UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI)

The main goal of this project is to create an intuitive GUI for the most common CLI package managers for Windows 10 and 11, such as WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, Npm, .NET Tool, PowerShell Gallery and more (Check out the package manager compatibility table)!. With this app, you can easily download, install, update, and uninstall any software published on the supported package managers — and much more!

Check out the Supported Package Managers Table for more details!

Disclaimer: This project has no connection with any supported package managers — it's completely unofficial. Be aware that I, the developer of UniGetUI, am NOT responsible for the downloaded software. Proceed with caution

Caution

The OFFICIAL website for UniGetUI is https://www.marticliment.com/unigetui/
Any other website should be considered unofficial, despite what they may say. Especially, wingetui.com is NOT an official site for UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI)

Update UniGetUI

UniGetUI has a built-in autoupdater. However, it can also be updated like any other package within UniGetUI (since UniGetUI is available through Winget and Scoop).

Features

• Install, update, and remove software from your system easily at one click: UniGetUI combines the packages from the most used package managers for windows: Winget, Chocolatey, Scoop, Pip, Npm and .NET Tool.
• Discover new packages and filter them to easily find the package you want.
• View detailed metadata about any package before installing it. Get the direct download URL or the name of the publisher, as well as the size of the download.
• Easily bulk-install, update, or uninstall multiple packages at once selecting multiple packages before performing an operation
• Automatically update packages, or be notified when updates become available. Skip versions or completely ignore updates on a per-package basis.
• Manage your available updates at the touch of a button from the Widgets pane or from Dev Home pane with Widgets for UniGetUI*.
• The system tray icon will also show the available updates and installed packages, to efficiently update a program or remove a package from your system.
• Easily customize how and where packages are installed. Select different installation options and switches for each package. Install an older version or force to install a 32 bit architecture. [But don't worry, those options will be saved for future updates for this package*]
• Share packages with your friends to show them off that program you found. Here is an example: Hey @friend, Check out this program!
• Export custom lists of packages to then import them to another machine and install those packages with previously specified, custom installation parameters. Setting up machines or configuring a specific software setup has never been easier.
• Backup your packages to a local file to easily recover your setup in a matter of seconds when migrating to a new machine*

Supported Package Managers

UniGetUI wouldn't have been possible without the help of our dear contributors. From the person who fixed a typo to the person who improved half of the code, UniGetUI wouldn't be possible without them! 😄

Frequently asked questions

Q: I am unable to install or upgrade a specific Winget package! What should I do?

A: This is likely an issue with Winget rather than UniGetUI.

Please check if it's possible to install/upgrade the package through PowerShell or the Command Prompt by using the commands winget upgrade or winget install, depending on the situation (for example: winget upgrade --id Microsoft.PowerToys).

If this doesn't work, consider asking for help at Winget's project page.

Q: The name of a package is trimmed with ellipsis — how do I see its full name/id?

A: This is a known limitation of Winget.

For more details, see this issue: microsoft/winget-cli#2603.

Q: My antivirus is telling me that UniGetUI is a virus! / My browser is blocking the download of UniGetUI!

A: A common reason apps (i.e., executables) get blocked and/or detected as a virus — even when there's nothing malicious about them, like in the case of UniGetUI — is because a relatively large amount of people are not using them.

Combine that with the fact that you might be downloading something recently released, and blocking unknown apps is in many cases a good precaution to take to prevent actual malware.

Since UniGetUI is open source and safe to use, whitelist the app in the settings of your antivirus/browser.

Q: Are Winget/Scoop packages safe?

A: UniGetUI, Microsoft, and Scoop aren't responsible for the packages available for download, which are provided by third parties and can theoretically be compromised.

Microsoft has implemented a few checks for the software available on Winget to mitigate the risks of downloading malware. Even so, it's recommended that you only download software from trusted publishers.
