New Product Type: Application

As part of our ongoing efforts to make our platform more flexible for various types of software, we are excited to introduce a new product type: Application.

Freemius Developer Dashboard with App type product

This new category is designed for software such as:

Desktop Applications (e.g., Microsoft Windows or macOS software)
Chrome Extensions (or any other browser extensions requiring activation)
Electron Apps (cross-platform apps built with web technologies)
CLI Tools (command-line utilities that need a license key)
Server Software (self-hosted applications that require activation)
Plugins for Non-WordPress Platforms (e.g., Shopify apps, VS Code extensions)

Essentially, any downloadable software that requires a license for activation fits perfectly into this category. Simply create a new product to get started.

To learn more about integrating license activation into your product, please refer to our documentation.
