+xdg-app installs, manages and runs sandboxed desktop application bundles.
+Application bundles run partially isolated from the wider system, using
+containerization techniques such as namespaces to prevent direct access
+to system resources. Resources from outside the sandbox can be accessed
+via "portal" services, which are responsible for access control; for
+example, the Documents portal displays an "Open" dialog outside the
+sandbox, then allows the application to access only the selected file.
+
+Each application uses a specified "runtime", which is available
+as /usr inside its sandbox. This can be used to run application bundles
+with multiple, potentially incompatible sets of dependencies within the
+same desktop environment.
