My development laptop has completely broken down, and I need your help to get back to coding! If Rhythm has made your daily music experience better, please consider chipping in to my hardware upgrade goal. Every little bit helps get the project back on track.
Building and maintaining Rhythm is a massive labor of love, provided completely free and open-source. Due to my recent hardware failure, I am currently unable to push updates. If you love using this app, please consider supporting my hardware fund so I can return to development!
