Contributing to the Sandboxie project


Note: This is a community fork that took place after the release of the Sandboxie source code and not the official continuation of the previous development (see the project history and #2926).


Monetary contributions

  1. Get a supporter certificate
    A supporter certificate is like a license key and enables the use of new supporter exclusive features, like Privacy Mode or Application Compartment sandboxes. See the Feature Comparison for more details and certificate options.

  2. Get a Patreon subscription
    Patreon certificates are valid for as long as the subscription is active and unlock all features. Patreons who have ended their subscription are entitled to a residual certificate corresponding to the total amount of their support. See also how to renew a Patreon supporter certificate.

  3. Donate with PayPal

  4. Donate with cryptocurrencies
    In order to arrange custom payments with cryptocurrencies, please get in touch by email.

In case of licensing issues, please get in touch by email with the full name and order ID.

Non-monetary contributions

Contributor certificates do not expire (regardless of how many PCs you own) and are available to all people who open meaningful pull requests or provide continued support to the Sandboxie-docs / Sandboxie repositories.

To be eligible for a contributor certificate, a non-trivial contribution is required, as outlined below. Minor contributions (such as small typo fixes, minor UI tweaks, or small translation improvements) are appreciated and will be rewarded with a free developer certificate, which includes a home-use license valid for 1 year, but they do not qualify for a contributor certificate on their own.

Examples of non-trivial contributions that qualify for a contributor certificate include:

  1. Adding a new Sandboxie Plus translation for the language of your country, see also Localization notes and tips.
  2. Updating an outdated translation where a significant portion of the content must be revised.
  3. Helping to keep our Sandboxie-docs repository updated by providing a number of meaningful changes. More volunteers are needed to keep it constantly updated with the new introduced settings mentioned in the CHANGELOG.md file.
  4. Providing new code that fix a specific Sandboxie issue or introducing a new functionality.
  5. Become a collaborator in the Sandboxie-docs / Sandboxie repositories, by offering your availability (proving your continued support with open issues and/or sufficient skills to manage pull requests).

If you are willing to become a new contributor or collaborator, please get in touch by email for further details.
