About Flatseal
Flatseal lists the Flatpak applications installed on a Linux system and shows the permissions each one has been granted, such as access to files, devices and the network. You select an application, change its permissions with switches and text fields, and restart the application for the changes to take effect.
If a change breaks something, a reset button returns the application to its default permissions. It suits Linux desktop users who install software through Flatpak and want to tighten or loosen sandboxing without editing overrides on the command line.
Strengths
- Shows all Flatpak permissions in one graphical window
- Reset button restores defaults per application
- No need to write flatpak override commands by hand
Limitations
- Only manages Flatpak applications
- Applications must be restarted before changes apply
