Top 23 Gtk3 Open-Source Projects

  • xournalpp

    Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.

    • Project mention: Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-11

    I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.

    Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

  • peek

    Simple animated GIF screen recorder with an easy to use interface

    • Project mention: The open source peek screen recorder is being deprecated | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-18

  • eww

    ElKowars wacky widgets

    • Project mention: Widgets: which are the alternatives? | /r/awesomewm | 2023-11-23

    I'm trying to get the most out of my OS (Arch with X11 and Awesomewm), but I'm stuck with the widgets. I would like to create/use some utilities like an interactive calendar, small TODO list, dropdown menu, etc. but using the awesomewm widgets is too difficult and limiting. I found eww but it seems as difficult as the former widgets.

  • tilix

    A tiling terminal emulator for Linux using GTK+ 3

  • AutoKey

    AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.

    • Project mention: Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-21

    I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey

  • pdfarranger

    Small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.

    • Project mention: Pdftool.org: modify pdfs offline in the browser | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-13

    On Linux I like to use:

    https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger and https://gitlab.com/scarpetta/pdfmixtool for such tasks.

  • linux-wifi-hotspot

    Feature-rich wifi hotspot creator for Linux which provides both GUI and command-line interface. It is also able to create a hotspot using the same wifi card which is connected to an AP already ( Similar to Windows 10).

    • Project mention: is there an easier way to access Gen 4 Pokémon GTS? | /r/3dspiracy | 2023-05-20

    Wi-Fi hotspot: https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot

  • GameHub

    All your games in one place

    • Project mention: Looking for an alternative game library manager similar to GOG Galaxy | /r/linux_gaming | 2023-05-19

    I like https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub. However, it has some caveats.

  • CPU-X

    CPU-X is a Free software that gathers information on CPU, motherboard and more

    • Project mention: Is Cpu Z safe? | /r/pcmasterrace | 2023-12-07

    Linux has CPU-X which you can just get from releases built from the source right there for everyone to see. It might be worth asking if the dev would be interested in making a Windows version+release ever.

  • zathura

    Document viewer

  • sc-controller

    User-mode driver and GTK3 based GUI for Steam Controller

    • Project mention: Getting Xbox Elite Wireless Controller to Work? | /r/SolusProject | 2023-07-11

    https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller has been my best friend in getting controllers working properly

  • nicotine-plus

    Graphical client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network

    • Project mention: Soulseek itself taking a long time to download from website? | /r/Soulseek | 2023-10-02

    You better download and use Nicotine+, it's a frequently updated client for the soulseek platform.

  • ags

    A customizable and extensible shell

    • Project mention: Hyprland Crash Course | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23

    Lots of what the article talks about pertains to the difference between a 'full DE' and 'just a WM'. Gnome and KDE fall in the first category. They have a notification system, lockscreens, app launcher, etc by default. Hyprland doesn't. It puts windows on your screen and allows you to control their layout, everything beyond that, you can add yourself.

    This article mentions dunst for notifications, Rofi for app launchers, Waybar for a status bar, swaylock for screen locking, ... I've been having a great time using just AGS [0]. AGS, at its core, is a framework to write all of those tools. It is based on the same technology that Gnome Shell uses, i.e. GJS. You can build up all of the widgets you want and need using Gtk and replace all of the tools I mentioned before. But be warned: AGS only provides you with the libraries you need, you'll still need to build the UI yourself. Unless you copy someone else's configuration of course ;)

  • adw-gtk3

    • Project mention: Title bar | /r/gnome | 2023-12-07

  • syncthing-gtk

  • Gradience

    Change the look of Adwaita, with ease

    • Project mention: The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-29

    If your main problem with Adwaita are the colors, you can easily customize them, and there are even great GUI tools for this[1]

    My issue with Breeze aren't the default colors, but rather the theme itself
