Sitra
What it is
Sitra is a free Linux application for finding and managing fonts listed on Google Fonts. It provides controls to preview, install, and uninstall fonts, with filters by category and search by family or subset. Font previews use the Fontsource CDN, which the project describes as supporting privacy. When you install a font, Sitra downloads it from Google to the device in TTF format. The application also supplies code for using a selected font in another project through the Fontsource CDN or npm. Sitra is distributed on Flathub as a Linux app, with aarch64 and x86_64 architectures listed. The repository identifies the software under the GPL-3.0 license, and Flathub names Ronnie Nissan as its maker. Version 0.1.3 notes include Turkish translations, an installed-font badge, and sorting that places installed fonts first. The Free plan is listed as free and is described as an open-source desktop font application.
