I’ve been working on NeoArch v3 — an Arch Linux package management app

Hello everyone,

I’m an independent developer and I’ve been working on NeoArch for a while, so I thought I’d share it here and see what people think.The source code is on GitHub:

NeoArch is an open-source package and system management application for Arch Linux. The main idea is to have a single GUI for things that normally require different tools or terminal commands. It currently supports pacman, AUR, Flatpak, and npm, and I’ve been adding more system-management features around them.

The GUI can handle things like installing and removing packages, updates and downgrades, .pacnew files and three-way merging, package cache and orphan cleanup, keyring management, system health checks, backups and snapshots, scheduled updates, AppImages, security scanning, and Arch Linux news.

There is also a CLI version for people who prefer the terminal. I’m continuing to work on both versions and add new functionality.

I’m maintaining the project myself, and there are currently two AUR packages: neoarch for stable releases and neoarch-git for the latest development version.

The project website is available as well,

I’d genuinely like to hear what Arch/Linux users think about it, especially if there are things you think could be improved or features that would make it more useful.

Thanks for taking a look.

I’ll try to remember to take a look; hopefully I will remember in the next 2-3 days; I will be traveling TWICE during the next month so available time may be limited, and I know from past travels that every time I return, there are a number of things to do that take up time, even for a retiree like me, but this does look like something worth doing, so I applaud it and if I am able to squeeze in enough time to check it out I’d be pleased to do so!

Thanks a lot, Brian! I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out, especially with your travel schedule. No rush at all — whenever you get a chance, I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have. Hope you have a good trip!
