2024 has been a good year with new major versions of both QStudio and Pulse released. 1000s of new users using our tools and we continue to release regularly and keep improving. Thanks go to our users for raising issues, providing feedback and commercially backing us.
Github Stars Shooting Up
Admittedly we weren’t trying to get github attnetion for the first 10 years so it’s a low start but we’ve made good progress.
Version 3.0 with Notebooks Launched in October
It looks like a quick holiday from coding in August, then coming back with fresh ideas and heads-down in October to get Notebooks released.
Downloads Grown Steadily Every Month
In case you are wondering the 1 fortnight where data is off the chart was this hacker news post.

QStudio is now 100% Free. No registration or license required.
Why? Are you shutting down?
Quite the opposite, we believe free and open source is the future and that is where we are going.
If anything we want customers to take this as a massive thanks.
Thank you for being part of driving QStudio forward and sponsoring development and cheering us along all these years.
Thanks in particular to
Thanks in particular to the large finance firms that took a chance on us. Big firms can be bureaucratic with onboarding, purchasing policies, vendor lists, 30 page contracts so I want to thanks all those individuals that jumped those hurdles to get us onboarded and those that put it on the corporate credit card. Below this post is an image containing what may or may not be some customers and other firms that have provided feedback, assistance and input over the years. Strictly speaking we are not allowed to confirm nor deny customers.
What I would say as an external party is that on average these places knew how to complete paperwork, get out of staffs way and enable them to get work done so they are probably better places to work on average.
Over the years, a few larger firms failed to onboard as those attempting it were ground down under the paperwork.
The good news for them is that QStudio is now free and the paperwork should be halved!
We look forward to improving QStudio together.
Being Free opens up more opportunities, please:
This is me cancelling all the individual users that paid annually for QStudio after 10+ years of building them up! Similarly all corporate contracts are also terminated.
Thanks
Note: For those who recently renewed we are offering a Free Pulse license for 10x the users you purchased for QStudio. Get in touch for a demo.
