Keymaster is a licensing server you own, for people who sell software. It issues ed25519-signed license keys (KM1.under payloadover .under signatureover ) your apps verify completely offline with just the public key, enforces seat limits with machine fingerprints, delivers builds through signed URLs that expire in 15 minutes, and fires HMAC-signed webhooks on every activation. Keygen.sh starts at $99/mo ($1,188/yr); Gumroad skims 10% + 50¢ off every sale — at $10k/yr in sales that's over $1,000 a year. Keymaster is $49 once on a $5 VPS, and the signing keypair is yours.
