UniGetUI for Windows
Install and Update Your Apps Without the Command Line

UniGetUI is a free, open-source desktop app that puts WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop and other Windows package managers behind one window. This independent guide explains what it does, how to set it up, and how to run everyday updates.

What Is UniGetUI?

UniGetUI is a graphical front end for the package managers that already run on Windows. It does not host software itself. When you click Install, it hands the job to WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop or another back end and shows you exactly what that tool reports back.

The practical result is one searchable list of everything installed on the machine, one list of what is out of date, and one button to fix it. The project started as WingetUI and was renamed once it supported far more than WinGet. It is maintained in the open by Martí Climent and contributors — see the everyday workflow guide for what that looks like day to day.

UniGetUI package manager interface on Windows

Key Features

Multi-Manager Support

Enable WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, PowerShell Gallery, .NET tools, Pip or npm and manage them from a single list.

Search Across Every Source

One query hits every enabled manager and shows the package ID, version and source, so you know what you are about to install.

Bulk Install and Update

Tick as many packages as you need and let the queue run. Useful after a clean Windows install or on monthly update day.

Operation Log

Every install, update and removal is recorded with the output from the underlying manager, so failures are easy to read.

Package Bundles

Export a selection to a bundle file and import it on another PC to rebuild the same set of apps in one pass.

Hash Verification

Installers are checked against the hashes published in the source manifest before they run, exactly as the command-line tools do.

Inside the Interface

Four screens cover almost everything you will do in UniGetUI.

Discover Packages

Search by name or ID, filter by source, and read the version and publisher before installing anything.

Installed Packages

See what each manager owns on this machine and uninstall single apps or a whole selection.

Software Updates

A single list of everything outdated across sources, with select-all and skip-this-version controls.

Settings

Choose which managers are active, set update checks, pick an install scope and add custom sources.

How People Use UniGetUI

Three situations where a package manager front end saves the most time.

Setting up a new PC: queue a browser, an editor, a compression tool and a dozen utilities, start the run, and come back to a finished machine.
Fresh Windows setup
Common workflow
Monthly maintenance: open the Software Updates tab, look at what is outdated across WinGet, Chocolatey and Scoop, and update the lot in one pass.
Keeping apps current
Common workflow
Repeat builds: export the package selection to a bundle file, then import it on the next machine so every device ends up with the same software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to what people ask most about UniGetUI.

UniGetUI is a free, open-source Windows app that gives package managers a graphical front end. It searches, installs, updates and removes software through WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop and other back ends without you typing commands.

It was started by Martí Climent and released as WingetUI. The name changed to UniGetUI once support reached well beyond WinGet. Development happens in public on GitHub with community contributions.

Mostly to stop chasing updates app by app. One screen lists everything outdated across your managers, and you update whatever you select in a single run.

Yes. It costs nothing, the license is open source, and the full source code is published in the project repository.

No. Searching, installing and updating are point-and-click. Command-line familiarity only helps if you want custom install flags or private sources.

WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, PowerShell Gallery and .NET tools, plus developer sources such as Pip and npm. You decide which ones are active.

Yes. The Software Updates tab collects outdated packages from every enabled manager, and you can update selected items, all items, or ignore a specific version.

Yes. The Installed Packages tab removes anything installed through a supported manager, one item at a time or as a selection.

Yes. Add as many packages as you like to the queue; they install one after another while you get on with something else.

Yes. A single search box queries every enabled manager and shows the package ID, version and source for each result.

Current releases target Windows 10 and Windows 11, Home and Pro alike. Older Windows versions are not supported by the modern package managers it drives.

Browsing and searching do not. Installs that write to system locations raise the normal UAC prompt, just as running the installer by hand would.

WinGet is already present on current Windows 10 and 11. If Chocolatey or Scoop is missing, UniGetUI can install the manager for you from its settings.

Releases are published for 64-bit systems, x64 and ARM64, which is what the supported package sources target.

It sits idle most of the time and only works while a package manager is running a job. Background update checks are light and can be turned off.

The source is public and the app installs nothing by itself — it passes your choice to WinGet, Chocolatey or Scoop and shows their output. Download it from the official repository rather than a mirror.

No. Packages come from the repositories the underlying managers already use, and installer hashes published in those manifests are verified before the installer runs.

No. It manages installation and updates only. Keep your security software running as usual.

Yes. New releases appear on GitHub on a steady schedule, and the app can notify you and update itself.

The job stays in the list with the manager's log attached. Read the error, retry, or install the same app from another source — Chocolatey instead of WinGet, for example.

Many of them, yes. WinGet includes an msstore source, so Store listings can be installed without opening the Store app.

Yes. Sources can be added or removed per manager, including private and company WinGet repositories.

It is. Bundles and bulk operations make repeat builds quick, and every action runs through managers that are usually already approved on managed machines.

Yes. Save a selection as a package bundle and import that file on another PC to reinstall the same software.

A downloaded installer handles one app once. UniGetUI treats your software as a list you can search, update, export and rebuild in a few clicks.
