About UniGetUI
An independent resource dedicated to the open-source package manager GUI that changed how Windows users install software.
What is UniGetUI?
UniGetUI is a free, open-source graphical interface that brings together seven different Windows package managers under one roof. Instead of juggling WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, Npm, .NET Tool, and PowerShell Gallery through separate command-line windows, UniGetUI gives you a single, clean GUI where you can search for software, install it with one click, and keep everything updated automatically.
Think of it as the app store Windows never had — except it pulls from multiple trusted repositories instead of just one. If you have ever wished Windows had something like apt-get or Homebrew but with a proper interface, UniGetUI is exactly that.
How It Started
UniGetUI began life as WingetUI, a side project by Spanish developer Marti Climent. The idea was straightforward: Microsoft had just released WinGet (Windows Package Manager) in 2020, but it was command-line only. Most Windows users were not going to open a terminal just to install VLC. Marti built a graphical front-end so anyone could use WinGet without touching the command line.
WingetUI first appears on GitHub as a simple WinGet GUI wrapper. Early adopters on Reddit notice it and start spreading the word.
Scoop support is added, making WingetUI the first tool to unify multiple package managers in a single GUI. The project gains traction quickly.
Chocolatey, Pip, and Npm integrations arrive. Bulk operations and cloud backup features ship. The GitHub repo passes 10,000 stars.
The project is renamed from WingetUI to UniGetUI to reflect its multi-manager scope. .NET Tool and PowerShell Gallery support are added. Stars pass 21,000.
UniGetUI v3.3.7 releases with Windows Widget integration and improved queue management. The app is available on the Microsoft Store.
What You Can Do With It
Discover Software
Search across WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, and more from a single search bar. Browse package metadata, publisher info, and version history before installing.
One-Click Installs
No more copying and pasting terminal commands. Find what you need, click install, and it handles the rest — including custom parameters when you need them.
Automatic Updates
UniGetUI checks for updates across all your installed packages and lets you update them individually or in bulk. Skip specific versions you want to avoid.
Cloud Backup
Export your complete package list to GitHub and restore it on a new machine. Handy for setting up a fresh Windows install with all your tools in minutes.
UniGetUI also integrates with the Windows 11 system tray, showing update badges so you always know when new versions are available. For developers, the Pip, Npm, and .NET Tool support means you can manage Python packages, Node modules, and .NET tools alongside your regular Windows apps.
Who Built It
UniGetUI is the work of Marti Climent (@marticliment on GitHub), a developer from Spain. Marti maintains the project as open-source under the MIT license, which means anyone can use, modify, and contribute to it freely.
The project is built with C# and .NET, and follows the Windows 11 Fluent Design language for its interface. What started as a small utility has grown into one of the most popular Windows tools on GitHub, with a community of contributors helping to add package manager integrations, fix bugs, and translate the interface.
Marti has been responsive to community feedback throughout the project’s development, regularly incorporating feature requests from Reddit and GitHub discussions into new releases.
Why People Use It
Windows has always lagged behind Linux and macOS when it comes to package management. Linux users have had apt, pacman, and dnf for years. Mac users got Homebrew. Windows users had to visit individual websites, download installers, and click through setup wizards — for every single app.
UniGetUI fixes that gap. On Reddit (r/Windows, r/software), it regularly comes up as one of the first things people recommend installing on a new PC. Users appreciate that it:
- Eliminates the need to visit dozens of download sites
- Keeps software updated without manual checking
- Lets you set up a new computer with all your tools in one batch
- Works with whichever package manager already has the software you need
With over 21,000 GitHub stars and availability on the Microsoft Store, UniGetUI has moved well past “niche tool” status. It is the kind of utility that, once you try it, you wonder how you managed without it.
