Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 84 of the 94 other desktop utilities we grade
UniGetUI, formerly WingetUI, is a free, open-source graphical front end for command-line package managers. On Windows 10 and 11 it brings WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, npm, pip and others into one window for finding, installing, updating and removing software, and builds for macOS and Linux are also published. It was created by Martí Climent and has been maintained by Devolutions since it acquired the project in March 2026.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about UniGetUI, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Some antivirus software may flag the installer, and the Mac and Linux builds load a different set of managers.
- 1
Best for updating all your Windows software from one window
It's only the front end: packages come from third-party managers, so checking who published what is on you.
- 2
It is free
UniGetUI has no paid plan at all. The whole app is free and open source under the MIT license, for individual and organizational use. No paid plan is listed.
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Windows, macOS and Linux.
- 4
One window for many package managers
Windows builds load WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, PowerShell, npm, Bun, pip, Cargo, .NET Tool and vcpkg, so software can be installed, updated and removed without the command line.
- 5
Package discovery and details
Search and filter packages across the supported managers and check a package's metadata before installing it, including the publisher, download size and direct download URL.
- 6
Bulk operations and per-package options
Select several packages to install, update or uninstall in one batch. Custom install switches, an older version or a forced architecture can be saved for each package.
- 7
A 3.0 GPA, above 84 of 94
That is against the other desktop utilities we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
UniGetUI is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

The report card
Best for updating all your Windows software from one window
UniGetUI, once called WingetUI, is a free, open-source window onto WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, npm, pip and more, where you click to install, update and remove software. It's only the front end: packages come from third-party managers, so checking who published what is on you. Some antivirus software may flag the installer, and the Mac and Linux builds load a different set of managers.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free and open source under the MIT license, downloaded and run, for individuals and organizations alike. There's no paid plan listed anywhere and nothing to upgrade to. |
| Free plan and trial | A | The whole app, free, from the Microsoft Store, a direct installer, a portable zip or through WinGet, Scoop or Chocolatey itself. Nothing kept back for a paid tier. |
| Features | C | It finds, installs, updates and removes software across WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, npm, pip and more, with batch jobs, scheduled updates and exported package lists. It does that job fully, but it is a front end only: the packages come from other people's managers, and the Mac and Linux builds load a different set. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: install from the Microsoft Store and click instead of typing winget commands. One bump, the vendor says some antivirus software may flag the installer because it bundles several managers. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Computers only, so one kind of device whatever the count of systems: Windows 10 and 11 first, with macOS and Linux builds on GitHub Releases. There's a command line and a local automation API for scripts, but no phone app and nothing in a browser. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who UniGetUI is for
- Fits if you want WinGet, Scoop and Chocolatey on Windows without typing commands
- Works for setting up a new PC, since you can export your package list and import it there
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want someone to vet the software for you, as the packages come from third-party managers
- Not for you if you're mainly on a Mac or Linux, because it's built for Windows first and those builds load different managers
- Not for you if your antivirus is strict and you can't make exceptions, since some may flag the installer
- Watch out: wingetui.com and unigetui.com are unofficial sites, and the official page is on devolutions.net
- Skip it if you want it on a phone or in a browser, as it's a computer program only
Good to know
Good for
- Windows users who want WinGet, Scoop and Chocolatey without the command line
- Keeping every installed package up to date from one list
- Moving a software setup to a new machine from an exported package list
Worth knowing
- It is a front end only: packages come from third-party managers, and the vendor advises reviewing sources and publishers before installing.
- Built for Windows 10 and 11 first. The macOS and Linux builds come from GitHub Releases and load a different set of package managers.
- The vendor says some antivirus software may flag the installer because it bundles several package managers.
- The README warns that wingetui.com and unigetui.com are unofficial third-party sites; the official page is on devolutions.net.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
84/94
Other desktop utilities it is graded above
UniGetUI's GPA of 3.0 is higher than 84 of the 94 other desktop utilities we grade, and level with 8.
It stands best on free plan and trial (A, above 49 of 94) and worst on features (C, above 1).
UniGetUI has no paid plan.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 95 desktop utilities we grade, cut by the letter each got. UniGetUI’s own letter is outlined.

Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 55 desktop utilities. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. UniGetUI is the marked dot.
What paid plans start at, a month (each step along is roughly double) →
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
UniGetUI is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 84 of the 94 other desktop utilities we grade.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. UniGetUI’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
