Where the money goes.

I built Brukas on my own. Every conversation is powered by AI that costs real money to run, so I had to charge for the full version. I thought about what to do with the profit, and I kept coming back to the same answer.

Brukas is designed to help people get started. It felt right to use some of that profit to help people in a bigger way.

Our 2026 recipient

Each year, Brukas chooses a cause and commits 50% of its net profits to that year's recipient. Our 2026 recipient is ADDA, the Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

ADDA is the world's largest organization dedicated exclusively to helping adults with ADHD. You can learn more at add.org.

Why this cause

Brukas exists because starting is the hard part. The blank screen, the open day, the work you know you should do but can't quite begin. ADDA spends every day helping adults who live with that friction, and they have done it longer and better than anyone. If a focus app is going to give some of its profit away, it should go to the people who understand the problem it is trying to solve.

What "net profits" means

Net profits means what's left after the App Store's commission (15-30%), server and AI costs, and other operating expenses. I'm not donating from gross revenue. I'm donating from what I actually keep. That's a meaningful number for a small indie app, and I intend to keep the commitment.

How this works

Brukas Pro is a subscription. When you subscribe, you're buying a product, not making a charitable donation. The donation happens on my end, from my share of the profits, after costs.

Your payment is a purchase, not a tax-deductible donation.

Annual rotation

Brukas runs on a calendar-year cycle. Each year, I choose a new cause. The recipient and the percentage may change year to year. When they do, I update this page and note the change. The current year's recipient is always shown here and in the app.

This is an intentional part of how Brukas gives. It is not a hedge, it is the model: one cause, one year, full commitment.

A note on Apple

Apple does not endorse or sponsor Brukas's giving commitment. Brukas is an independent app, and this is my personal decision as the developer.
