Pi-Apps is a free, open-source graphical app store for Raspberry Pi computers, written in shell scripts. It simplifies installing and uninstalling popular open-source applications that are otherwise difficult to set up on ARM Linux.

Use cases

  • install apps on raspberry pi easily
  • uninstall software on raspbian
  • find open source apps for arm64 linux
  • graphical package manager for raspberry pi os
  • install apps not available in apt repositories
  • manage software on raspberry pi 4 or 5

When to choose

  • you run Raspberry Pi OS or another ARM Linux distro and want one-click app installs
  • you need software that is missing from the official apt repositories
  • you want a simple GUI to install and uninstall apps on a Pi

When to avoid

  • you are on x86 Linux or a non-ARM platform
  • you only need packages already available via apt and prefer standard package management
  • you need a headless server without a GUI
