Editorial analysis
A single interface for many package managers
UniGetUI is a Windows-first, intuitive GUI for the most common CLI package managers on Windows 10 and 11. Cross-platform builds are also available for macOS and Linux. The README lists support for WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Homebrew, APT, DNF, Pacman, Flatpak, Snap, pip, npm, Bun, .NET Tool, PowerShell Gallery, and more.
With UniGetUI you can discover, install, update, and uninstall software from multiple package managers through one interface. The README adds a disclaimer that UniGetUI is not affiliated with the package managers it integrates, and that packages come from third parties, so you should review sources and publishers before installing. The tool is built with .NET and Avalonia and presents each manager's packages in a consistent layout, aggregating managers that already exist rather than replacing them.
From WingetUI to Devolutions stewardship
UniGetUI was created by Martí Climent and is now maintained by Devolutions. The README marks this as a major announcement: UniGetUI entered its next chapter with Devolutions. The project remains free, open source, and MIT-licensed.
The README explains that Devolutions' stewardship brings long-term investment, structured governance, stronger security processes, and a roadmap for broader enterprise readiness, while keeping UniGetUI standalone and community-driven. The announcement and an official press release from March 2026 describe the acquisition in more detail. The README also warns users about fake websites, naming wingetui.com and unigetui.com as third-party impostors and pointing to devolutions.net/unigetui as the official site.
Installing UniGetUI on Windows
On Windows, the Microsoft Store is the recommended install method, but direct installer and package-manager options also exist. The .zip download is portable and keeps settings and caches next to the executable rather than in your user profile. For architecture-specific builds, the README provides x64 and arm64 installers and portable zips.
You can also install through package managers that UniGetUI itself manages. The WinGet command from the README is:
winget install --exact --id Devolutions.UniGetUI --source wingetScoop uses scoop bucket add extras then scoop install extras/unigetui, and Chocolatey uses choco install unigetui.
macOS, Linux, and NativeAOT builds
macOS builds come from GitHub Releases as a .dmg for the standard installer or a .tar.gz portable bundle, with Apple silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64) variants. Linux builds offer a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu based systems, a .rpm for Fedora and RHEL based systems, or a .tar.gz portable archive.
Linux binaries require glibc 2.27 or newer. Release packages are compiled with NativeAOT on Windows, macOS, and Linux for faster startup and a smaller attack surface. The repository ships helper publish profiles and a script so you can build the same self-contained NativeAOT configuration locally.
Features for daily package management
The README's table of contents lists a Features section, a CLI reference (docs/CLI.md), an IPC reference (docs/IPC.md) and portable-mode notes (docs/PORTABLE.md). The opening states that you can discover, install, update, and uninstall software from multiple package managers through one interface.
How UniGetUI loads package managers
The README's opening names WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Homebrew, APT, DNF, Pacman, Flatpak, Snap, pip, npm, Bun, .NET Tool and PowerShell Gallery among the supported managers, and points to a Package Managers section for details.
The README's disclaimer says packages are provided by third parties, so review sources and publishers before installation.
Editorial conclusion
UniGetUI puts a single, intuitive interface in front of the CLI package managers you already use on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It was created by Martí Climent and is now maintained by Devolutions under the MIT license, with the standalone tool kept free and open source. You can install it from the Microsoft Store, a direct installer, or through WinGet, Scoop, and Chocolatey. With broad package manager coverage, it suits anyone who manages software across several package managers on one machine.
