SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
See all your installed packages in one place.
README
GlazePKG (gpk)
See every package on your system — one gorgeous terminal dashboard.
A beautiful TUI that unifies 35 package managers into a single searchable, snapshotable, diffable view.
Built with Bubble Tea. Zero config. One binary. Just run gpk.
Why?
You have brew, pip, cargo, npm, apt, maybe flatpak — all installing software independently. Knowing what's actually on your machine means running 6+ commands across different CLIs with different flags and output formats.
GlazePKG fixes this. One command, one view, every package. Track what changed over time with snapshots and diffs. Export everything to JSON for backup or migration.
Features
- 35 package managers — brew, pacman, AUR, apt, dnf, snap, pip, pipx, cargo, go, npm, pnpm, bun, flatpak, MacPorts, pkgsrc, opam, gem, pkg, composer, mas, apk, nix, conda/mamba, luarocks, XBPS, Portage, Guix, winget, Chocolatey, Scoop, NuGet, PowerShell modules, Maven, Windows Update
- Instant startup — scans once, caches for 10 days, opens in milliseconds on repeat launches
- Fuzzy search — find any package across all managers instantly with
/ - Package operations — upgrade, remove, search, and install packages without leaving the TUI
- Multi-select — batch upgrade or remove with smart sudo batching
- Snapshots & diffs — save system state, diff to see what changed
- Update detection —
↑indicator for packages with available updates - Export — dump to JSON or text for backup, migration, or dotfile tracking
- Zero dependencies — single static Go binary, cross-platform
Install
Homebrew (macOS / Linux)
brew install neur0map/tap/gpk
Arch Linux (AUR)
yay -S gpk-bin
Go
go install github.com/neur0map/glazepkg/cmd/gpk@latest
Pre-built binaries
Grab a binary from releases for macOS (ARM/Intel), Linux (x64/ARM), or Windows (x64/ARM).
Build from source
git clone https://github.com/neur0map/glazepkg.git
cd glazepkg && go build ./cmd/gpk
If gpk is not found after installing via go install, add Go's bin directory to your PATH:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"
Quick Start
gpk Launch TUI
gpk update Self-update to latest release
gpk version Show current version
gpk --help Show keybind reference
Just run gpk — navigate with j/k, switch managers with Tab, search with /, press s to snapshot, d to diff, e to export. Press ? for the full keybind reference.

Package Operations
Upgrade (u in detail view)
Open a package with Enter, then press u. A confirmation modal shows the exact command. Privileged managers (apt, pacman, dnf, snap, apk, xbps) include a password field for sudo. The upgrade runs in the background while you keep using the TUI.
Remove (x in detail view)
Open a package with Enter, then press x. Managers that support it (apt, pacman, dnf, xbps) offer two modes: remove package only, or remove package with orphaned dependencies. If the package is required by other packages, a warning is shown before proceeding.
Search + Install (i)
Press i from the package list to open the search view. Type a query and results stream in from all installed managers in parallel. Results are deduplicated by name — expand a row to see all available sources and versions. Press i on a result to install it. Already-installed packages are marked.
Multi-Select (m)
Press m to enter selection mode. Use Space to toggle packages, navigate and search normally — selections persist across tabs and searches. Press u to upgrade all selected or x to remove all selected. The confirmation modal groups operations by privilege level so you only enter your password once.
All operations work on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Each manager maps to its correct native command automatically.

- Managers that aren't installed are silently skipped — no errors, no config needed.
- Descriptions are fetched in the background and cached for 24 hours.
- Packages with available updates show a
↑indicator next to their version (checked every 7 days). - Press
din the detail view to see full dependency tree for any package. - Press
hin the detail view to see the package's--helpoutput. - Press
ein the detail view to add custom descriptions — these persist across sessions and won't be overwritten.
Snapshots & Diffs
GlazePKG can track how your system changes over time:
- Snapshot (
s) — saves every package name, version, and source to a timestamped JSON file - Diff (
d) — compares your current packages against the last snapshot, showing:- Added packages (new installs)
- Removed packages (uninstalls)
- Upgraded packages (version changes)
Use this to audit what changed after a brew upgrade, track drift across machines, or catch unexpected installs.
Data Storage
All data lives under ~/.local/share/glazepkg/ (respects XDG_DATA_HOME):
| Data | Path | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Scan cache | cache/scan.json | 10 days (auto-refresh) |
| Description cache | cache/descriptions.json | 24 hours |
| Update cache | cache/updates.json | 7 days |
| User notes | notes.json | Permanent |
| Snapshots | snapshots/*.json | Permanent |
| Exports | exports/*.json or *.txt | Permanent |
