Matrix App Gallery

Apps is where you open the personal web apps installed on your Matrix computer. Matrix App Gallery is the name for planned curated discovery: examples, details, and a way to start from a reviewed Matrix app.

Start With Apps Today

1. Open Apps in your Matrix workspace to find installed apps.
2. Open Chat and describe a tracker, planner, dashboard, or another tool you need.
3. Review the result in Web Canvas, Web Desktop, or Electron Desktop. Ask for changes, add a record, and check that it is still there after reopening the app.

See the Apps guide for examples and data support. The Native Mobile guide explains the current preview limitations on iPhone and Android.

What The Gallery Is For

The first planned gallery focuses on curated, first-party Matrix apps. Each listing should explain what the app does, show real screenshots, describe its data and connection needs, and identify the devices on which it has been checked.

Discovery should lead to an app you can review and keep in your own workspace. Availability, installation, and save-and-reopen behavior must be confirmed for the release before they are advertised as ready.

Private Apps And Public Listings

• Private owner-built apps: apps Matrix creates for you stay in your workspace. Creating an app does not publish it.
• First-party curated apps: Matrix examples are the focus of the planned gallery.
• Public listings: planned showcase listings require explicit owner consent before an app's name, description, screenshots, demo, or attribution is shared. Public submission and withdrawal are still planned.
• Free community apps: public executable distribution needs additional review, permissions, and runtime protections. It is outside the initial curated release.
• Paid creator apps: purchases, creator payments, and revenue sharing are later scope. There is no paid creator marketplace available today.

A public listing would describe an app; it would not grant access to the owner's app data or connected accounts. Connecting a service and permitting an app to use it are separate decisions.

Sharing And Publishing Status

The current release does not offer public publishing, anonymous app demos, ratings, community installation, or one-click skills distribution as an end-to-end gallery experience. Older store API routes or an agent preparing a publishing payload do not establish that these user flows work end to end.

Keep private data out of screenshots and demos you choose to share. Review the content and the recipient before sharing anything outside your workspace.

For current skill installation instructions, use Matrix Skills.

The Name

Matrix App Gallery describes discovery inside Matrix OS. Apps are web experiences on your Matrix computer; the gallery does not install arbitrary native iPhone, Android, or desktop applications. Apple App Store availability for the Native Mobile client is a separate release step.
