======
We present the next set of great GNOME Apps that brings a multitude of productivity boost while using your favourite GNOME desktop.
We are progressing with the best GNOME Apps discovery series with this article. The purpose of the series is to create awareness and highlight several unknown GNOME Apps. This gives a boost to the developers and overall development. Also helps the end-user – like you and me – with their daily work on the GNOME desktop.
This is part 3 of the 5 part series. In case you have arrived here from other references, you can read the previous posts here:
* [Part 1][1]
* [Part 2][2]
* [Part 4][3]
* [Part 5][4]
In this article, we covered the following list of great GNOME Apps.
* Sysprof – System Profiler
* Pika Backup – Backup Software
* Contrast – Color Combination Checker
* Decoder – QR Code Scanner and Generator
* Mahjongg – The Classic Game
* Authenticator – 2FA Authentication

### Great GNOME Apps – Part 3
#### Sysprof – System Profiler
The first app we highlight is called sysprof. This is a mostly developer-specific application that gives you system performance details for Linux Kernel and other user-space applications. With this application, you can identify the threads, stacks, their individual performances, object types and a good deal of other information. Armed with this information, a developer can easily debug and find out the problems in their respective application.
This is a GNOME Circle app and is well maintained.
![Sysprof - A great GNOME Apps][5]
This application does not come with Flatpak executable module. So, you have to compile and build using Kernel Headers for your system. You can find the detailed steps outlined in the below links.

#### Pika Backup – Backup Software
When you lose data, then only you remember about Backup software. This is a true fact. Worry not. Pika Backup takes care of all the hassles of taking backups with its simple UI. It is powered by the popular borg-backup software and comes with all necessary features such as –
a) Ability to take backups in a local or remote locationb) Feature of only backing up the changed files/directories, saving time and bandwidthc) Encryption supportd) recovery from backupe) Browsing the already created backups.
However, scheduling backups is under development, and we hope it soon arrives.
This is a GNOME Circle app and one of the must-have GNOME App for your desktop.

It is one of the safest authentication methods used by all popular service providers such as Google, GitHub, etc. Mostly, there are apps available for 2FA in all mobile Platforms. However, you can also set this up as a native desktop app on your GNOME desktop.
The Authenticator app generates 2FA codes and supports Time-based/Counter-based/Steam methods. You can easily set up the methods using its built-in QR code scanner or via uploading an image.

#### Telegrand – Telegram Client
The final app in this list is Telegrand. This application is not stable at the moment and is under development. However, I feel it is worth mentioning here because of its potential. The Telegram messaging app has its own native desktop application. However, this GTK based Telegrand act perfectly for your desktop with its features.
There is no installer available at the moment. But you can easily build it from the source via instructions present in [GitHub][50].
We hope to see this app become stable in near future and available in GNOME Desktop as well as in GNU/Linux Phones.
### Closing Notes
