KDE has a massive collection of app, and I combed through them to find some of the lesser-known hidden gems that people may not be aware of. Here is a list of my favorites.
- Kirogi: A ground control software. It only supports a few drones right now, but should get MAVLink support in the future.
- KStars: An astronomy software that lets you view the positions of planets and stars, as well as a whole lot of other features related to astronomy.
- Licentia: A license comparison app. It lets you view and compare free software licenses. It has the full license text as well as a simplified list of features of it.
- KDE Itinerary: An app for travel planning. Well designed, with detailed station views courtesy of Openstreetmap.
- KTrip: Similar to Itinerary, a public transport navigation app
- Alpaka: An Ollama client for running LLMs

KStars
I’ll add that KStars has a really powerful astrophotography suite called Ekos. It has lots of helpful automation features to make imaging relatively simple to setup.
Thank you! That’s something I would check out.
KDE Itineray is probably one of the best trip planning packages out there, open or proprietary. That team puts a lot of work into pulling in data from things like OCRing tickets to get the flight data out of it, then correlating it with online sources. Great job done.
https://kstars.kde.org/ is interesting.
I actually didn’t know about these apps. very nice
Thanks for sharing, I’ve not come across these before.
KStars is particularly intriguing, but I also like the Itineray apps.
Oooh nice!
