This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
I kept running into the same wall: every time I shipped a desktop or paid app, I had to rebuild licensing, login, HWID, sessions, and “is this user still allowed in?” from scratch. Existing auth panels were either too heavy, too opaque, or built for a different kind of product than what I was making.
I wanted one dashboard where I could create an app, issue keys, see who’s online, kick a session, ship an update, and call a simple API from C#, Go, or PHP, without standing up my own auth backend every time.
VelvetAuth started as that missing piece for my own projects. Once it worked, it felt obvious other indie developers needed the same thing: license keys, user auth, and control in one place, without making security the whole job.
