# Awesome Plan9



A curated list of awesome Plan9 (and sometimes 9p) libraries and software.



> Generally when referring to "Plan9" this document really means 9front.



9p.io links are accessible over 9p as well. On 9front you can run `9fs 9pio` as a shortcut.



Many of the applications listed here are available under the 9front [ports tree](https://code.9front.org/hg/ports).
