Supporting the Bobine Project

Bobine is 100% free and open-source software (AGPL-3.0), with zero subscriptions, zero ads, and zero vendor lock-in.

1. Why Free & Self-Hosted Playout?

Proprietary fitness cinema solutions charge recurring subscriptions between $150 and $400 monthly per display. Bobine gives sports clubs, studio coaches, and gym owners total digital sovereignty by eliminating software rents and running 100% offline on standard affordable mini PCs.

2. Financial Transparency & Independence

Bobine has no external corporate investors and collects zero user data. Every donation received via Ko-fi directly pays for hardware testing benches (Dell Wyse units, Intel Celeron mini PCs, sound cards), domain renewals, and automated CI/CD runners.

3. How You Can Help the Project

Whether you are a developer, gym manager, or fitness enthusiast, starring our GitHub repository, reporting compatibility with TV screens, improving the Debian install script, or translating documentation helps the ecosystem grow.
