Sumario:This works aim to analyze the exercise of digital citizenship in Brazil through the civic applications made available between 2012 and 2018. The methodology is exploratory and descriptive research, based on documentary research and content analysis. The data acquisition took place between June 2017 and December 2018 and used four main sources of information. Twentyseven civic applications were identified and by consulting digital documents (on websites, blogs, news and social networks), nine categories or units of analysis were raised. The applications were categorized and a data analysis was performed using graphics to understand the exercise of digital citizenship in the country through the available applications. It concludes that the exercise of digital citizenship in Brazil presents a scenario on the one hand condensed in some values of categories, such as the authors and themes of civic applications, on the other hand dispersed as in the civic tools that enable digital citizenship in the country.
