## Permissions
- `--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak`: This permission is required in order to open apps and refresh the system menu when a new app is installed; if the user disables this permission manually (eg. with Flatseal), Gear lever should countinue to work normally, except you would not be able to open apps directly.

## ... And AppImageHub / AppImage Store?
At the moment there are no plans to integrate any type of Hub/Store/Repository into Gear Lever.
Why? Because the existing ones have a very poor selection of apps, and most of these apps are just unofficial ports
