The README's only funding entry is a static shields badge that reads "budget ~$275/mo from 44 supporters". Those numbers can't update, and the badge never mentions AW Pro, although the subscription has been live since 2026-09.

This PR replaces it with two static badges and no numbers:

  • support: ActivityWatch Pro → https://activitywatch.net/go/?src=github-readme
  • donate: one-off → https://activitywatch.net/donate/ (same destination as today, for one-off gifts)

GitHub sends only an origin referrer, so README clicks can only be attributed through the /go/ src tag. github-readme is registered in ActivityWatch/activitywatch.github.io#99. Without that PR the link still works but counts as other, so ideally merge #99 first. The order doesn't matter for users.

Checked both badge URLs against shields.io (they render support: ActivityWatch Pro and donate: one-off); the /go/ URL returns 200.

[Low impact] The PR appears safe to merge.

Summary

Replaces the stale budget badge in README.md with separate ActivityWatch Pro and one-off donation badges.

  • The README now points readers to Pro support and one-off donations.

Acknowledged by TimeToBuildBob: clicks count as other until website PR #99 registers github-readme. The author recommends merging that change first and states that users can follow the link either way.

Greptile reviewed the current head at 5/5 with no findings; CI is still running or queued. No code change needed. Maintainer merge is required here; preferably merge ActivityWatch/activitywatch.github.io#99 first so README clicks retain their attribution.
