VALUE FOR VALUE
Has the software created value for you?
Use Your Kitchen Library first. If it becomes useful in your kitchen, household, organization, or business, return some of that value in whatever way seems reasonable to you. There is no required contribution.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Choose an amount that reflects the value you receive.
The ranges below are broad guides, not prices or license tiers. Their boundaries are intentionally approximate, and everyone gets the same software.
| Reference range | One way to think about the value |
|---|---|
| $0 | I am still trying the software, or it was not useful to me. |
| $25–$50 | It is useful and has earned a place in my kitchen. |
| $50–$100 | I use it regularly for recipes, planning, shopping, or household sharing. |
| $100–$250 | It has become an important household tool or family recipe library. |
| $250+ | It provides unusually high household, organizational, professional, or commercial value. |
| Other | I will decide what the software is worth to me. |
These amounts are for the software itself, not for recipes, recipe access, or use of the author's private recipe collection.
CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY
Contribute financially when it makes sense to you.
Financial contributions help support development, testing, documentation, hosting, and continued improvement of Your Kitchen Library.
Financial contributions are voluntary payments supporting the Your Kitchen Library software project. They are not charitable donations.
PayPal
Support the project through PayPal.
Already contributed?
Thank you. If the software later becomes more useful or valuable than you first expected, you can return additional value whenever it seems appropriate.
TIME AND TALENT
Value does not have to mean money.
A useful project gets better when the people using it participate.
Report problems
Clear bug reports and real-world testing make the software more reliable.
Improve the project
Suggest useful changes, improve documentation, test new releases, or contribute code.
Help it grow
Help another user or tell someone about Your Kitchen Library when you think it would be useful to them.
ONE SOFTWARE EDITION
Your contribution does not buy a different version.
Financial support is voluntary. It does not create a warranty, support obligation, ownership interest, or special license rights unless separately agreed in writing.
