About

KiCad is a free and open-source electronics design automation (EDA) suite. It features schematic capture, integrated circuit simulation, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, 3D rendering, and plotting/data export to numerous formats. KiCad also includes a high-quality component library featuring thousands of symbols, footprints, and 3D models. KiCad has minimal system requirements and runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Required configuration

Recommends: a screen with its shortest side at least 1920 px, at least 2048 MiB of memory. Supports: offline use only.

Flatpak sandbox: Wide access
Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.
What it can access
Reads and changes your whole home folder
Reads and changes files in /media
Reads and changes files in /run/media
Uses the internet
Uses the older X11 display system, which doesn't isolate windows from each other
