<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flatseal</h2>
<p><a href="https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Flatseal</a> is a graphical utility to review and modify permissions from your Flatpak applications. This is one of the most used apps in the flatpak world, it allows you to improve security on flatpak applications. However, it needs to be used with caution because you can make your permissions be too open.</p>
<p>It’s very simple to use: Simply launch Flatseal, select an application, and modify its permissions. Restart the application after making the changes. If anything goes wrong just press the reset button.</p>
<p>You can install “Flatseal” by clicking the install button on the web site or manually using this command:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal</pre>
<p><strong><em>Also available as rpm on fedora’s repositories</em></strong></p>

<ul>
<li>Recording sounds from both your microphone and system at the same time.</li>

<p><a href="https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.nokse22.minitext" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mini Text</a> is a very small and minimalistic text viewer with minimal editing capabilities. It’s meant as a place to edit text to be pasted, it doesn’t have saving capabilities. It uses GTK4 and it’s interface integrates nicely with GNOME.</p>
