Free to usePay whatever you wantNo data collection
Offline where the job allowsDesktop tools work with the network unplugged. Connected products state exactly what they send and why, and every connection is listed.
Your data stays yoursNo accounts unless the job needs one, no analytics, no crash reports, no selling. Where a product must store data (finance, teams), it says exactly what and where.
Honest about stateProducts are “Available” only when you can download or use them. Everything else is labelled “In development” or “Planned”, and plans change when we learn something.
Pay whatever you wantEvery product is free. If it helps you, tip what you think it is worth, once or whenever you like. No paywalls, no feature ever switched off.
Built for the machines people actually haveWhatever the platform, we test on ordinary hardware first: Windows 11 Home laptops, mid-range Android phones, small servers. Requirements are stated; premium hardware is never assumed.
The business model

How a micro-tech company survives

Every product here is free. If one helps you, you pay whatever you want as a tip. There are no subscriptions, no ads, no telemetry, and nothing about you is sold to anyone. So it is fair to ask how the lights stay on. Here is the honest answer.

Tips from people a product helped

All of the money is micro-tips. Someone frees 3 GB, sorts out a month of bank statements or gets a team talking, and buys the developer a chai. Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee style: cards and PayPal anywhere in the world, UPI in India. A tip is a thank-you for software you already have, never a fee.

You pay whatever you want

There is no price list. A tip can be the price of a chai, or more if a product saved your week; you decide, once or whenever you like. Paying unlocks nothing and not paying takes nothing away: everyone gets the same product.

Costs kept tiny

WinBastion is a deliberately small unit inside EBITA.AI: a very small team, AI-assisted development, desktop tools that need no servers of ours, and small servers where a product must have one. The website is static files. A company that costs almost nothing to run does not need to squeeze its users.

What a tip pays for

  • Codec licences so MediaBastion can read and write the formats that are not free to ship.
  • A code-signing certificate so Windows SmartScreen stops warning about the installer.
  • The website, the domains and the small servers behind the downloads and the connected products.
  • The developer's time on the next features, the next tests and the next product in the family.

The arithmetic

If 1 in 200 users tips the price of a chai, the family keeps growing.

That is the whole plan. No growth targets, no investors to satisfy, no reason to change the rules later.

Two promises

Features are never locked behind tips: everyone gets the same program. And tipping never gets a nag screen: a tool may ask once, quietly, after it has done something useful, and “never show again” means never.

A micro-tech company by EBITA.AI

About WinBastion

WinBastion is the micro-tech company of EBITA.AI, a software company based in Ernakulam, Kerala. It ships small but worthy programs for Windows, Android, Linux and the web, free, funded by tips from the people they help. We started with the guardian for Windows because it was the tool we needed most, then kept a list of every other chore that still sends people to a subscription, an upload page or a program full of nag screens. That list is the product grid above.

Honest badges

A product is “Available” when you can download it, and not before. We publish the plan for the rest and change it when we learn something.

Funded by the people it helps

Every product is free to download or use. If one helps you, you pay whatever you want as a tip; that is the whole business model. Nothing is ever funded by your data, and no feature is locked behind a tip. How that adds up.

Say hello

Questions, a job you want a product for, or a bug: mustafa@ebita.ai. Bugs, ideas and thank-yous go through the feedback form. Developers: public issue tracker on GitHub (synced with this queue). More on the About and Contact pages.
