Developer Terms

Becoming a developer

Any account can become a developer from the developer console. You choose a publisher name, which every app you publish shows, and you agree to these terms and the Terms of Service. The publisher name must be yours to use. Only an administrator changes it later, for example to settle a claim on a name.

Your apps

You own your apps. By publishing one, you give Tinylib permission to store it, serve it to anyone with its link, show its listing, and make the copies needed to do so, for as long as it is published.

You are responsible for your app: what it does, what it says, the files in it, and having the rights to all of them. Its listing must describe it honestly.

An app is published exactly as you sent it. Tinylib does not edit it, and changes reach people the next time they open it.

Apps we refuse

Tinylib does not host or list apps that are:

• Illegal, or that help someone break the law.
• Sexual content.
• Scams, phishing, or anything that tricks people into giving up money, passwords or personal details.
• Impersonating a person, a brand or another app.
• Hateful, harassing or violent toward people.
• Malware, or built to harm a device or a person’s data.
• Broken or empty.

People’s data

An app receives the name apps see for each person who opens it, and what that person saves in it. Use it only to make your app work for that person. Do not sell it, share it outside your app, or use it to identify people elsewhere.

Notifications your app sends must be ones people asked for. Tinylib limits how many your server may send, and may turn off the ability for an app that sends spam.

The free plan and the subscription

An account publishes up to 3 apps for free. A subscription, paid monthly or yearly through Stripe, lifts that cap. It renews until you cancel it with Manage subscription in the console, and it ends at the end of the period you paid for. Payments are not refunded for part of a period.

If a subscription ends, your apps keep running, and you can publish again once the account is within the free cap.

What we may do

We may unlist, suspend or delete an app, or suspend a developer account, that breaks these terms or the Terms of Service, or when the law requires it. A suspended app stops opening, and the data people saved in it is kept. Where we can, we tell you first and say why.

To report an app, or to dispute a decision about yours, write to legal@tinylib.app.

Changes

When these terms change, the date at the top changes and the console asks you to agree again before your next publish. Your apps keep running in the meantime.
