Tinkerer Club
For makers who automate their life, run local AI, and self‑host their stack — instead of renting it from another SaaS every month.

Cancel $92/mo of SaaS sprawl.
Pay $299 once.
Most of us bleed money to $1104/year of overlapping subscriptions. The Tinkerer Club is the opposite of that bill.

// The club doesn't replace these one-for-one. It replaces the reflex of renting another subscription every time you want to learn or build something.

A private community of builders, hackers, and automation enthusiasts who believe in digital sovereignty.
don't just take our word for it
"I joined Tinkerer Club. tbh I'm still figuring out OpenClaw but the energy in his discord is something else."
"it's a lot of fun"
"ngl the energy in @thekitze tinkerer club discord is INSANE. Be around people you want to be around. Loving the success I am seeing from Kitze and everyone in the server - i'm going to be learning a lot"
"im a member of a few paid discord communities and this one hits different. so ahead of the game. nothing else compares. great work @kitze i can't wait to see how you continue to grow the community and its tools!"
"Seriously the energy and 'out of the box' thinking in @tinkererclub is incredible. You become a blend of the folks you surround yourself with. And let me tell you, those are great people to absorb energy and mindset from! Big shoutout to @kitze for fostering this community!"
"One of my the favorite thing about this Discord is that I basically doesn't need to go on X.com anymore to know what's going on in the tech world. 😆 Now I can only go on YouTube to watch long form content!"
"And not just active but with genuinely interesting and useful stuff. Hats off to @kitze on putting this together, it's awesome seeing people from all over the world nerding out about self hosting or building unnecessarily overkill home networks just for fun."
"This is the most active discord server i've ever seen in my entire life. It's so unique."
"unfrickinbelievable what you, @kitze, built here. so well deserved!! I'm an AI nerd, curious mind just loving to vibe (with you guys) and am looking forward to having loads of good conversations and exchanges."
"Hey bro I just wanted to say thanks so much creating this community, and I'm so glad it worked out so well for you! I feel like I've been posting into the void for a long time and never really had a strong online community so I'm really happy to be here."
You're paying rent on your own life.
It's not just about money. It's about who controls your digital life.
Every year, corporations tighten their grip. Prices go up. Features get locked. Terms change.
What if you just... owned it
There's another way.
Thousands of people run their own everything. No subscriptions. No surveillance. Full control.
They don't trust OpenAI with their data. They don't trust Google with their privacy. They don't trust the cloud to always be there.
They own everything.
And they're inside Tinkerers Club, showing others how.

— MORPHEUS
I've been tinkering, automating, shipping apps, and building businesses for 15+ years.
But here's the thing: I'm obsessed with automation. If I do something more than twice, I automate it. My home runs on Home Assistant. My servers run on my own infrastructure. My AI runs locally. I've been tinkering with this stuff since the Android days — Tasker, AutoApps, custom ROMs, the works.
Over the years, I've accumulated a ridiculous amount of knowledge about self-hosting, automation, local AI, and building systems that actually work. Configs, workflows, scripts, "aha" moments — all of it was just sitting in my head and scattered across my machines.
Tinkerers Club is where all of that knowledge lives now. It's for people like me who want to own their digital infrastructure, escape the subscription trap, and build systems that work for them instead of the other way around.
The mission: Build a community where we share everything openly — configs, workflows, knowledge. No gatekeeping, no fluff. Just people who give a damn about owning their tech.
One payment. Lifetime access.
Builder pricing is live. $399 → $299 while 81 spots remain. After that, it's $399 forever.

lifetime access
no_subscriptions && no_renewals && pay_once
- You already pay $50–$150/mo in overlapping subs
- You want to self-host or run local AI
- You like learning by tinkering, not by tutorial
- You want a cheaper Notion / ChatGPT clone
- You want done-for-you setup, not a community
- You can't live without monthly refunds
No refunds — instant access to community + configs. Read first, then pay.
Questions? Answers.
No. God no. One payment = lifetime access. We're allergic to subscriptions. The whole point is to escape recurring payments.
If you're curious and willing to learn, absolutely. All skill levels welcome. What we don't have: annoying anons, spam, or low-effort posts. Just quality people who actually care about automation and owning their tech.
No refunds. This is a private community with immediate access to everything — Discord, configs, videos. Once you're in, you're in. Make sure this is for you before joining.
Immediate access to our private Discord community with dedicated channels for each topic, ready-to-deploy configs, direct access to Kitze, early access to his apps, and a 20% discount on 1:1 calls.
We're building a full web platform that will include: a library of automation ideas and workflows, detailed videos walking through Kitze's entire setup (home automation, AI, servers, everything), plus a weekly newsletter with curated tools and news. Active development, launching soon.
Full walkthroughs of Kitze's setup — Home Assistant automations, self-hosted services, local AI configuration, Mac automation workflows, and more. Not tutorials for beginners, but real configs from a real setup that you can adapt.
Everything from simple time-savers to complex multi-system automations. Think: auto-organizing files, smart home routines, AI-powered workflows, backup systems, notification aggregation, and dozens of 'I can't believe I lived without this' moments.
Because $299 is less than 3 months of the subscriptions you'll cancel. We're not trying to get rich — we're building a community of like-minded tinkerers.
Nope. You can start with a Raspberry Pi or an old laptop. Many members run everything on a single mini PC. We'll help you figure out what makes sense for your setup.
Very. Daily discussions, constant config sharing. This isn't a ghost town Discord — it's people actively helping each other figure things out.
Stop paying rent on your digital life.
Join the people who own their infrastructure, run their own AI, and pay $0/month for software.
