Examples of prominent applications in the bundle include the file manager Dolphin, document viewer Okular, text editor Kate, archiving tool Ark and terminal emulator Konsole.

There are many standalone applications like Krita or Amarok that are mostly designed to be portable between operating systems and deployable independent of a particular workspace or desktop environment.

KDE SDK[5][6] is a collection of two dozen distinct integrated (both within the SDK but also with other KDE applications, e.g. many work with Dolphin, the default file manager) applications and components that work with/are part of KDevelop,[7] and is suitable for general purpose software development in a range of languages.

Various other packages are being built for testing on Android, although plans for some of the core parts of the SDK (e.g. Kate) have not been announced.
