**Apps** is a catalog that hosts tools and games developed by the Flipper Zero community. These apps expand the functionality of your Flipper Zero even further and make your interaction with the device even more enjoyable.

This page will provide an overview of the Apps Catalog. You’ll also learn how to install and manage apps on your Flipper Zero.

You can access Apps from [Flipper Mobile App](https://docs.flipper.net/zero/mobile-app) and [Flipper Lab](https://lab.flipper.net) (supported by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers with Web Serial API support).
