A computer system and method for providing location-based application access is provided. For example, the computer system includes a processor configured to receive a connection request for access to a distributed workspace, the connection request including location information for a client device. The processor can access metadata for each of a plurality of location-based applications, the metadata including location information for each of the applications defining at least one physical location where each of the applications can be accessed. The processor can compare the location information against the metadata for each of the applications and determine one or more applications that match the location information for the client device. The processor then can organize each of the applications that have associated location information that matches the location information into a listing of available applications and transmit the listing of available applications for display to a user of the client device.
