Made by Ambient Design, a New Zealand based software development company specialising in creative tools for artists.
Not a subscription—buy it once, use it forever. You need to pay to upgrade to new versions (e.g. from 5.0 up to 6.0), but you get a discount. Great if you're on a budget and don't want to be locked into Adobe.
Not sure when the sale ends. It's been on since early Jan 2021. I don't expect it'll be on for much longer. If you contact them and find out, let me know and I'll add the end date.
