The main goal of this project is to create an intuitive GUI for the most common CLI package managers for Windows 10 and Windows 11, such as [Winget](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/), [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/), [Pip](https://pypi.org/), [Npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [.NET Tool](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-tool-install) and [PowerShell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/).
With this app, you'll be able to easily download, install, update and uninstall any software that's published on the supported package managers — and much more!

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