About the aliases category

This category is for handling requests for aliases. The process is documented in Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks.

To make the review of your request easier, please use the following template to provide all the required details and also include any other information that may be relevant.


  • name: name of the snap
  • description: description of the snap
  • snapcraft: URL pointing to the snapcraft.yaml if publicly available
  • aliases:
    • alias1: corresponding_app1
    • alias2: corresponding_app2
    • reasoning: why these alias names are needed

To the best of my knowledge, there is no existing snap alias already granted or a well-known Linux application conflicting with the aliases requested here.
