What it is
UniGetUI is a graphical interface for command-line package managers, mainly on Windows 10 and 11. It lets you search, install, update and uninstall software from several package managers such as WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, pip and npm from one window. Builds for macOS and Linux are also listed in the README.
- Search for software across WinGet, Scoop and Chocolatey from one interface
- Update installed packages from several package managers in one pass
- Install and uninstall software without typing separate commands for each manager
Great for
- Windows users who already use WinGet, Scoop or Chocolatey and want one place to manage them
- People who find command-line package managers unfamiliar but still want their software kept up to date
- Anyone managing software across several package managers on one machine
Not ideal for
- People who prefer working entirely in the terminal, since the README centers on a graphical interface
- Users who need guaranteed vetting of every package, because the README notes packages come from third parties and should be reviewed before installation
- Anyone on a very old Linux distribution, because the Linux binaries require glibc 2.27 or newer

Get the most out of it
- Use the portable .zip if you want settings and caches kept next to the executable (see docs/PORTABLE.md)
- Read the CLI reference (docs/CLI.md) if you want command-line control
- Review the IPC reference (docs/IPC.md) if you plan to integrate UniGetUI with other tools
- Enable the package managers you already use so they appear in one place
Downloads
Strengths
- Brings several package managers into one graphical interface
- Free, open source and MIT-licensed, with the project now maintained by Devolutions
- Offers installers, portable zip and Microsoft Store options on Windows
Trade-offs
- The README says it is Windows-first, so macOS and Linux support is secondary
- It depends on the underlying package managers being installed and working
- Packages come from third parties, so users must check sources and publishers themselves
