# Add-ons

{% hint style="info" %}
Add-ons are only available to admin users in [Portainer Business Edition](https://www.portainer.io/business-upsell?from=addons) and require a local Kubernetes environment. For a full list of add-on requirements, [check out this FAQ](/faqs/getting-started/add-on-requirements.md).
{% endhint %}

Portainer Add-ons are applications that extend Portainer. From this view, you can install and manage any available add-on applications. Add-ons are deployed as Helm releases into your local Kubernetes cluster and appear as separate tools in the sidebar switcher.

### Add-ons catalog

The catalog lists every add-on available and is updated dynamically from the [catalog URL](/admin/settings/general.md#add-on-settings), so new and updated add-ons appear without updating Portainer. Each card shows the add-on's name, description, installed version, and current status, along with the actions available for that state.

These are the current add-ons listed in the default add-on catalog:
