Public apps

Windmill apps are custom-made user interfaces meant to interact with scripts and flows.

By default, deployed apps are accessible to all users that belong to the folder the app was deployed to.

A "Public" app is an app that can be seen and used by users outside this scope (i.e.) folder.

When deployed, an app automatically has a secret public URL.

By default, the public URL can be accessed only by logged-in users with read-access.

You can also toggle "No login required" and anyone with the secret public URL will be able to access the app.

Roles and permissions

Rate limiting

Users can limit the number of public (anonymous) app executions per minute per server. This is useful to prevent abuse of public apps that don't require login.

The setting is found under workspace settings > Advanced > Apps. Set the value to 0 or leave empty to disable rate limiting. This is a per-server limit, not a global limit.

Custom URL

Cloud and enterprise users can also customize the public URL of their app. The app will be available at https://mywindmill.com/a/<custom-path>.

On cloud only, the custom path is prefixed by the workspace name.
