These applications are designed to handle ordinary everyday tasks, such as file management, media playback, and system utilities, while adhering to the for simplicity, consistency, and intuitive use. They are typically pre-installed on distributions that use GNOME as the default desktop, providing a coherent and integrated across the platform. The core applications are collaboratively developed by the GNOME community, including maintainers, designers, and contributors, under the oversight of the GNOME Release Team to ensure high quality and minimal overlap in functionality. Key examples include Files () for file management, Videos () for media playback, Eye of GNOME for image viewing, , , Clocks, and Software for app management. This suite emphasizes , mobile support where applicable, and tight integration with the GNOME Shell, making it suitable for a wide range of users from beginners to advanced. As part of 's commitment to principles, all core applications are licensed under open-source terms, allowing modification and redistribution, and are hosted on the official GNOME GitLab instance for collaborative development. Updates to the core set occur with major releases, occasionally adding or replacing apps to better align with evolving user needs and technological advancements, such as improved support for remote desktop features or enhanced performance in recent versions like GNOME 48. The applications extend beyond basic utilities to include tools like Disks for storage management, Contacts, and Maps, fostering a complete computing ecosystem.

Overview

Definition and Scope

The Core Applications comprise a curated set of approximately 25-30 free and open-source applications bundled with the to support essential everyday computing tasks, including file management, , system monitoring, and . These applications are developed using the toolkit and the libadwaita library, which enable a unified, modern, and responsive that emphasizes consistency and accessibility across devices. The scope of these core applications focuses on providing a foundational suite pre-installed on major distributions utilizing as the default desktop, such as Workstation 43 released in October 2025. They prioritize principles of simplicity, accessibility, and tight integration with —the graphical shell handling window management, notifications, and application launching—while deliberately excluding third-party or optional software to foster a streamlined and cohesive . Inclusion in the core set follows defined criteria established by the project: applications must be actively maintained by the GNOME team or approved partners, conform to the (HIG) for ergonomic and inclusive design, and undergo testing for both desktop and mobile environments to support GNOME's adaptive capabilities. These apps evolve through annual updates synchronized with major GNOME releases; for example, GNOME 47, released in September 2024, incorporated adaptive UI enhancements in select core applications to better accommodate diverse hardware form factors. In GNOME 48, released in March 2025, the core applications total 28, encompassing tools for configuration (e.g., Settings), productivity (e.g., Text Editor), media handling (e.g., Decibels for audio playback), and system management (e.g., Logs for diagnostics).

History and Evolution

The GNOME Core Applications trace their origins to the inception of the GNOME project in 1997, when developers aimed to create a free desktop environment with a suite of user-friendly tools as an alternative to proprietary systems like CDE. Early applications, such as the gedit text editor, were included in the initial GNOME 1.0 release in March 1999, prioritizing simplicity and accessibility over complex features to appeal to a broad user base. The file manager Nautilus, first released in 2001, solidified this approach and became integral to the desktop suite with GNOME 2.0 in June 2002, marking the formal establishment of what would evolve into the core applications set focused on essential desktop functionality. A pivotal shift occurred with GNOME 3.0 in April 2011, which integrated the core applications more seamlessly with the new interface, enabling better workflow cohesion and introducing redesigns for enhanced across utilities like the and media players. This era emphasized extensibility and visual consistency, with subsequent releases like GNOME 3.22 in 2016 refining these integrations. The adoption of libadwaita in GNOME 40 (March 2021) further advanced responsive design principles, allowing core apps to adapt fluidly to different screen sizes and orientations while maintaining a unified aesthetic based on GTK4. From 2024 onward, the evolution accelerated toward modernization and minimalism, with 46 (March 2024) initiating broader redesigns of legacy applications to leverage contemporary technologies like for improved performance and security. Notable replacements included the transition from the feature-heavy video player of the 2000s to the streamlined Showtime in 49 (September 2025), reflecting a trend away from bloated interfaces toward focused, efficient tools. Similarly, gcalctool was deprecated around 2014 and supplanted by the redesigned Calculator, which offered a cleaner interface without sacrificing core computational capabilities. Post-2024 updates introduced apps like , a lightweight debuting as a core app in 45 (2023) and refined through 2025 for metadata handling, and Decibels, added to core in 48 (March 2025) as a simple audio player complementing Music. 47 (September 2024) and 48 (March 2025) emphasized performance optimizations and steps toward mobile convergence in app behaviors, while 49 (September 2025) continued this with the introduction of Showtime as the default video player. Community-driven development via , adopted fully by since 2018, has fueled these changes through collaborative merge requests and incubation processes.
