**Related issue:** N/A — part of the Windows Fleet-maintained apps catalog expansion (letter F batch; follows #48872, #48881, #48950, #48969, #49086, #49186). Adds eight new Windows Fleet-maintained apps: | App | winget package | Installer | Notes | |-----|----------------|-----------|-------| | Foxit PDF Editor | `Foxit.PhantomPDF` | WiX bootstrapper EXE, machine, x64 | Covers both "Foxit PDF Editor" and "…Pro" from the inventory (one package). Runs an updater service → process-stopping uninstall. ARP key lives in the WOW6432Node hive. | | Foxit PDF Reader | `Foxit.FoxitReader` | WiX bootstrapper EXE, machine, x64 | Distinct DisplayName from the Editor (verified via msiinfo). Updater service → process-stopping uninstall. | | FreeCAD | `FreeCAD.FreeCAD` | NSIS (MultiUser), machine, x64 | `/AllUsers /S`; versioned ARP name ("FreeCAD 1.1.1") → `FreeCAD%` fuzzy. | | FastPictureViewer Professional | `AxelRietschin.FastPictureViewer.Professional` | MSI, machine, x64 | Versioned ARP name → fuzzy. Unversioned URL → `ignore_hash`. Declares VCRedist deps (near-ubiquitous; noted). | | FastStone Capture | `FastStone.Capture` | NSIS, machine, x86 | `/S`; versioned ARP name → fuzzy. Paid trialware, but silent install/detect/uninstall are clean. | | FastStone Image Viewer | `FastStone.Viewer` | NSIS, machine, x86 | `/S`; versioned ARP name → fuzzy. | | FlexWhere for Desktop | `Dutchview.Flexwhere` | MSI, machine, x64 | Auto-start tray app → process-stopping uninstall (stop process, then msiexec /x via UpgradeCode). | | Fortify | `PeculiarVentures.Fortify` | WiX MSI, machine, x64 (en-US) | Smart-card/cert bridge; auto-start tray → process-stopping uninstall. Per-arch+locale ProductCode, so `installer_locale: en-US`. | Considered but **not** added (recorded in the workstream tracker): - **FactSet Workstation** (`FactSet.FactSetWorkstation`): MSI defaults to per-user (ALLUSERS=2 + MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1) with no machine-scope override, AND a `SpawnFDSWorkstation` custom action launches the app at install (headless-hang risk in a SYSTEM session). Niche licensed terminal. - **Filius** (`StefanFreischlad.Filius`): winget manifest is de-DE only (no en-US locale); the ingester hard-codes the en-US locale fetch (same limitation that deferred Araxis Merge). - **FlashFXP** (`OpenSight.FlashFXP`): abandoned (frozen at 2017), the vendor site returns HTTP 500, only a 16×16 icon is available, and its InstallAware uninstall needs a fragile cached-setup `/s` injection. - **Front** (`FrontApp.Front`): per-user-only electron-builder installer (`Front-user-*.exe` → `%LocalAppData%`, HKCU); no machine/all-users artifact in winget. - **Autodesk Fusion** (`Autodesk.Fusion`): the winget "installer" is `Fusion Client Downloader.exe`, a per-user streaming/web bootstrapper that downloads at runtime, hangs headless, and needs interactive Autodesk sign-in. Identities verified per app (msiinfo Property tables; NSIS header decompilation; winget AppsAndFeaturesEntries; uninstall-database corroboration). Apps that run a service or auto-start tray (both Foxit products, FlexWhere, Fortify) get process-stopping uninstalls up front to avoid the MSI-rollback failure class. SHAs verified against manifests for pinned URLs; `ignore_hash` only for FastPictureViewer's actively-maintained latest-pointer URL. Icons via `tools/software/icons/generate-icons.sh` (all ≥256px except FastPictureViewer/Fortify at 256/180). # Checklist for submitter - [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters. - [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops ## Testing - [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually (relying on the FMA CI validator for Windows install/uninstall validation)

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.
What's it for?
Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.
Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.
Get started
You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.
Is it any good?
Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.
Supported platforms
- Linux (all distros)
- macOS
- Windows
- Chromebooks
- iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud (GCP)
- Azure (Microsoft cloud)
- Data centers
- Containers (kube, etc)
- Linux-based IoT devices
Infrastructure as code
Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.
Linux support
First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.
Visibility and compliance
Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.
Open by design
Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.
Good neighbors
Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.
Lighter than air
Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.
Free as in free
The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.
Longevity
The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.
Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and our commitment to improving the product.
Chat
The Fleet community is full of kind and helpful people. Whether or not you are a paying customer, if you need help, just reach out.
Contributing 
Contributions are welcome, whether you answer questions on Slack / GitHub / LinkedIn, improve the documentation or website, write a tutorial, give a talk at a conference or local meetup, give an interview on a podcast, troubleshoot reported issues, or submit a patch. The Fleet code of conduct is on GitHub.
License
The free version of Fleet is available under the MIT license. The commercial license is also designed to allow contributions to paid features for users whose employment agreements allow them to contribute to open source projects. (See LICENSE.md for details.)
