Sitra

What Sitra is

Sitra is a Linux desktop app for finding and managing fonts from Google Fonts. Its catalog can be searched by family or subset and filtered by category. You can preview a font, install it, or uninstall it through the app. Sitra downloads selected fonts from Google to your device in TTF format.

Font previews use the Fontsource CDN, which the project describes as being for privacy. For using a font in a project, Sitra provides code for Fontsource CDN or npm. The app is available on Flathub for aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. The project repository identifies its license as GPL-3.0, and Flathub lists Ronnie Nissan as its maker. Flathub’s version 0.1.3 notes describe Turkish translations, a badge for installed fonts, and sorting that places installed fonts first. Sitra’s Free plan costs nothing and is described as an open-source desktop font application. TTF is its supported font format.

Who it suits

Sitra suits Linux users who want to browse Google Fonts, preview options, and install or remove fonts on their device. It may also help developers who want font-use code for Fontsource CDN or npm.

Getting started

1. Open the Sitra project website on GitHub.
2. Install Sitra from Flathub on aarch64 or x86_64 Linux.
3. Search by family or subset, or filter by category.
4. Preview a font and install it to your device.

Verdict

Choose Sitra if you use Linux and want a free app for browsing and managing Google Fonts, with project-use code also available. Look elsewhere if you need another platform or a font format beyond TTF.
