Support Unity UI Extensions
For more than a decade this project has given Unity developers the controls they would otherwise rebuild on every project — free, open source, no strings. It stays that way. If it has saved you time, here is how you can help keep it alive and growing.
Our promise
Unity UI Extensions is, and always will be, 100% free and open source. There is no paid tier, no premium controls, and nothing locked behind a paywall — on any Unity version, for any project, commercial or not.
Every contribution goes straight back into keeping the project alive and well: the maintainer time to review and merge community fixes, keep pace with new Unity releases, answer questions, refresh the examples, and grow both libraries. There are no shareholders and no salaries — just a project that thousands of developers rely on.
Supporting is always optional. The code is yours either way. This page is simply here for the people who have asked, over the years, how they can give something back.
Why it is worth supporting
A free project still costs something to keep healthy — mostly time.
A decade of real-world use
Community-driven since 2015. Hundreds of contributions, bug reports and fixes have turned rough scripts into controls that ship in real games and apps.
Maintained, not abandoned
Keeping 126 controls working across new Unity releases — like the move to Unity 6 — takes ongoing, unglamorous maintenance. Your support pays for that time.
Free for the next developer
Backing the project keeps it free and open for everyone who comes after you — no subscriptions, no royalties, no catch. Ever.
Ways to give
Pick whatever suits you — a recurring pledge, a one-off coffee, or whatever you can spare.

Not all contributions are cash
Honestly? Money is only one way to help — and rarely the most valuable. These count just as much.
🐙 Contribute code & fixes
Found a bug or built a control you would have wanted? Open a pull request on uGUI or UI Toolkit. Every contributor is credited.
🐛 Report bugs & ideas
A clear, reproducible issue report is worth its weight in gold — it is often the difference between a control that "works in a demo" and one that ships.
📝 Improve the docs & examples
Fix a typo, clarify a step, add a sample scene or a screenshot. Documentation help makes the project easier for the next developer to pick up.
💬 Help other developers
Answer a question in Gitter or GitHub Discussions. A welcoming community is what keeps an open-source project alive.
⭐ Star & share
Star the repos and tell the next team rebuilding a colour picker from scratch. It costs nothing and grows the project's reach.
🗣️ Spread the word
Wrote a tutorial, shipped a game, or gave a talk using the controls? Let us know — we love featuring community work.
Every bit helps. Thank you.
Money, code, a bug report, or just a kind word in Gitter — it all keeps the project free and well.
