App Stores/Listings:

Fields

name: name of the app
category: App category (one or two words)
summary: one or two sentences about the app - normally a quote from the project site
mobile compatibility: a number between 5 (best) and 0 (worst) to name the mobile compatibility of the app (this is different from MGLApps to be closer to the ratings in Mobian Wiki; category 3 may be redefined, as it includes apps that apparently have not been tested on mobile GNU/Linux or postmarketOS)
- 5 = perfect - nothing left to be done
- 4 = almost perfect, works fine with tweaks for scaling, like `scale-to-fit´ on Phosh
- 3 = some parts of the app are not usable with touch input on small screens
- 2 = many parts of the app are not usable with touch input on small screens
- 1 = app is unusable with touch input on small screens – why is this app in the LINMOBapps app list?
- A = mobile compatibility could be perfect because the app was ported to other mobile platforms (e.g. Android)
repository: link to the code repository
framework: UI frameworks which are used by the app
screenshots: links to sites providing screenshots of the application
website: link to the project‘s website
license: license of the project
appid: AppStream ID in the form {tld}.{vendor}.{product} (e.g. org.kde.itinerary)
appstream link: AppStream link for automated install with software like Discover or GNOME Software (experimental)
scale-to-fit: AppID to scale the app properly in Phosh (with scale-to-fit AppID on). To find out these IDs, put the following lines somewhere, e.g. into a file called ~/.local/bin/get-app-id.sh:
#!/bin/bash WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 $1 |& grep 'xdg_toplevel@[0-9]\+\.set_app_id'

flatpak: link to the Flathub page (if available) or another location the app could be installed from as flatpak. For help with installing Flatpaks see linmob.net
aur: name of the corresponding package build in the Arch User Repository. For help with the AUR see linmob.net
postmarketos: name of the corresponding package in the postmarketOS/Alpine repositories (definitely incomplete, contributions welcome!)
debian: name of the corresponding debian package (definitely incomplete, contributions welcome!)
notice: additional information about develpment stage, mobile compatibility or what else is important to know
more information: links to sites providing more information about the app
backend: backends which are used by the app
service: services the app includes and makes use of
description: more detailed text about the app - normally a quote from the project site
description source: if 'description' is a quote, this provides the source

If you have additions or corrections, you can also send these in via email or join us on Matrix at #linuxphoneapps:matrix.org. For small fixes or to just inform about an app, you may also @ me on the fediverse — @linmob@fosstodon.org. Please adjust the subject and try to provide as much information as you can, and also whether/how you want to be mentioned in the commit.

If you want to contact Moxvallix, the games list maintainer, you can contact him on matrix at moxvallix:matrix.org, or send him an email at moxvallix@gmail.com.

If you want to know what I am working on and want to help with it, check CONTRIBUTING.md!

If an app lacks features, or no apps exists for a particular service you need or want to use on your mobile Linux device, maybe Purism's Fund Your App program can help you. (This is no endorsement, the developer story and the availability of the App Store these apps are likely being shipped with for non-Purism devices remains unclear currently.)
