2024 年刚刚开始，也许你正被需要在不同应用程序中完成的大量工作压得喘不过气来？为什么不使用工作区管理工具来简化工作呢？


App Fleet 是**一款全新的开源工作区管理器和启动自动化工具**，主要为 Linux 开发。我必须说，最后一点是你不常听到的！ ?


这次，我尝试一下 App Fleet，并与大家分享一下我的经验。

### App Fleet：主要功能 ⭐


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160750qzds1k021roz6dse.png)


App Fleet 使用 **Flutter 框架** 编写，**针对 GNOME 桌面环境**，并且作为一个相当新的应用，它的开发进展相当顺利，不时定期发布。


一些**关键功能**包括：


* 支持大多数应用。
* 直观的用户界面。
* 将应用设置到特定工作空间。


#### ⚙️ 如何安装 App Fleet？


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160751xf1f919zw1ffe059.png)


遗憾的是，App Fleet **没有 Flatpak、Snap、AppImage 或其他流行的打包格式**。


据开发人员称，App Fleet 需要系统范围的读取访问权限，并且使用这些格式对其进行打包对于此类应用来说是不可行的。


**安装 App Fleet 最直接的方法**是运行以下命令（网络安装程序脚本）：



```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omegaui/app_fleet/main/network-install.sh | bash

```

对于大多数人来说，上述命令是推荐的解决方案。


如果你愿意，你可以从预编译的捆绑包或源代码中安装它。有关更多信息，你可以访问其 [GitHub 仓库](https://github.com/omegaui/app_fleet)。

#### 初步印象 ?‍?


将其安装到我的 PC 上后，我启动了 App Fleet，然后迎接我的是一个面无表情的幽灵，说这个系统上没有工作区配置。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160751h8iy5xxtrzykkzzx.png)


因此，我单击 “<ruby> 马上创建 <rt>  Create Now </rt></ruby>” 开始，并为工作区配置指定了一个合适的名称。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160751a7ebvy4ewo746uwz.png)


然后我选择了它的图标。它有很多可选图标，也可以自由上传自定义的图标。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160752tbxodgv7kaor2ct0.png)


应用选择屏幕列出了我的所有应用，因此我选择了我在工作时经常使用的应用。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160752jrfqrgl24mkgwzgg.png)


我还可以**为这些应用提供特定的工作区**，这样它们就可以直接在指定的工作区中启动，从而无需手动放置它们。（这对我来说效果不太好，稍后会详细介绍。）


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160752hfql097r4ljm9ktj.png)


我还可以**从系统或外部存储手动添加应用**，并可以指定名称、设置等待时间等。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160753iiqc11wt661ata07.png)


我也可以对添加的应用进行相同的调整。如果你不想被快速连续启动的大量应用淹没，“*等待时间*” 设置可能会很有用。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160753ybhvbfrcwws72x6w.png)


设置完所有内容后，我单击右上角的 “保存” 图标来保存我的工作区配置。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160754a4yk3ykhky6yy3yi.png)


然后，App Fleet 的主屏幕向我显示了创建的工作区配置。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160754umbhz5ddme65hrxe.png)


它还启动了 **App Fleet 启动器** ，这是一个看起来像小部件的东西，让我启动保存的工作区配置。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160755igrttj1yddgyddyd.png)


因此，为了测试它的工作原理，我快速重新启动了系统，当我登录系统时，启动器会自动弹出。正如你在下面看到的，**启动器是一个小巧的东西**，并不碍事。


![](/data/attachment/album/202401/15/160756xvvmeclacwqmz7lz.gif)


但是，你可能已经注意到，**应用没有在我设置它们启动的工作区上启动**。尽管应用的启动和定制的等待时间确实起作用了。


[官方网站](https://omegaui.github.io/app_fleet_webpage/) 提到已在 Ubuntu 22.10 进行了“*精细测试*”，因此这一点值得注意。


当然，该应用是全新的。因此，我们不能期望一切都完美。


但是，如果你问我，**App Fleet 有很大的潜力**，如果你是使用 [Auto Move Windows](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/16/auto-move-windows/) GNOME 扩展的人，这可能是一个非常方便的替代方案。


我是否说过 **App Fleet 不仅仅限于 GNOME？**


你还可以在其他 [桌面环境](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-desktop-environment/) 上使用它，例如 KDE Plasma、Budgie 和 Cinnamon。


? 那么，你对 App Fleet 有何看法？ 有类似的工具吗？ 它对你来说效果如何？ 请在下面的评论中告诉我！

The year 2024 just started, and maybe you are getting overwhelmed with the amount of work you have to get done across different apps? Why not make that simpler, with, say, a workspace management tool?

App Fleet is **a new open-source workspace manager and launch automation tool** primarily developed for Linux; I must say, the last bit is something you don't hear often! 😃

Here, I try App Fleet and share my experience with you.

## App Fleet: Key Features ⭐

![a screenshot of app fleet about info](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_a.png)

Written using the **Flutter framework**, App Fleet has been** tailored for the GNOME desktop environment**, and being a fairly new app, the development of it has been progressing rather well, with regular releases from time to time.

Some **key features** include:

**Support for Most Apps.****Intuitive User Interface.****Set Apps to Specific Workspaces.**

### ⚙️How to Install App Fleet?

![a screenshot of app fleet being installed using the shell](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_b.png)

Unfortunately, App Fleet is **not available as a Flatpak, Snap, AppImage or any other popular packaging format**.

According to the developer, App Fleet requires system-wide read access and packaging it with these formats is not viable for such an app.

The **most straightforward way to install App Fleet** is by running the following command (a network installer script):

`curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omegaui/app_fleet/main/network-install.sh | bash`


For most, the above command is the recommended solution.

If you wish, you can install it from the precompiled bundle or the source. For more info, you can head over to its [GitHub repo](https://github.com/omegaui/app_fleet?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

### Initial Impressions 👨💻

After installing it on my PC, I launched App Fleet and was greeted with a poker-faced ghost saying there were no workspace configurations on this system.

![a screenshot of app fleet without any workspaces set](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_c.png)

So, I clicked on “*Create Now*” to get started, and I gave the workspace config a fitting name.

![a screenshot of app fleet workspace creation screen](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_d.png)

I then picked the icon for it; there were many options with the freedom to upload a custom one too.

![a screenshot of app fleet workspace creation screen icon selection](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_e.png)

The app selection screen listed all my apps, so I selected the ones I usually use while working.

![a screenshot of app fleet workspace app selection screen](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_f.png)

I could also **give those apps specific workspaces** so that they would launch directly in the ones specified, doing away with the need to manually place them. (*That didn't work out so well for me, more on that later.*)

![a screenshot of the app fleet workspace number selection for apps](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_g.png)

There was also the** ability to manually add an app** from the system, or external storage, where I could give it a name, the wait time, and so on.

![a screenshot of app fleet custom app addition](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_i.png)

I could also tweak the same for the apps added. The “*Wait Time*” settings can be useful if you would rather not be overwhelmed by the number of apps launching in quick succession.

![a screenshot of app fleet edit app screen for the added apps](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_j.png)

After all things were set, I clicked on the “*Save*” icon on the top-right to save my workspace config.

![a screenshot of app fleet with all the things set in the workspace creator](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_h.png)

The main screen of App Fleet then showed me the workspace config created.

![a screenshot of app fleet](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_k.png)

It also launched the **App Fleet launcher**, which was a small widget looking thing that let me launch the saved workspace config.

![a screenshot of app fleet launcher](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_l.png)

So, to test out how it worked, I did a quick restart of the system, and the launcher automatically popped up when I logged into my system. As you can see below, **the launcher is a neat little thing** that doesn't really get in the way.

![a video showcasing how app fleet works](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/App_Fleet_m.gif)

However, as you may have noticed,** the apps did not launch on the workspaces I set them to launch in**. Though the launching of apps, and the customized wait times do kick in.

The [official website](https://omegaui.github.io/app_fleet_webpage/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) mentions that this was “*finely tested*” for Ubuntu 22.10, so that would be a thing to keep in mind.

Sure, the app is brand new. So, we cannot expect everything to work perfectly.

But, if you ask me, **App Fleet has a lot of potential**, if you were someone who uses the [Auto Move Windows](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/16/auto-move-windows/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) GNOME extension, this can be a very handy alternative to it.

And did I say that** App Fleet is not just limited to GNOME?**

You can also use it on other [desktop environments](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-desktop-environment/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) such as KDE Plasma, Budgie, and Cinnamon.
