App Fleet is a workspace management tool written entirely for the Linux Desktops, designed and finely tested on GNOME. It offers creation of workspace configurations that can later be launched using a startup workspace launcher.
Modern Linux Desktop Environments provide their users with the ability to have multiple workspaces on the same desktop; this is highly beneficial for users who often switch between the group of apps or group of browser windows with multiple tabs.
But launching these many apps manually on startup is a hideous task, sure we can write a script that can do this, but doing that requires a bit of brainstorm, and also, even on a powerful machine, some apps take some time to specifically show the first window (you cannot have another workspace until there is at least one window in all the current workspaces), and as the requirement increases we have to edit these scripts and maintain them, also, taking a look at the logs if any error occurs, waiting for the app to actually come up before switching the workspace to launch another, ..... phew .. honestly, this is a lot of work to do just to make a single workspace configuration.
But What if there exists a graphical tool to do this? A Tool that can let you create your workspace configurations, also, allows you to give your workspaces cool names and icons. A Tool that can detect installed apps on your system so that you don't have to do a manual entry. A Tool that can even execute specific browser tabs or shell scripts? also, what if, it offers a quick workspace launcher once you log in?
Here comes App Fleet, A brilliant workspace manager & quick launcher specially designed for GNOME.
