According to the recently published Flathub’s 2025 Year in Review, the platform closed 2025 with its strongest year to date, recording more than 435 million total downloads during the year.

This represents a clear step up (+21%) from 360.4 million downloads in 2024, continuing a multi-year growth trend. For context, total annual downloads stood at 322.7 million in 2023, 148.6 million in 2022, 51.3 million in 2021, and just 27.3 million in 2020. Or in simple words, in five years, Flathub’s yearly download volume has increased by more than fifteen times.

The application catalog also continued to expand. By the end of 2025, Flathub hosted well over 2,800 apps, up from 2,803 total apps reported in 2024. This growth follows earlier jumps from 2,300 apps in 2023, 1,768 in 2022, 1,243 in 2021, and 914 in 2020.

Sorry that was probably just mostly me distro-hopping.
