User interface of program is very flexible in customization. For example, there are "multi windows" and "all in one" modes, support of different iconsets and themes.
Ready-to-install deb and RPM packages are available for many Linux distributions. Successful ports of Psi were reported for Haiku,[7] FreeBSD and Sun Solaris operating systems.
Due to Psi's free/open-source nature, several forks have appeared, which occasionally contain features that may appear in future official Psi versions.
