About Pi-Apps

Pi-Apps is a graphical app store for Raspberry Pi and other ARM Linux devices. It lists applications with descriptions, project links, popularity information, and the install and uninstall scripts used for each app. Users can install or remove several apps at once and track progress, and the app notifies them when installed apps have updates.

The homepage says Pi-Apps is built with YAD, which uses the GTK toolkit, and that this requires few system resources. It also follows the system theme and can be customized with installed GTK themes. The homepage describes the app as free and says the source code is available on GitHub under GPL-3. The directory record lists open source status as false and no repository, so that detail should be checked before relying on it. Known pricing is listed as unknown.
