Keep a contribution identifiable
Stable Change IDs follow supported rewrites, helping a contribution remain recognizable as it is refined for review.
Change identityOpen source deserves
room to grow.
More time for maintainers to build. Fewer infrastructure costs standing in the way. TOVIO aims to support free hosting for open-source projects while keeping its open core moving.
Managed TOVIO hosting is not available yet. Dedicated open-source program enrollment and terms have not been announced. This page explains the goal, not an active hosting offer.
An open core that keeps improving.
Ongoing work on the Apache-2.0 engine, CLI, SDKs, and specification.
A free place for projects to collaborate.
Help cover the infrastructure and operation of future open-source hosting.
A sustainable foundation.
The funding model combines commercial products with voluntary contributions toward core development and hosting.
Built around
maintainers’ work.
A repository can hold more than source files. TOVIO’s model brings code, assets, change identity, and agent authority into the same version-control system.
Keep assets with the project
Native binary storage handles models, design assets, and media in the same history. Hosting quotas and usage rules still apply.
Binary storageGive agents explicit authority
Set path, operation, and lifetime boundaries for agent work, then review its provenance and any permitted captured context.
Agent workflowThese describe supported product mechanisms. They do not promise an unlimited service, automatic acceptance of contributions, or a currently available open-source hosting program.
Open core.
Free hosting.
Different commitments.
Know what the license grants, what a hosting plan covers, and what remains to be defined for the open-source program.
| Area | What it means | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| Apache-2.0 core | Rights to use, modify, and distribute the covered engine, CLI, SDKs, and specification under their license. Publication availability is a separate release decision. | Open-core model |
| Commercial Forge | The collaboration product has a separate commercial license. The core license does not grant a right to operate the proprietary Forge as a competing hosted service. | Licensing |
| Free hosting plan | The general Free plan is described in the pricing catalog, with defined allowances. A published price is not evidence that hosted signup is open. | Free plan & availability |
| Open-source hosting goal | Free hosting for open-source projects is a funding priority. Program eligibility, capacity, allowances, and enrollment must be published before they can be relied on. | Publication status |
Maintaining a project?
Help shape the plan.
Share your project’s hosting needs in TOVIO’s public feedback portal. Use public information only. This does not enroll your project or guarantee capacity.
Share your project’s needs- A public repository link and the project’s license
- Maintainer and contributor workflows
- Approximate repository and binary-asset storage needs
- Agent, CI, integration, and migration requirements
- Any access, retention, or governance constraints
Help keep the core moving.
Help keep hosting possible.
Voluntary contributions help fund continued open-core development and the infrastructure needed to host open-source projects for free. Donating does not purchase hosting, priority access, or a support entitlement.
