applications

open source! many of the applications require Max which includes a free runtime.

contact help@monome.org to have your application listed. we suggest github for hosting your project.

archives

collected is a large unsorted repository of applications contributed over the years. we’ve also collected numerous old monomeserial applications which are basically obsolete, but could be updated easily given some small ambition.
