WingetUI or UniGetUI, Your Universal Interface for Windows Command-line Tools
What is WingetUI?
WingetUI, which is soon to be rebranded as UniGetUI, is an innovative project that is committed to developing an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for a range of widely utilised command-line interface (CLI) package managers, specifically designed for both Windows 10 and the newly launched Windows 11. These package managers include, but are not limited to, Winget, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, Npm, .NET Tool, and the PowerShell Gallery.
The primary objective of this application is to provide users with a seamless and user-friendly platform that allows them to effortlessly download, install, update, and uninstall software that is published on any of the supported package managers, thereby enhancing efficiency and streamlining the overall process.
However, despite its close ties and integrations, it is crucial to clearly state that this project operates independently and is not officially affiliated or connected to any of the supported package managers. Furthermore, the developer of WingetUI, soon to be UniGetUI, is not liable or responsible for any applications or software downloaded using this tool. This tool serves as a convenient bridge between users and their desired software, aiming to enhance their overall user experience.
