r/linuxapps

I've set up GitHub Sponsors and I'm humbly asking if anyone would be willing to sponsor the project. Even $5/month goes a long way toward helping me dedicate real time to it instead of squeezing in development around paid work.

Your sponsorship would directly help me:

- Spend more focused hours on the project each week

- Fix bugs and respond to issues faster

- Ship features the community has been asking for

- Keep it free and open-source for everyone

👉 GitHub Sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/abeni16

I'm not looking for anything in return — just support from people who believe in open-source. Thank you for even reading this far. 🙏

I was tired of the same dropdown lists and huge tables, so I created a tool that automatically takes you the next step. It's like typing colors.

Supports band resistors and SMD resistors right now.

Has history and encoders which means you can find any resistor code and color combination by entering the resistance.

Feel free to share your feedback and thoughts on this.

hey r/linuxapps 👋

just shipped Linux support for marka.md — a free, local markdown editor i built

for organizing the .md files i kept pasting into Claude / ChatGPT.

three Linux flavors:

- AppImage (works on any distro)

- .deb (Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS)

- .rpm (Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE / Rocky)

stack: tauri 2 + react 19, ~12MB binary, no telemetry, MIT licensed,

auto-updates via signed releases.

features:

- IDE-style folder sidebar with drag-to-organize

- Ctrl+Shift+C copies clean markdown to clipboard

- live preview (markdown-it + shiki + mermaid)

- reading mode, find/replace, Ctrl+K palette

- 5 themes (catppuccin family + matcha)

honestly built it for myself because vim → cat → paste into Claude was getting

old.

honest feedback welcome 🐧

Hi everyone,

I’ve just published OmniPkg, a native GTK4 software manager for Linux users who end up using more than one package ecosystem.

It currently supports APT, DNF/dnf5, Zypper, Pacman, AUR via yay/paru, APK, XBPS, eopkg, Flatpak, Snap, Homebrew, npm, pipx, AppImages and archive-based manual installs.

The idea is not to replace those tools. OmniPkg detects what is available on your system and gives you one desktop interface for searching, installing, updating and viewing installed apps.

A few things it tries to do nicely:

- show real app names and icons using .desktop/AppStream data

- manage manually installed AppImages and archives with desktop launchers

- provide one installed-apps view across different sources

- stay native GTK4 instead of being an Electron/web app

- support both German and English UI

It is still a young project, so testing and criticism are very welcome — especially on different distributions.

I am the maintainer of Super Productivity, a free open source task manager and time tracker for desktop, web, and mobile.

It is available on Linux via Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, AUR, and other package formats. It works offline by default, has no account requirement, no telemetry, and supports optional sync via WebDAV, Dropbox, or Super Sync.

v18.5.0 just shipped with:

• Reworked Focus Mode
• Scheduler view improvements with reference calendar and work-log events
• Week view scaling in the schedule view
• Estimated time in iCal/ICS planner entries
• Project sections for structuring larger task lists
• User-installable plain-CSS themes and new theme polish
• Ctrl+Enter and Escape task shortcuts
• UI/readability fixes and translation updates

If you use task/time-tracking apps on Linux, I would be especially interested in what package format and desktop workflow you prefer.

Note-taking, To-Do-App with CalDav Sync?

hello everyone, does anyone know a note-taking tool that allows you to create tasks in the notes, but then manage them in a separate list or manage them like other to-do apps (without having to search for the tasks in the respective notes)?

if then these can also be scheduled in a calendar and the whole thing can be synced via CalDAV. that would be exactly what I’m looking for and absolutely perfect.

The most similar thing I found is Planify, but it’s not as well suited for notes.
