__AppImageKit__ is a concrete implementation of the AppImage format and provides tools such as `appimagetool` and `appimaged` for conveniently handling AppImages. | ||
|
||
`appimagetool` converts an AppDir into a self-mounting filesystem image. `appimaged` is a daemon that handles registering and unregistering AppImages with the system (e.g., menu entries, icons, MIME types, binary delta updates, and such). | ||
__AppImageKit__ is a concrete implementation of the AppImage format, especially the tiny runtime that becomes part of each AppImage. | ||

||
Providing an [AppImage](http://appimage.org/) for distributing application has, among others, these advantages: | ||
- Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others) | ||
