Become a sponsor to Timothy Murphy

Hey, I'm Timothy 👋

I'm a Full Stack Developer with 15+ years of experience shipping software across web, desktop, and mobile. I'm the founder of LunoDB (an AI-powered database client) and Last Seen Up (uptime monitoring that actually wakes you up), COO at ItsWorthMore.com, and the maintainer behind a growing collection of free, open-source tools.

What I build

🖥️ ChillMac — A free, open-source macOS menu bar app for system monitoring and fan control. Real-time CPU/GPU temps, per-fan speed control, memory and battery health — all from the menu bar. Apple Silicon and Intel.

🌐 DeMarkup — A free, open-source Chrome extension that converts any webpage into clean Markdown with one click. Includes an LLM optimization mode that strips noise for AI consumption. Privacy-first — everything runs locally.

🗄️ LunoDB — An AI-powered database platform for desktop and mobile. Monaco-based SQL editor, SSH tunneling, natural language queries across 8 database systems. 90+ releases, 400+ features, free forever with an optional Pro upgrade.

📡 Last Seen Up — Uptime, heartbeat, SSL, and domain monitoring that double-checks every failure across regions before it wakes you, then escalates from a Time Sensitive push to a phone call until someone acknowledges. Web dashboard plus a native iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch app with Live Activities.

📊 LunoPeak — A local-first desktop dashboard for AI-assisted development. Every repo, every Claude Code and Codex session, and every config in one window — live activity, per-session token spend, budget alerts, session replay. No accounts, no telemetry. macOS, Windows, and Linux from one Rust + Tauri binary.

📱 iOS apps — LunoDB Mobile, Feevio (a financial calculator with an Apple Watch companion), and two offline-first, ad-free games: Cage Break: Rescue Run and Piece of Mind: Picture Puzzles.

Why sponsor me?

Most of what I build is free, and I want to keep it that way. Open-source maintenance — answering issues, shipping fixes, adding features, supporting new platforms — takes real time that doesn't pay for itself.

Your sponsorship directly funds:

• ⏱️ Time spent on open-source work instead of client work
• 🐛 Faster bug fixes and feature releases
• 🧪 New free tools (I have a long list of ideas)
• 📚 Better docs, examples, and onboarding for contributors
• 🍎 Apple Developer fees, code signing, and infrastructure costs that keep apps shipping

What you get

Sponsor any amount you like — monthly or one-time. Every sponsorship directly enables more open work, and I'll publicly thank sponsors in my project READMEs.

If my work has saved you time, taught you something, or just made your day a little easier, sponsoring is the most direct way to say "keep going." Thank you 🙏
