Phosh 0.51.0 is now available, bringing a set of functional improvements to this GNOME-based mobile shell used across many Linux phones.

Developed by Purism and adopted in projects such as postmarketOS, Mobian, and Fedora Mobility, Phosh provides the core touch interface, quick settings, notifications, lock screen, app launcher, and system integration for mobile Linux platforms.

The update introduces a new location quick setting, providing users with a straightforward toggle to enable or disable location services. Caffeine mode—used to prevent the device from suspending—now supports selectable durations, which can be configured directly through mobile settings.
