## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, package-manager, developer-tools
- domain: self-hosted, developer-tools, operating-systems
- platform: iot
- tags: app-store, raspberry-pi, shell-scripts, software-installation, uninstaller, arm64, linux, arm
