GNOME Core Applications

(Redirected from GNOME applications)

The GNOME Core Applications are a software suite of approximately 30 software applications that are packaged as part of the standard free and open-source GNOME desktop environment. GNOME Core Applications have the look and feel of the GNOME desktop, and often utilize the Adwaita design language. Some applications have been written from scratch and others are ports.

The employment of the newest graphical widgets offered by the latest version of GTK in order to implement the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG)[2] ergonomically is the only feature which all GNOME Core Applications have in common. Most are graphical front-ends, e.g. GNOME Software, to underlying Linux system daemons, like e.g. journald, PackageKit, NetworkManager or PulseAudio.

A comprehensive list of these aplications is aviable at apps.gnome.org

GNOME Circle is a collection of applications which have been built to extend the GNOME platform,[4] utilize GNOME technologies, and follow the GNOME human interface guidelines.[5] They are hosted, developed, and managed in the GNOME official development infrastructure, on gitlab.gnome.org. Developers who are using the GNOME platform can apply for inclusion in GNOME Circle. Benefits include promotional support and eligibility for project contributors to become GNOME Foundation members.[4] Circle applications are not part of GNOME Core Applications.

Some examples of such applications include:

  • Lollypop - a music player
  • Apostrophe - a markdown editor
  • Fragments - a torrent manager
  • Gaphor - UML and SysML modeling tool
  • Health - a fitness tracker
  • Fractal / Polari - messaging apps
  • Wike (software) - a Wikipedia browser
  • Authenticator - a two-factor authentication code generator
  • Pika Backup - a backup software
  • Eyedropper - a color picker and formatter utility
