My Story — Why This Software Is Free

After spending years in the office automation industry, I’ve seen many schools, small businesses, and non-profits struggle to afford "follow-me" printing solutions.

The tech behind it isn't actually that complicated, so I decided to build something simple to give back to the community. I’m a firm believer that not all software needs to be monetized, especially in the modern era of subscription models with accumulatively high charges for very little in return.

This isn't a "freemium" trap. There’s no hidden premium tier, no investors looking for a profit, and definitely no data harvesting happening in the background. What you see is exactly what you get.

We maintain this project in our own time because we genuinely want to make a difference. If you find this project helpful and would like to make a donation to support its development, please feel free to reach out through the Get in touch section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FollowMeFree Printing really free?

Yes, 100%. FollowMeFree is open-source software released under the MIT license. There are no license fees, no per-user charges, no subscription costs, and no premium tiers. It is completely free to download, install, and use.

How is this different from other follow-me printing solutions?

Traditional follow-me printing solutions require you to release print jobs from the printer's built-in control panel, often needing expensive card readers or embedded software. This solution lets you release print jobs directly from your mobile phone to any printer, eliminating the need for any proprietary software or hardware add-ons.

What printers are supported?

FollowMeFree works with virtually any network-connected printer. There is no need for special printer hardware, embedded interfaces, or vendor-specific integrations.

Does FollowMeFree run on the local network?

Yes. FollowMeFree is installed on your own server and runs on your local network, keeping print release traffic inside your environment while users release jobs from their mobile devices.

Is it secure?

Yes. Print jobs are held securely on the server and only released when you authenticate and tap "Print" on your mobile device. Documents are never left unattended on printer trays.

How many users and printers can it support?

There are no artificial limits. You can use this software with as many printers and users as you require. The software scales based on your server hardware.
