About FlatPark

FlatPark is a community Flatpak hub for apps that ship as a definitive download — an official installer or prebuilt archive at a stable, public release URL. FlatPark fetches that release at build time, repackages it as a Flatpak (extra-data), pins it, and signs the result. It never builds the app itself from source.

Why it exists

• One runtime version, always the latest. Every app targets the current major of its runtime — never one app on GNOME 49 and another on 50. Old majors sit unused on your disk, so the whole catalog moves forward together and you keep just one copy.
• Sandboxed and out of your home directory. Flatpak keeps each app sandboxed; FlatPark keeps the permissions tight and surfaces them on every app page.
• One place to install and update. Apps that otherwise ship only a raw .deb, .rpm, tarball, or AppImage become installable and auto-updating through one remote.
• Judged by what it does, not how it was written. The “AI slop” label is rampant — Flathub PR queues, Reddit, everywhere — and it routinely dismisses good software with no actual review behind it. FlatPark refuses that reflex: every app here was built, run, and reviewed against a published bar — the only labels we apply are ones we can defend.

How it relates to Flatpak and Flathub

FlatPark is built on Flatpak and is not affiliated with Flathub. Flathub builds most apps from source; FlatPark deliberately only repackages official downloads (extra-data). The two are complementary — if an app is on Flathub, install it there.

Who runs it

FlatPark is an independent, community-run project. Its own code is MIT-licensed; the packaged applications remain their vendors’ property and are fetched from official sources at install time.
