- Do one thing and do it well
- Have a free and open source license

Please ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines:

- Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
- Make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
- Additions should be added to the bottom of the relevant category.
- Use the following format: `[package](link) - Description.`
- New categories, or improvements to the existing categorization are welcome.
- Keep descriptions short and simple, but descriptive.
- Start the description with a capital and end with a full stop/period.
- Check your spelling and grammar.
- Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
- The pull request should have a useful title like `Add app-xyz` and include a link to the app and why it should be included.
- The apps repository is older than 90 days.
