Salamandra was created and grew as free software, with the goal of providing accessible and easy-to-use radio automation. And that will continue.

Salamandra PLUS was created as a way to allow the project to continue evolving sustainably, bringing a set of additional tools aimed at users who want extra features for organizing and operating radio programming.

What changes and what stays the same

Free

Playout, which is the Salamandra you already know, will remain free, with no locks or restrictions on any existing features.

New free features will also continue to be added.

PLUS

The PLUS version will provide additional tools, either inside Playout or in separate software, activated through licensing.

Using PLUS will be completely optional, and the free features will continue to work normally without PLUS.

What is the purpose of Salamandra PLUS

The goal of Salamandra PLUS is not to turn Salamandra into a complex system or one aimed at large radio networks.

The proposal remains the same that has always guided the project:

Simple, practical tools that save time in day-to-day operations.

PLUS features will mainly focus on:

  • speeding up routine tasks
  • reducing manual work
  • better organizing radio station processes
  • making daily operations easier

In other words, preserving the spirit of Salamandra while offering tools that bring more practicality to those who work with the system.

The use of these tools is optional.

Why create Salamandra PLUS?

Developing and maintaining software requires time, infrastructure, and constant maintenance.

Many users also request features found in commercial software, which usually require more development and support.

Salamandra PLUS is a way to make the development of these tools viable without compromising the existence of the free version.


What is SpotPlanner?

SpotPlanner is a commercial break planning tool integrated with Salamandra.

It allows users to organize campaigns and automatically generate the commercial blocks that will run in the playout system.


What happens to users who already donated to the project?

As a thank you for supporting the software’s development, donors who contributed before the PLUS announcement (April 8, 2026) will receive a lifetime Salamandra PLUS license, with lifetime access to future updates.

This means these users will have permanent rights both to use the software and to receive new versions released over time.

If you have already donated, please contact us through the methods listed in the "Contact" menu above so we can verify your contribution.


Is it still possible to make donations?

No.

We appreciate the interest in continuing to support the project, but the voluntary donation period ended on April 30, 2026.

From this date onward, Salamandra PLUS can be purchased at the official price listed on the product page.


What is the difference between a lifetime usage license and updates?

A lifetime usage license refers to the permanent right to use Salamandra PLUS.

Updates refer to the period during which you will receive new releases.

  • Lifetime usage license + lifetime updates: permanent access to usage and all future versions
  • Lifetime usage license + time-limited updates: permanent use of the versions released within the purchased period

After the update period ends, the software will continue working normally, without restrictions.


When will Salamandra PLUS be released?

The release is planned for the second half of July.

More information and details will be announced closer to the release date.


Where can I follow project updates?

News and updates will continue to be shared through Salamandra’s official channels and the project website.


Is Salamandra a community project?

Salamandra highly values community participation. Ideas, suggestions, and user feedback are always welcome and contribute to the continuous evolution of the software.

At the same time, Salamandra is an independent project, with development, implementation, and maintenance carried out by the author, who defines priorities, direction, and technical decisions according to the product roadmap.

Community feedback is essential for improving the experience, but it does not constitute co-authorship or direct participation in the project’s implementation or decisions.


Who develops Salamandra?

Salamandra is an independent project developed by a single developer, Matheus Carolino.

All software development, infrastructure, website management, and project maintenance are carried out directly by the creator of Salamandra.

In some cases, the project may refer to itself using terms such as "we" or "our". This is simply a communication style adopted to maintain a more professional standard and does not indicate the existence of a team, organization, or collective management behind Salamandra.

The official communication channels are exclusively those listed on the website and within the software. Statements, contacts, or promises made by third parties are not the responsibility of the developer.
