the part nobody tells you about
Every paid native app re-solves the same three problems by hand.
01 Licensing is a security minefield<br>License keys, machine activation, and a fail-closed offline grace window are fiddly to get right — and easy to ship insecure.
02 Payments mean tax compliance<br>Selling worldwide drags in VAT, sales tax, and reporting. Get it wrong and it’s your problem, not your customer’s.
03 Shipping macOS is a gauntlet<br>Developer ID signing, notarization, stapling, and a CDN stand between your build and a download users will actually open.
what you get<br>Three pillars, composed — not three projects.<br>licensing<br>Licensing that just works<br>A Rust crate validates keys, node-locks the machine, and keeps working offline within a grace window. One build runs locked (free demo) and unlocks at runtime when a license validates — no separate demo binary, no recompile.
checkout<br>Get paid, skip the tax<br>Sell through a Merchant-of-Record (you bring Paddle): VAT and sales tax handled worldwide. A webhook mints a license key on purchase and revokes it on refund. You never touch billing or tax.
distribution<br>Ship signed & notarized<br>One command (or a GitHub Action) builds → codesigns → notarizes → staples → publishes your .dmg to a CDN. The Apple gauntlet, scripted.
Scaffold a new monetized app in ~8 config values.
how it works<br>Three steps. One small diff.
The licensing core is a runtime gate — add the plugin, check unlocked(),<br>ship. No second “pro” build to maintain.
// 1. add the crate, gate paid features at runtime<br>app.add_plugins(LicensingPlugin::keygen(config));
if licensed.unlocked() { /* paid feature */ }<br>1 Add the crate, gate paid features<br>Drop in the licensing plugin and guard paid code paths behind a runtime check. One binary ships as a free demo and unlocks when a key validates.
2 Connect your Paddle account<br>Purchases become license keys automatically via webhook; refunds revoke them. You stay the Merchant-of-Record — tax handled, money never touches us.
3 Run release.sh<br>Build → codesign → notarize → staple → publish. Out comes a signed, notarized download. Done.
why trust it<br>Born from a shipping app.
Rustify is extracted from LATTICE , a real macOS Rust app already selling<br>through this exact stack. The gotchas — keygen’s license-auth scheme, fail-closed offline<br>grace, Apple notarization — are already hit, debugged, and shipping. macOS today; Windows<br>& Linux next.
✓ You keep your own Paddle + Apple accounts — Rustify never touches your money or your signing keys.<br>✓ Fail-closed offline grace, keygen license-auth, and Apple notarization are already debugged in production.
shipping today<br>Real, paid apps already run on this stack.
Rustify is the licensing, checkout, and distribution stack pulled straight out of shipping<br>apps — not a prototype. These two take real money on macOS today, on the exact pieces you'd<br>otherwise build by hand.

No. You bring your own Merchant-of-Record (Paddle); Rustify never touches your money.
