Put your product in the tool developers open every day.
PortBay is the free, open-source dev environment for macOS. Sponsoring keeps it free for everyone — and puts your logo, your link and your offer in front of the developers who run their projects in it. Every placement is UTM-tagged, so the clicks show up in your analytics, not in a slide we made.
Founding sponsor slots are open · You'll talk to the maker, not a sales team
Four placements. All of them measurable.
No banner network, no tracking pixels bolted onto someone else's content. Your brand travels with the product — on the site, in the releases, in the community.
Your logo and link on the homepage and on this page — seen by every developer who comes to download PortBay.
A mention in every release's notes and in our community channels each time we ship.
A dedicated spotlight for your product — your pitch, your offer, your call to action, linked from your logo.
UTM-tagged links on every placement — the traffic shows up in your own analytics, so you never have to take our word for it.
You keep PortBay free for everyone
PortBay has no investors and no ads. The app is free and the code is open. Your sponsorship pays for the unglamorous parts — concretely:
Signing and notarization
The Apple Developer certificates that let PortBay ship as a trusted, signed macOS app — no security warnings between a developer and their first launch.
Runtime builds
The CI that compiles, signs and serves PortBay's own runtime binaries, so every project starts on bits we built and verified ourselves.
Development time
The features, fixes and releases that keep developers opening PortBay every working day — which is exactly where your logo lives.
