About Gimmie

Gimmie is a unique desktop organizer for Linux. It's designed to allow easy interaction with all the applications, contacts, documents and other things you use every day. Gimmie can be run either as a stand-alone application or added as a GNOME Panel applet.

More Than Apps

A lot of thought has been put into Gimmie to avoid some pitfalls that exist in other desktop navigation systems. Gone is the application-centric view that's common Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX. Most people only run a handful of applications regularly, so why make them the central topic of your computer screen?
Instead, Gimmie uses an innovative tabs-based approach to categorize everything on your computer. Not just the applications you have installed. You can quickly find friends, documents, computers on the network, notes, music, and just about everything else in a few clicks.
