Extensions

Anyone can develop their own extensions for Freelens.

If there is an extension that you used with Open Lens and have already requested to be converted for Freelens to the original authors, please let us know.

In case the original authors do not adapt the original extension, but the license allows it, you can fork it yourself, adapting it to Freelens or ask us to create an ad hoc repository under the Freelens organization.

If an extension is deemed essential by the Freelens community, you can request to integrate its functionality into the Freelens application.
