Keyflow

License keys for indie devs, no server required

What it does

Keyflow gives indie developers a full license-key system without hosting a server. Generate cryptographic keys, validate them in under 30ms, track activations per device, and revoke access instantly from one dashboard. Connect Stripe for automatic key delivery on every sale, or integrate via Python, JavaScript, or C# SDKs. Unlike DIY scripts or heavyweight enterprise tools, Keyflow is built specifically for solo devs shipping desktop apps and plugins.

Générez, validez, suivez et révoquez les clés de licence de votre logiciel. Branchez votre boutique : les clés partent automatiquement à chaque vente. SDK Python, JavaScript et C#.

Keyflow génère, valide, suit et révoque les clés de licence de ton logiciel. Tu branches ta boutique, les clés partent toutes seules. Tirée du générateur cryptographique du système, à l'instant. Alphabet sans I , L , O ni U . Tu vends un logiciel. Il te faut donc des clés de licence : les générer, vérifier qu'elles sont valides au démarrage, compter les machines, couper celles qui ont été remboursées ou partagées. C'est un serveur à écrire, à héberger, à maintenir, à sauvegarder. Du travail qui ne rend ton logiciel…from appkeyflow.com

    I made a simple software licensing platform for developers2025 · keyforge.dev · ▲6

    Hey HN, A few months ago I realized licensing my app wasn't as straightforward as I expected. There was too much setup just to create a license, and the customer experience was not great. All I wanted was for licenses to be generated automatically when I got paid, and for customers to manage their own licenses. So I built Keyforge, a simple software licensing platform for developers. It integrates with Stripe so that licenses are created automatically when someone purchases or subscribes to your product. There's also a self-serve customer portal where users can manage their licenses,…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
