Patchy is free and open source. Most Windows clients these days have become adware with premium versions and other similar saddening things. Patchy will never be like this - no ads, no extra software in the installer, and it comes with all the features, completely free.
These links will become active once the final release goes live.
Feel free to file bug reports as GitHub Issues. Please be as descriptive as possible. You may also submit feature requests and ask questions through the same mechanism.
