What you can build

Mini apps are reviewed against the law, plus three rules of our own: no apps made for children, no political campaigning, and no arranging for strangers to meet. Taste is yours. Your own brand is welcome, and so are romance, flirting, dark humour and edgy topics. This page lists what crosses the line. It says the same as the Mini App Developer Terms (B3), which you accept each time you publish.

Allowed

• Your own brand. Your app's name, logo, colours and style. You can mention other brands and products — "works with Google Sheets", "compare iPhone and Pixel" — as long as you don't pretend to be them.
• Romantic, flirtatious, suggestive or edgy content that stops short of sexually explicit: dating coaches, romance stories, horror, roasting games.
• Games of chance played for fun, with no real money: dice, spin the wheel, fortune telling.
• General information about health, law or money, with a plain note that it is not professional advice.
• Charging people, through the app's memberships on Token Harbor.

Not allowed

Illegal goods and services

• Weapons, drugs, or anything else illegal — selling it, or helping people get or use it.
• Gambling, betting or lotteries for real money.
• Pirated content, or selling copyrighted work that isn't yours.

Not allowed: a betting tipster that takes stakes; a "free movies" app. Fine: a quiz with points and no money.

Sexually explicit content

• Sex acts or nudity, written or shown; pornography.
• Anything sexual involving a minor — never. It is removed and reported to the authorities.

Fine: a flirting coach, a romance story that fades to black.

Harm

• Violence, self-harm, hate, harassment or extremism.
• Instructions that put people in danger.

Deceiving people

• Phishing, scams, fake prizes or giveaways, misleading claims.
• Passing the app off as another real company, person, government or official body so that people trust it.

Not allowed: "Bank of X — verify your account". Fine: "Statement Helper — reads your Bank of X statements", under your own name.

Asking for secrets

• Passwords, payment card numbers, bank details, government ID numbers or health records.
• Personal data the app does not need.

Money taken another way

• Payment links, bank transfers, crypto addresses or anything else outside the app's memberships. People pay through Token Harbor only.
• Investment, trading or crypto schemes that promise returns.

Posing as a professional

• Presenting the app as a licensed doctor, lawyer or financial adviser.
• Medical, legal or financial instructions given as if they were a professional's.

Made for children

• Apps made for children under 13 to use themselves. Token Harbor isn't for them.

Fine: a lesson planner for teachers, a bedtime-story writer a parent reads aloud.

Political campaigning

• Campaigning for or against a candidate, party or ballot measure: election ads, campaign fundraising, getting out the vote for one side.

Fine: neutral information about how to vote, news, debate practice.

Meeting strangers

• Arranging for strangers to meet in person: dating or hookup matching, meetups between people who found each other in the app.

Fine: dating advice, an AI companion, planning with people you already know.

Getting around Token Harbor

• Using the app to bulk-generate content, or to resell the AI as a service of your own.
• Malware or deliberately hidden code, or trying to break out of the app's frame.
• Telling the AI to ignore its rules, or writing to the reviewers inside the app.
• An app made for what the chat itself would refuse.

Not ready yet

A blank, broken or placeholder page isn't a rule broken: it is sent back until it works.

What happens

• Before it goes public. Every version is reviewed when you press Publish — usually within minutes, a few days when it needs a closer look.
• Sent back. Something needs changing first. The note on the app's page and in your e-mail says what. Change it and publish again.
• Not approved. The app broke a rule above. It stays private for good: you can still use it yourself, but it can't be published or shared. The reason is on its page.
• After it is public. Anyone can report an app from the link under it. A person looks at every report. An app that breaks these rules is taken down, and you are told what and why; you can reply to have it looked at again.
• Serious or repeated breaks. We may stop you publishing mini apps.
