Ubuntu-native applications with GNOME and libadwaita styling, published as snaps, debs, and Flatpaks with automatic updates.
Ubuntu is the Linux desktop most organisations actually deploy, in development teams, universities, labs, and increasingly on staff workstations. It has its own conventions: GNOME with Ubuntu’s Yaru theming and dock, snap as the default packaging format, and LTS releases that businesses stay on for years.
We build applications that fit those conventions rather than fight them. That means GTK 4 and libadwaita for a native look, snap or deb packaging with confinement configured correctly, automatic updates through snapd, and testing against the LTS releases your fleet is actually running.
From a single-purpose internal tool to a snap published for the whole Ubuntu ecosystem.
GTK 4 and libadwaita apps that look and behave like they shipped with the system, on Wayland by default.
Snapcraft builds with the right confinement and interfaces, published to the Snap Store with staged release channels.
Traditional .deb packages and a signed apt repository, for teams whose policy rules out sandboxed formats.
Cross-platform apps tuned for Ubuntu: correct desktop entries, notifications, tray behaviour, and file associations.
Deploying and managing your application across an Ubuntu fleet, with the controls IT teams need to sign off.
Locked-down Ubuntu Core and kiosk applications for devices that have to run unattended and update themselves safely.
The GNOME desktop stack Ubuntu ships, plus the packaging tools that get your app into users’ hands.
GNOME on Wayland, styled the way Ubuntu users expect.
Whatever fits the app: native GTK, Qt, Electron, or the JVM.
Snap, deb, Flatpak, and AppImage, published to the channels you need.
Local-first data, automatic updates, and crash reports from the field.

The details that make an app feel like it belongs on the Ubuntu desktop.
Interfaces that follow Ubuntu’s accent colour and light or dark preference instead of hardcoding their own.
Strict confinement with only the interfaces your app needs, so security reviews go smoothly.
Delta updates delivered by snapd in the background, with channels for staged rollouts and quick rollback.
Built for Ubuntu’s default Wayland session, with portals for screen capture, files, and global shortcuts.
Progress badges, quick actions, and status indicators that appear where Ubuntu users look for them.
Compatibility maintained across the LTS releases your organisation stays on, not just the newest one.
Public store, private channel, or your own repository, whichever suits your users.
Public snap listing with automatic updates and beta channels for early testers.
A private snap store for internal tools, restricted to devices your organisation controls.
A signed apt repository so machines install and update your .deb through normal system updates.
A Flatpak build alongside the snap, for users and distributions that prefer it.
Aligned with Ubuntu’s release cadence and the way its users install software.
We confirm which Ubuntu LTS and interim releases you need to support, which desktop session your users run, and whether snap, deb, or both is the right format.
Designs built to the GNOME human interface guidelines and Ubuntu’s Yaru styling, covering light and dark themes and keyboard-first workflows.
Iterative delivery with builds published to a beta channel from early in the project, so your team installs the real app the same way users eventually will.
Snapcraft and Debian packaging built in CI, with confinement tightened to the interfaces the app genuinely needs and nothing more.
Automated and manual testing across the LTS releases in scope, on Wayland and X11, with HiDPI and multi-monitor passes.
Store submission or repository setup, staged rollout through release channels, and ongoing compatibility work as new Ubuntu versions ship.
What clients ask us most before starting an Ubuntu desktop project.
A snap is the better default: it updates automatically, is sandboxed, and installs the same way on every supported Ubuntu release. A deb still matters for organisations whose policy blocks snaps, or where the app needs system-level access that confinement makes awkward. Shipping both from one CI pipeline is not much extra work, and we often recommend it.
Most clients target the current and previous LTS releases, since that is what organisations actually run. We agree the support matrix during discovery and test against it in CI, so a new Ubuntu release never becomes a surprise.
Yes. A private snap brand store or your own signed apt repository keeps the application restricted to devices your organisation controls, while still giving you automatic updates and staged rollouts.
Both, depending on what the product needs. If Ubuntu is your primary platform, a native GTK 4 and libadwaita app is lighter, faster, and looks like it belongs there. If you also need Windows and macOS builds, Electron or Tauri packaged as a snap is usually the better commercial decision, and we tune it so it still behaves properly on Ubuntu.
In most cases, yes. Snaps and Flatpaks run across nearly every current distribution, so an Ubuntu-first build usually covers Fedora, Debian, and the rest with little extra work. If broad distribution support matters from the start, our Linux desktop service covers the full multi-distro test and packaging matrix.
Ubuntu first, and the rest of the desktop matrix when you need it.
