Simple, friendly apps that solve real problems.
Free apps with no adverts, no tracking and no fuss. Made to be easy to use, whatever your age.
For Android
Lighthouse Launcher
A home screen for Android with large clear icons, a padlock that stops accidental changes and an optional Emergency button. Ideal for older people, great for children too.
Glimpse Launcher
A fast, tidy home screen for people who like to make their phone their own: a 2×4 or 4×4 grid or a calm text mode, notes a swipe away, hold actions, themes and a PIN padlock.
For Ubuntu and GNOME
Five apps built for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and newer; four of them share one look, menus and Help. Free and open source, from one software source.
Glimpse Media Viewer
A fast, simple viewer and organiser for photos, videos and music, made to fit right into GNOME.
Glimpse File Manager
A column-view file manager for GNOME, like macOS Finder: click a folder and its contents open in the next column.
Glimpse Music
A music player for GNOME: your own music, Jellyfin and Plex servers, and internet radio.
Glimpse Commands
A free, offline reference that answers “how do I do X in the Ubuntu terminal?” with a ready-to-use command and what each part means.
Glimpse Network Scanner
Finds everything on your home or office network, and tells you what each device is, without passwords.
Install any of them with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:turone/glimpse, then sudo apt install and the app's name. Each app's page has the details.
Glimpse Media apps are free, with no adverts. If one has helped you, you can say thanks:
