds the **Monthly Sponsor** badge for as long as it runs. It also builds your total month after month, like any other contribution.

One-time contributions do not carry the badge, but they count toward your tier badge just the same.

If a monthly contribution ends, only the Monthly Sponsor badge goes. The tier badge you have earned stays exactly where it is.

## Getting your badge

I add badges by hand. Send me a direct message on Discord and I will match it to your contributions.

Your badge does not expire, so there is no rush.

> [!note] Early supporters
> Contributions made before September 20, 2026 are added up per person and count in full toward your badge.
>
> For this first round only, totals of €9 are rounded up to €10, so that early supporters start at Spark Maker.

Thank you for helping Operon grow.

**Stay in Flow.**
