A new tool, UniGetUI, integrates multiple package managers like Winget and Chocolatey into a single interface, enhancing user experience. It supports various package managers, including Scoop, PowerShell Gallery, Npm, and Pip, catering to diverse user needs. UniGetUI features a built-in backup tool for creating application bundles and offers an intuitive interface that provides an overview of installed packages. It includes a section for app updates, aggregating information from all enabled package managers, and notifies users of pending updates upon startup. UniGetUI is an evolution of WingetUI, designed to simplify app management processes.
