FlatPark is a Flatpak hub for apps that ship as a definitive download, built to be driven by AI agents.
- AI-driven by design. Onboarding, review, publishing, upgrading, and cleanup are all meant to be driven by AI agents. Leaning on agents to do this work efficiently is a primary goal, not an afterthought.
- 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 are dead weight on your disk, so the whole catalog moves forward together.
- extra-data only, no build hosting. FlatPark hosts only extra-data apps: it downloads official releases and repackages them — it never builds the app from source. (Supporting libraries the runtime lacks may be built from pinned source; the app itself is always the vendor's own binary.) That keeps installing and updating the apps you need in one place, while Flatpak keeps them sandboxed and out of your home directory.
- Open to vibe-coded apps, with guardrails. Apps built with AI ("vibe coding") are welcome, under clear rules enforced by AI review that weighs development history and app quality — and with an explicit de-listing process.
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flatpark https://dl.flatpark.org/flatpark.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install flatpark <app-id>--user installs into your home (no admin); drop it from both commands for a
system-wide install. Browse the catalog at https://flatpark.org.
Onboarding is meant to run through an AI agent. Open this repo in your agent (e.g. Claude Code) and prompt it:
I want to publish <app or upstream URL> to FlatPark. Read
CONTRIBUTING.mdand the existing PRs, then write and validate the manifest underregistry/<app-id>/.
It writes the flatpark.yml descriptor and Flatpak manifest, validates and
test-builds them, and opens a PR. If it can't get there from the rules and the
existing PRs, open an issue — letting an agent submit, test, and PR end-to-end
is the goal.
FlatPark's own code is MIT. It does not license the packaged applications themselves — those remain their vendors' property and are fetched from official sources at install time.
