The GNOME Core Applications (also known as Apps for GNOME) are a software suite of software applications that are packaged as part of the standard free and open-source GNOME desktop environment. GNOME Core Applications have a consistent look and feel to the GNOME desktop, utilize the Adwaita design language and tightly integrate with the GNOME desktop. GNOME Core Applications are developed and maintained through GNOME's official GitLab instance.

A comprehensive list of these applications is available at apps.gnome.org

GNOME Circle is a collection of applications which have been built to extend the GNOME platform,[8] utilize GNOME technologies, and follow the GNOME human interface guidelines.[9] They are hosted, developed, and managed in the GNOME official development infrastructure, on gitlab.gnome.org. Developers who are using the GNOME platform can apply for inclusion in GNOME Circle. Benefits include promotional support and eligibility for project contributors to become GNOME Foundation members.[8] Circle applications are not part of GNOME Core Applications.

Some examples of such applications include:

  • Apostrophe - a markdown editor
  • Authenticator - a two-factor authentication code generator
  • Eyedropper - a color picker and formatter utility
  • Fragments - a torrent manager
  • Gaphor - UML and SysML modeling tool
