  Description     : a graphical utility to review and modify flatpak permissions

---

As more software is distributed direct from developer to user via
flatpak, it would be great if the user could be kept in control of
permissions. I found this gui via stack overflow and it seems to be a
very intuitive way for a user to manage flatpak overrides without needed
to learn the CLI.

It's great for restricting broad filesystems=host/home for more legacy
apps unaware of portals, or for opening up applications to use with
custom user directories. It would make sense to maintain a version
compatible with the version of flatpak found in debian.
