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 all your files
  • Can run programs outside its sandbox
  • Can access all devices, including cameras and USB
  • Uses the internet
  • Plays and records audio
