# Welcome to snapd



This is the code repository for **snapd**, the background service that manages

and maintains installed snaps.



Snaps are app packages for desktop, cloud and IoT that update automatically,

are easy to install, secure, cross-platform and dependency-free. They're being

used on millions of Linux systems every day.



Alongside its various service and management functions, snapd:

- provides the _snap_ command that's used to install and remove snaps and

  interact with the wider snap ecosystem

- implements the confinement policies that isolate snaps from the base system

  and from each other

- governs the interfaces that allow snaps to access specific system resources

  outside of their confinement



For general details, including

[installation](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd) and [Getting

started](https://snapcraft.io/docs/getting-started) guides, head over to our

[Snap documentation](https://snapcraft.io/docs). If you're looking for

something to install, such as [Spotify](https://snapcraft.io/spotify) or

[Visual Studio Code](https://snapcraft.io/code), take a look at the [Snap

Store](https://snapcraft.io/store). And if you want to build your own snaps,

start with our [Creating a snap](https://snapcraft.io/docs/creating-a-snap)

documentation.
