Apps are a popular concept allowing end-users to easily extend their devices such as smartphones or computers with specific functionality. We believe that the App-concept is not only well applicable to single devices but also to complete environments. In this work we introduce Smart Space Apps as a concept for interweaving networked smart things of an environment through pluggable Apps written in JavaScript. By introducing a unified schema that access IoT platforms, smart home appliances and smart devices such as phones and tablets in the same way we go further than current platforms. We have implemented this concept and demonstrate its utility with three example Apps.
