Software Catalog

Generated list of every package shipped in Caracal Software Installer's catalog. Columns describe each app's licensing, install mechanism, and supported plugin targets.

Column key

  • Open Source — upstream project ships under a recognized open-source license.
  • Free Version — at least one no-cost build is available (may be a demo or feature-limited).
  • Install Mode — Direct means the software can be downloaded and installed directly by the catalog. Assisted means you are redirected to an official site to download the software, then can right click on the downloaded file to install via Caracal's helper scripts.
  • Formats — plugin targets installed (CLAP / VST2 / VST3 / LV2). Empty for standalone-only apps.
  • License — SPDX-style identifier when known.
  • Version — pinned upstream version, when the index pins one.
