Edit: The OSR Market is now LIVE!!

Hello!

I haven’t been very active in this forum for a while, so for those who don’t know me (or may have forgotten :upside_down_face:), I’m Sorites Paradox, the creator of Ayva Software (https://ayvasoftware.io). I’ve been a part of the OSR community for some time, contributing tools and software that many OSR users might recognize.

Lately, I’ve been hard at work on an exciting new project: the OSR Market. I’m finally at a point where I can share more details about it. This isn’t just another storefront—it’s something I hope will spark a new wave of innovation, collaboration, and growth for Ayva Software and the broader OSR ecosystem.

The OSR Market will be a dedicated online platform offering products from a curated selection of trusted suppliers specializing in OSR devices and accessories. Focused on quality and reliability, it will ensure a seamless and secure shopping experience with products vetted for performance and trustworthiness. In addition to OSR devices, the marketplace will offer a variety of complementary accessories, providing everything needed to enhance the user experience while fostering accountability, innovation, and growth within the community.

To give you a glimpse of what’s to come, here’s a shameless promo:

Behind the Scenes: The OSR motion featured in this promo was generated using Ayva Dance—early-stage software I’m developing to make creating advanced “dances” more accessible for the general user.

You might recognize the products from our first supplier…

This partnership sets the tone for what you can expect from the OSR Market: trusted products and creators, handpicked to meet the needs of our community.

    • A portion of all sales will contribute to Ayva Software, enabling the creation and maintenance of advanced tools, libraries, and innovations for the OSR community (many of which are free).

  5. Superior Shopping Experience

    • The platform will offer a streamlined interface designed specifically for the OSR and related accessories, reducing distractions with no ads, pop-ups, or irrelevant product suggestions.

Thanks!

I really appreciate you asking this because it’s a question I’ve been preparing to address in more detail. Here’s the short version of what makes this store stand out:

Premium Software & Features Included (Ayva Access)

The device you mentioned is labeled Ayva Access, which means it comes with lifetime access to premium features in Ayva Software. These are features that would otherwise require a paid subscription:

  • Currently Available: Advanced control mechanisms in Ayva Remote, including Teledong and T-Joy support.
  • Coming Soon: In-app audio and video streaming for Ayva Remote, plus more premium features for other Ayva Software apps launching throughout 2025. These upgrades will only be available to Ayva Access customers or paid subscribers, so purchasing now locks in a lifetime of these perks as they are developed. More info here: Ayva Access.

Faster, More Reliable Shipping

On this platform, FunSR exclusively uses UPS, offering faster and more reliable shipping compared to AliExpress Standard. This means you’ll get your device sooner, with better tracking and fewer delays.

Supporting Innovators & Creators

  • A portion of every sale directly supports TempestMax, the designer behind these devices. Your support recognizes his contributions and helps fund continued innovation.
  • Ayva Software is also supported by these sales, enabling ongoing development of exciting new features and updates.

Dedicated Support & Repairs

  • Every order includes dedicated support through a chat system linked to your order details, provided by Ayva Software.
  • If repairs or replacement parts are ever needed, shipping may take place from the USA, simplifying the process compared to dealing with overseas logistics.

Flexible Return Policy

Beyond the standard return window, we also offer case-by-case partial returns for devices that can be refurbished. This added flexibility gives customers peace of mind if something changes down the road. See Return Policy.

Transparency and Sustainability

  • The storefront is designed to give you clear, detailed product descriptions, so you know exactly what you’re getting—no guesswork.
  • Your purchase also supports the long-term sustainability of suppliers like FunSR, helping them maintain operations and innovate through key behind-the-scenes platform benefits.

I totally understand that the upfront cost might seem higher, but when you factor in the lifetime software perks, faster shipping, dedicated support, and flexible return policies, the added value becomes clear. Plus, every purchase helps support the creators and suppliers behind the scenes, keeping the ecosystem healthy and growing for everyone.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
