Cling Announces Sponsorship of Ladybird, the Independent Web Browser

Maker of personal productivity software will support Ladybird’s team with funding and endorsement

BERLIN – September 24, 2024 – Cling, the personal productivity software company dedicated to simplifying users’ digital lives, today announced that it is sponsoring Ladybird, the independent web browser created by a non-profit organization. Ladybird, whose alpha release is expected in 2026, is a standards-based browser built exclusively for web browsing, but with no legacy code or monetization of user activities. The technology represents a strong fit for Cling, a company devoted to user experience.

According to Peter Romianowski, founder of Cling, “We feel an affinity for the Ladybird project. We, too, are an independent team of developers that built our software on an open web. The Ladybird initiative came to our attention. Its efforts are all about helping maintain and restore the spirit of the Internet through variety and independence. We are thrilled to be supporting their journey.”

Romianowski added, “We developed Cling to take away the anxiety people experience in this digital age, reducing the user’s focus to essential tasks and components, so people have access to real-time progress.’”

Cling specializes in personal organization and digital teamwork. The application lets users create spaces for all their digital stuff so nothing ever gets lost. The feature set is also useful in a work context, enabling teams to handle heavy workloads with organizational software that provides agile and timely organization processes. Cling users can organize digital buckets that contain all the notes, bookmarks, files, photos and videos needed for the task at hand.

“We are proud to have received Cling’s generous support for the Ladybird browser initiative,” said Andreas Kling, founder of Ladybird. “Its contributions and those from other sources help us continue the development of our unique, independent browser, which is meant for all users.”

Ladybird began as an HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby operating system project, but has since grown into a cross-platform browser that will support Linux, macOS and Unix-like systems. Ladybird prioritizes user freedom and independent development. The project is receiving significant backing, with the Ladybird organization recently receiving a $1 million donation from Github founder Chris Wanstrath.
