Easy Flatpak – graphical application management utility

Easy Flatpak is a graphical application manager designed to simplify software discovery, installation and maintenance on Linux. Its interface is built with GTK4 and libadwaita, providing a straightforward way to manage applications without relying on terminal commands.

The application provides searchable software listings organised into categories. Multiple applications can be selected for installation, reducing the effort involved in setting up a new desktop or adding a collection of tools. It also supports additional software repositories, giving users more control over their available application sources.

One of Easy Flatpak’s distinctive features is its collection of guided installation recipes. These help users configure applications that may require additional setup, including gaming utilities such as Steam, Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher and Bottles. Installation bundles provide another way to deploy groups of applications efficiently.

Easy Flatpak includes facilities for downgrading applications, pinning particular versions and managing software updates. Users can also import and export lists of installed applications, modify filesystem permissions and perform maintenance operations. These capabilities make the program useful for both routine desktop management and more advanced software administration.

This is free and open source software.
