Help Animal Room grow.
The tools are free and open source. Tips fund test hardware, compatibility work, and the public site.
Leave a tip on Ko-fiPaying unlocks nothing. The apps, updates, documentation, and exports remain available to everyone.
Where support goes
What tips pay for.
Real hardware makes it possible to test more than one ideal setup.
🥧
Pi hardware
Fresh installs, upgrades, displays, Bluetooth adapters, and different Pi generations.
🌐
Site and publishing
The domain, installer, documentation, demos, and release guidance.
🧩
Compatibility work
Reproducing hardware-specific problems before support is recommended publicly.
Current priority
More sensor support.
The next hardware funds sensor models keepers request. A model is listed as supported only after it works on real equipment.
No-cost support
Other ways to help.
A clear bug report, a setup story, or a well-placed link can be more useful than a tip.
⭐
Star or watch the projects
Stars help other keepers find the source. Watching releases keeps you updated without a mailing list. Visit the GitHub projects →
🧪
Test a release
Try the documented install on hardware you already own, then report the exact model, OS, and result in the appropriate repository.
📝
Report a reproducible problem
Share what you expected, what happened, and the built-in diagnostic report.
📷
Share a real setup
Use the privacy-conscious setup story form to share what worked and what did not. It asks separately before anything may be featured. You can also follow or tag @thebioactivekeeper on Instagram.
Always optional.
There are no donation popups inside animal care and no features behind payment. If a tip fits your budget, thank you. If not, using the tools and sharing honest feedback is plenty.
