Flatseal is a graphical utility for reviewing and modifying permissions of Flatpak applications on Linux. It lets users select an installed app, toggle its sandbox permissions, and reset changes if something breaks.
Use cases
- manage flatpak app permissions
- review sandbox permissions of installed apps
- revoke filesystem or device access from a flatpak app
- reset flatpak permission overrides
- audit which flatpak apps have network access
When to choose
- you use Flatpak apps on Linux and want a GUI to control their sandbox permissions
- an app misbehaves after a permission change and you need a quick reset
- you want to tighten app access to files, devices, or network without CLI commands
When to avoid
- you don't use Flatpak (e.g., you use Snap, AppImage, or native packages)
- you need headless or scripted permission management (use flatpak override CLI instead)
- you need permission management for non-Linux platforms
