NoticeDesk

Open-source license reports and NOTICE files, made offline

Scans a project folder’s dependencies offline (Swift packages, npm and Python), identifies each license from the metadata and the license files, flags copyleft, unknown and missing licenses with plain-language notes, and writes a client-ready PDF report, a NOTICE.txt with every license text, and CSV or JSON. Not legal advice.

Privacy

NoticeDesk only reads: it never writes into your project, and nothing is uploaded. The only network requests are the license check with Gumroad and checking for updates.
