FreshTomato is a firmware project based on Linux, for home and SOHO routers. FreshTomato is distributed with the GPL license.

FreshTomato supports systems based on Broadcom chipsets, including ARM- and MIPS-based models. Recently, an X64 variant went into development, and is running. However, not all functions may be as polished/functional as their ARM or MIPS equivalents.

To see if FreshTomato runs on your hardware, please refer to the wiki's Hardware compatibility page.

FreshTomato features a friendly interface, which is considered easy to use even by inexperienced users. It also offers many features, and security and bug fixes that are not available on stock vendor firmware.

Tomato was originally written by Jonathan Zarate, and has been developed over time by the open source community. FreshTomato is currently the most up-to-date fork of Tomato and has about 4 to 5 releases a year.

Release names are based on the year of the release, then the number of the release (NOT the month or date). For example, release 2023.2 is the second release of firmware in the year 2023.
