MoBro Pricing

Yes. The free tier is not a trial — it never expires, needs no account and already covers a full dashboard with 25 metrics. Paid tiers simply raise the limits and add extras.

No. You need no account of any kind — not a Patreon one, not a MoBro one. The free tier runs entirely locally without signing up. An account is only needed to link a paid Patreon tier.

Yes. Pledge annually on Patreon and you are charged once a year at ten months’ price — two months free, for the same benefits. The cards above show what that works out at per month; switch the toggle to Annual to compare.

Yes. Pledges are cancelled directly on Patreon and there is never a cancellation fee. A monthly pledge has no minimum term at all; an annual one covers the year you paid for and then simply stops renewing.

Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked. You keep every dashboard you built; they just fall back to the free tier limits, so a dashboard displays the first 25 metrics and any widgets beyond that stop showing values. The dashboard stays usable, and everything comes back exactly as it was if you pledge again.

Anytime. Change your pledge on Patreon and MoBro picks up the new tier automatically — upgrades and downgrades both take effect without reinstalling anything.

You can still install it and open it. The dashboard displays as many metrics as your tier allows and any widgets beyond that stop showing values, so the layout stays usable and fills in completely if you move up a tier later.

As many as your tier allows active dashboards — one on the free tier, unlimited on Mega Bro. Every screen counts as one: a window on your PC, a Raspberry Pi panel, a phone or tablet. Two screens showing the same dashboard count as two. You can build and keep as many dashboards as you like on any tier; the limit is only how many are open at the same time.

Chart widgets plot on every tier, but their data starts when the dashboard is opened and is lost when it closes. Paid tiers add persistent metric history: once enabled, MoBro records in the background for the period your tier allows — including metrics that no dashboard displays, and while no dashboard is open at all — and lets you export the result as a file. This way you can also look back at what your temperatures or other metrics were doing right in the minutes before a crash.

We're a small team and Patreon lets us keep the billing, payment methods and taxes out of the app. Pledge a tier on Patreon, link your account in MoBro once, and your benefits unlock automatically. Linking only unlocks your tier — MoBro stays local-first either way, and your sensor data never touches our servers.

A metric is a single live value shown on a dashboard — CPU temperature, GPU load, free disk space, network throughput, a weather reading. What counts towards the limit is distinct metrics, not widgets: if you show your CPU temperature as a gauge, in a chart and as plain text, that is still one metric.

An action makes a dashboard interactive: tapping it triggers something on your PC — launch an app, control media playback, run a task. Actions come from plugins, so the marketplace keeps adding more, and you can attach one to any widget or use a dedicated button from the Actions widget pack. Like metrics, the limit counts the distinct actions configured on a dashboard.
