As Russia/Ukraine Battle Rages, Software Developers Raise Funds for Ukrainian Relief

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to rage, leaving devastation in its wake, developers and online software vendors have increased their efforts to raise funds for the relief of the Ukrainian people.

Unclutter

The Ukraine-based company that brought us Unclutter is offering a full license of the app for a donation of $10 USD or above.

The company says funds raised with this campaign will be transferred to volunteers who the team personally knows and trust to help civilian people in the most affected cities of Ukraine. The funds will help give assistance with evacuation, provision of food, water, warm clothing, and shelter.

In addition, they will transfer funds to official charitable foundations that supply our military and territorial defense volunteers with protection equipment.

Unclutter provides a handy place on your desktop for storing notes, files, and pasteboard clips.

Unclutter offers 3 tools:

1. Clipboard History: Track everything you copy into your Mac’s clipboard. You can browse the list of recent clips & recall any of them.
2. Quick Notes: Jot down casual notes without launching a text editor. You can find any note with a keyword, using the full-text search.
3. Files Hub: Now you have a place to drop casual files to, without cluttering your Desktop or wasting time on searching for them.
