Your Donations Power Tixati Development!
Hello.  Thanks for using Tixati.
My name is Kevin Hearn.  I created this app because I wanted there to be a simple and easy to use Bittorrent client that was completely free and had no ads or tricks.  I also wanted an app that was of the highest quality possible.
It was not easy.  I wrote the entire program in C++ so it could be compiled into fast-running native binaries, and in the end it was well over 200,000 lines of code.  It took a few years of full-time effort just to get the first release ready.
Since that first release fifteen years ago, I have worked non-stop to add new features, fix the inevitable bugs, and make countless improvements based upon user feedback.  A scroll through the Tixati News page shows just how far we've come.
Creating and maintaining a major app like Tixati is something I am very proud of.  However, it can often be an extremely frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming task.
If you enjoy my software, please consider a donation.  Every dollar counts and will directly fund continued development.
