Wouldn't hurt to put a donate link in it... either paypal, like we already have, or a Stripe one. Suggested value of $15, but any amount should be accepted.

If it works out to put a series of values with an "other" button, do the following:

10
15*
25
50
Other

Definitely doable. Would this be say just in the About? Or maybe a one time pop up sometime after the first launch (like maybe the third?).

No pop ups please, anything static would be fine.

I like the idea of the way how carbon copy cloner used to do it, where there was a checkbox somebody could click that said "I paid". There is no validation of this box, just something that would remove any nag.

Conversely, we could just sell a branded version of this.

A banner at the bottom? How obvious do you want it to be?

This would remove "brought to you by Watchman Monitoring".

There would be a donate button much like what's shown on https://backupminder.org

In app's Preferences, there's be a box that said "I Paid" and it would remove the Donate from the main page.

Here's the code:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=44XW83JDM7SL6

or

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="44XW83JDM7SL6">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
