Open source

Free demo videos for open-source projects.

Your coding agent records narrated demos of your project, and tday adds the voice, cursor, camera and style. If you maintain an open-source project that qualifies, you get the Growth plan's features free, for as long as it qualifies.

The price is attribution: your shared videos keep a small Made with tday.com link.

What you get.

Community projects keep the plan for free. Projects with a company behind them get a long trial instead.

Who qualifies.

Four checks, read from GitHub and the package registries when you apply.

  1. You maintain it

    Connect GitHub and we check that your account has admin or maintain permission on the repository.

  2. It is open source

    A public repository, not a fork or an archive, under an OSI-approved license such as MIT, Apache-2.0 or GPL-3.0.

  3. It is active

    A commit to the default branch in the last 90 days, and a release or tag in the last year.

  4. People use it

    At least 500 stars, plus 5 or more contributors or 1,000 package downloads a month. Stars can be bought, so they never count alone.

The checks run as soon as you apply and show you what they found. A person then approves each project, usually within two working days, and a project that does not qualify is told why straight away.

How it works.

  1. Sign in

    Sign in to tday, or create a free account.

  2. Connect GitHub

    Link the GitHub account you maintain the project with.

  3. Name the repository

    Enter it as owner/name. The checks run straight away, and a person approves it, usually within two working days.

  4. Record your docs

    Your coding agent records demos of the project with tday's MCP server, from a clone of the approved repository. tday adds the voice, cursor, camera and style, and you embed the videos in your docs.

Questions

Why do our videos keep the Made with tday.com link?

It is the price of the free plan. The link is small, sits in the corner of the player and moves out of the way of its controls, and it tells the people who watch your demos where they were made. That is how the program pays for itself. Downloads carry it too.

What do the credits cover?

The voice. Narrating a demo spends 10 credits a minute, so 500 credits a month is about 50 minutes of voiceover. Recording and rendering a demo spend none. The allowance is fixed: spending stops at it rather than running over, and a new allowance arrives each month.

What does approved repositories mean?

The free plan covers demos of the repositories we approved for you. Your coding agent records from a clone of one of them, and tday checks where the clone came from before the upload. To cover another repository you maintain, apply for it too.

How long does it last?

For as long as the project qualifies. Every year we run the same checks on your approved repositories, and a project that still qualifies carries on for another year. If one no longer does, a person looks before anything changes, and the plan keeps running meanwhile. If it ends, your organisation moves to Free and keeps every demo it made.

Can I pay to remove the link?

Yes. Every paid plan removes it: Pro is $39 a month and Growth $149 a month. A paid plan takes the place of the free one.

Our project is commercially backed. Can we join?

Yes, on its own track. A project with a paid cloud or enterprise tier, or venture funding, gets a 3-month Growth trial with no card instead, and its shared videos carry no Made with tday.com link while it runs. When it ends, choose a plan or carry on with Free.

Do private forks qualify?

No. The program is for public repositories under an OSI-approved license. A fork, private or public, is not covered even when the project it came from is: apply for the upstream repository instead.

We got a message from tday about our docs. What is it?

We record demos of some open-source projects' docs before we reach out, from the public code and docs alone. If we wrote to you, the videos we made of your docs are yours to embed. If you say no, or do not answer our one follow-up, we send nothing more.
