Kid3 is developed in his spare time by Urs Fleisch, a Zurich based professional developer, who also uses Qt in his daily work.

Urs started working with Qt in 2002, the first version of Kid3 was released 2003 as a KDE application for MP3 files (hence the name starting with a K and ending with ID3).

Kid3 has grown for more than 12 years now, it has experienced Qt 2, 3, 4, and 5, today it supports a lot of audio formats and runs on all major desktop operating systems.

Kid3 is Urs’ largest spare time project. He also supports other open source projects with bug reports and patches, and has contributed, among other things, to the Linux kernel, Android, Emacs, Matplotlib, KDE, LXDE, TagLib, Debian and Ubuntu. Another notable larger contribution was improved Python code completion for Emacs (python-mode.el).
