## App eligibilty
If you want to add an app to Pi-Apps, it needs to follow these rules:
- The app needs to be useful for people who use their Raspberry Pi as an everyday, desktop computer.
- Apps that are meant to run on a headless Pi will not be accepted. (Rosetta@home, pihole, etc)
- Apps that are not designed for everyday GUI users won't be accepted. (command-line file servers, webservers, etc)
- The app needs to be legal to download and use. (No piracy allowed)
- Paid apps are allowed. If your app has a free demo mode (like Doom 3), please ask the user if they want the demo mode or the full version.
- The app should be appropriate for all ages. After all, Raspberry Pies are designed with children in mind.
- Even if your app follows all of these guidelines, there still may be a reason we decide not to add it to the official Pi-Apps repository. If that happens, you can still take advantage of Pi-Apps's features by telling your users to import the zip file for your app.

## Badge
