Rscoop - A Modern, Powerful GUI for Scoop
Welcome to Rscoop, (rust-scoop) the ultimate graphical user interface for the Scoop package manager on Windows. Rscoop isn't just a pretty face; it's a powerhouse of functionality designed to be a complete replacement for the command line. Its intuitive, modern UI is incredibly easy to grasp, making package management a breeze for both new and experienced users.
🚀 Installation
- Go to the Releases page.
- Download the latest
.msiinstaller file or portable.exefile. - Run the installer. That's it!
✨ Features
Rscoop is more than just a package list. It's a full-fledged, native management toolkit that supercharges your Scoop experience.
🚀 Blazing-Fast Native Performance
At its core, Rscoop leverages a custom-built Rust backend to handle the heavy lifting. We've re-engineered critical logic to be native to Rscoop, delivering incredible speed and responsiveness.
- Instant Search: Find the exact package you need in milliseconds. Our native search implementation scans all your buckets instantly.
- Package & Update Discovery: Listing installed packages and checking for available updates is faster than ever.
⚙️ Advanced System & Package Control
Rscoop provides a level of control that goes far beyond the standard command line. Manage every aspect of your Scoop installation and packages through an intuitive UI.
- Shim Manager: A complete interface to manage your Scoop shims. View, remove, and even
altershims without touching the command line. - Hold Packages: Prevent specific packages from being updated with a single click, giving you full control over your versions.
- Cache Manager: Get a detailed view of all cached installer files, see how much space they're using, and selectively remove them.
- Package Details: Instantly view detailed information, notes, and the full package manifest for any application.
🛡️ System Health
Keep your Scoop installation in top shape with our integrated System Doctor.
- Dependency Checkup: Run diagnostics to find and fix common problems with your Scoop setup, like missing Git/7-Zip, with a single button click.
✅ Seamless & Secure Operations
For core actions, Rscoop acts as a seamless wrapper around the battle-tested official Scoop CLI, ensuring maximum compatibility and reliability. All operations are fully integrated into the UI—you'll never see a command prompt.
- Install, Uninstall, & Update: Manage packages with the click of a button, backed by Scoop's robust engine.
- Security-First Installation: A standout Rscoop feature. Before installing, the application can automatically scan the package with VirusTotal. This pre-install check protects you from malware by blocking the installation if threats are detected, a safety layer not present in standard Scoop.
- System Cleanup: Easily clean up old package versions to free up disk space.
