GNOME 3 Core Apps

Introduction

GNOME core apps are a special class of application that provide important functionality to the GNOME experience. They are:

• Designed by the GNOME designers as a coherent suite
• Part of the core GNOME experience
• Designed to work cooperatively with each other
• Tightly integrated with the core OS
• Generically named
• Exclusive to the GNOME experience (no external identity, don't appear in any app store or other OS)
• Totally amazing
