Before adding a new entry to the Free Software Directory, please make sure that entry does not already exist by first using the Search box.

To add a new entry, please enter the name of the program below.

The text you use here will be the end of the URL for that project page, so make sure that the text is typeable ASCII (A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and spaces), has no awkward symbols, ideally no accents, and uses the spacing and capitalization that the project uses. The idea is that people should be able to type it easily, regardless of language. Also, the shorter name is best, when multiple are available.
