(collectively, the "Services")

By accessing or using the Services, you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility ​

You must be at least 16 years of age (or the minimum legal age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or legal entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to do so.

3. Account Registration ​

3.1 Creating an Account ​

To access certain features of the Services (including the Dashboard, builds, and distribution), you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Keep your account credentials (email and password) confidential
  • Notify us immediately at contact@desktopr.app of any unauthorized use of your account
  • Be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

3.2 Account Security ​

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. Desktopr will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

3.3 One Account per User ​

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, each user may maintain only one active account. Accounts are non-transferable.

4. Description of Services ​

Desktopr is a no-code and developer-oriented platform that enables you to convert web applications into cross-platform desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux, using the Tauri/Rust framework under the hood.

The Services include:

4.1 Desktop App Builder ​

  • Configure your web application URL, metadata, icons, branding, and build settings
  • Execute builds that produce native desktop installers (.dmg, .exe, .AppImage, .rpm, .deb)
  • Test your configuration in a safe test mode before consuming a build credit
  • Download your compiled installers directly from the Dashboard

4.2 Cloud Build Infrastructure ​

Desktopr compiles and packages your application on cloud infrastructure. Build credits are consumed upon successful (or attempted) final builds, as further described in Section 7.

4.3 Bridge API and SDK ​

The desktopr npm package provides a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK that allows your web app to interact with native OS features through a secure Rust-based bridge layer. Available modules include: app, notifications, clipboard, files, fs, window, events, globalShortcut, menu, network, autostart, badge, plugins, worker, and diagnostics.

4.4 Companion Application ​

The Companion app allows you to test your web application's integration with Desktopr native features before committing to a final build.

4.5 Code Signing and Distribution ​

Desktopr supports code signing for macOS (via Apple Developer ID and Notarization) and Windows (via Certificate Authority). Only signed applications may be distributed through Desktopr's managed distribution service.

4.6 Plugin System ​

Desktopr plugins are WebAssembly (WASM) modules executed by Desktopr inside a native Tauri + Wasmtime + WASI runtime. Every runtime is sandboxed and isolated, without network access and subject to configurable memory and timeout limits.

5. Acceptable Use ​

5.1 Permitted Use ​

You may use the Services solely for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may use Desktopr to convert web applications you own or have the right to distribute into desktop applications.

5.2 Prohibited Use ​

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
  • Infringe any intellectual property rights (copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret) of any third party
  • Distribute malware, spyware, ransomware, viruses, or any other harmful software
  • Build or distribute applications intended to deceive, defraud, or harm end users
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Services
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any component of the Desktopr platform itself
  • Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the Services without prior written consent
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Use the Services to build applications that facilitate illegal activity of any kind
  • Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services in a manner not expressly authorized by these Terms
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services or related infrastructure

Violation of these provisions may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, at our sole discretion.

6. Intellectual Property ​

6.1 Desktopr Platform ​

All intellectual property rights in and to the Desktopr platform, website, documentation, SDK, and associated materials — including but not limited to software, design, trademarks, and brand assets — are owned by or licensed to Desktopr. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership right in the Desktopr platform itself.

6.2 Your Web Application and Content ​

You retain full ownership of your web application, its source code, content, and all compiled desktop application binaries produced through the Services. Desktopr does not claim any ownership interest in your applications or their output.

By using the Services, you grant Desktopr a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process, compile, package, store, and deliver your application solely as necessary to provide the Services to you.

6.3 Your Build Artifacts ​

As explicitly stated in our documentation, the compiled binaries and their build files are entirely owned by you. Desktopr stores them temporarily on cloud infrastructure for download and distribution purposes, but does not assert any intellectual property claim over them.

6.4 Feedback ​

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Services, you grant Desktopr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use such feedback for any purpose, without any obligation of confidentiality or compensation to you.

7. Builds, Credits, and Payments ​

7.1 Build Credits ​

Executing a final build consumes a build credit. Build credits are non-reversible once a build has been initiated. We strongly recommend using the test mode (via the Companion application or Dashboard test environment) to verify your configuration before triggering a final build.

7.2 Pricing and Subscriptions ​

Pricing information, subscription plans, and available build credit packages are detailed on the Dashboard and may be updated from time to time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to pricing.

7.3 Refunds ​

Due to the consumable and cloud-compute nature of build credits, build credits are generally non-refundable once consumed. If you believe a build failed due to a platform error on our side, please contact us at contact@desktopr.app and we will review the case on a discretionary basis.

7.4 Taxes ​

You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies arising from your use of the Services, unless otherwise required by law.

8. Code Signing ​

8.1 Requirement ​

Only signed applications may be distributed through Desktopr's managed distribution service. You are responsible for obtaining the appropriate code signing credentials:

  • macOS: Apple Developer ID certificate (via Apple Developer Program)
  • Windows: Code signing certificate from a recognized Certificate Authority (CA)

8.2 Your Responsibility ​

You represent and warrant that any signing certificates or credentials you provide to Desktopr are validly obtained, belong to you or your organization, and are used in accordance with the issuing authority's terms and policies.

8.3 Notarization ​

For macOS, signed applications are submitted to Apple for notarization as part of the distribution flow. This process is governed by Apple's terms and policies, which are independent of these Terms.

9. Third-Party Services and Dependencies ​

The Services depend on or integrate with third-party technologies and services, including:

  • Tauri — The underlying Rust-based framework for compiling desktop applications (open-source, licensed under MIT/Apache 2.0)
