GNUstep Applications
One of the reasons why GNUstep got started was the longing for the ease of programming and the ease of use which we feel is not available under other operating systems. However to take GNUstep out of the realm of programmers and make it more accessible to average users; there is a definite need to provide more standard applications.
GNUstep Applications List
This list is just getting started. If you are a developer, feel free to add your app to this list. You can also look at the list below.
Official GNUstep Applications
For questions and/or comments related to user applications please feel free to contact us on the GNUstep Discussion List.
discuss-gnustep@gnu.org
Some applications can be downloaded from the gnustep ftp site (and mirrors) To upload a file, store the file at ftp://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/incoming and send an email to gnustep-maintainers@gnu.org!
GNUstep also has a decent set of example applications available.
The GNUstep Workspace
GWorkspace is the official GNUstep workspace manager. It is a clone of NeXT's workspace manager and already ready for daily usage.
GWorkspace is probably one of the most useful and usable workspace managers available on any platform, owing to its well-designed interface and the natural, consistent design that it inherits from the GNUstep framework.
Please see its homepage or the GWorkspace User Guide for more information.
GNUstep Mail Application
GNUMail is the official GNUstep mail application. It is a clone of NeXT's Mail.app.
The current version of GNUMail.app is already quite stable and rich in functionalities and will work well for a day-to-day MUA use. Check out the homepage of the project for a complete feature overview.
The official homepage is located here
Design Gallery
Please also visit our Design Gallery where you can get the first impression of the icons which will be used in the final applications. Also look at the GNUstep Icons project.
