---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Calculator | gnome-calculator | Calculator | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Calendar | gnome-calendar | Calendar | GTK4+Adw | N | karlender | Karlender is preinstalled with Phosh. |
Characters | gnome-characters | Character map | GTK4+Adw | Y | squeekboard's emoji selector | It's pretty easy to accidentally click the icons, and the popups don't have an X button, so you have to go back to the app drawer to close them. |
Cheese | cheese | Camera | GTK3 | N | megapixels | Does not support ARM cameras. Soon to be replaced with Snapshot, which is GTK4+Adw and adaptive. |
Clocks | gnome-clocks | Clocks | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Connections | gnome-connections | Remote desktop access | GTK3+Hdy | N | N | No open issue about GTK4 port, so likely no plans (yet?) |
Console | gnome-console | Terminal | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Contacts | gnome-contacts | Contacts | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Disk Usage Analyzer | baobab | Disk usage analyzer | GTK4+Adw | N | gnome-usage | No issue for tracking adaptivity, though there is #73 for hiding the chart that takes up significant amounts of space |
Disks | gnome-disk-utility | Disk partitioning/management | GTK3+Hdy | Y | - | GTK4+Adw port and redesign are being discussed in #274. |
Document Scanner | simple-scan | Scanning software | GTK3+Hdy | N | N | GTK4 port appears to have been merged and will likely make it into GNOME 45, still due for a redesign (tracked in #349) |
Document Viewer | evince | Document viewer | GTK3+Hdy | Y | Firefox can read .pdf files | Work on a GTK4+Adw port is underway, see evince-next branch; likely will not make it before GNOME 45, maybe GNOME 46? |
Extensions | gnome-shell | Extension manager for GNOME | GTK4+Adw | P | extension-manager (not in Alpine) | Not useful on Phosh. |
Files | nautilus | File manager | GTK4+Adw | P | portfolio | It's adaptive, but for some reason treats taps as right-clicks. |
Fonts | gnome-font-viewer | Font manager | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | In my testing, the font waterfall was completely blank (black square with scrollbars). Upstream issue |
Help | yelp | Help document viewer | GTK3+Hdy[1] | N | N | Used for the "Help" option in a handful of GNOME apps. GTK4 port tracked in #200. |
Image Viewer | eog | Image viewer | GTK3+Hdy[1] | Y | - | Soon to be replaced with Loupe which is GTK4+Adw and adaptive. |
Logs | - | Log viewer | GTK4+Adw | N | Not packaged in Alpine, as it requires systemd | |
Maps | gnome-maps | Maps | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Music | gnome-music | Music player and organizer | GTK4+Adw | N | lollypop | |
Photos | gnome-photos | Photo organizer | GTK3+Hdy | N | N | Adaptivity tweaks tracked in #131, seemingly no progress in the last 2 years; no issue for GTK4+Adw port |

Software | gnome-software | Software store | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
System Monitor | gnome-system-monitor | System usage monitor | GTK3+Hdy | N | gnome-usage | GTK4 port is work in progress, see !55; unlikely to make it into GNOME 45 though, and no word on any adaptivity improvements |
Text Editor | gnome-text-editor | Plain text editor | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Tour | gnome-tour | GNOME tour | GTK4+Adw | N | postmarketos-welcome | Mostly useless in Phosh |
