A native GTK4/libadwaita desktop application for browsing, installing, and managing GNOME Shell Extensions. It integrates with extensions.gnome.org to search, install, remove, enable, disable, and update extensions directly from the app.

Use cases

  • browse and install GNOME Shell extensions without a web browser
  • manage installed GNOME extensions from a native app
  • update GNOME Shell extensions in-app
  • search extensions.gnome.org with screenshots and user comments
  • enable or disable GNOME extensions quickly
  • customize the GNOME desktop with extensions

When to choose

  • you use GNOME desktop and want a native, adwaita-styled extension manager
  • you want to avoid using the extensions.gnome.org website and browser extension
  • you want in-app extension updates on GNOME 43+

When to avoid

  • you don't run GNOME Shell (e.g., KDE, XFCE, Windows, macOS)
  • you prefer managing extensions via command line or gnome-extensions CLI
  • you need to develop extensions rather than install them
