AppManager GTK/Libadwaita developed desktop utility in Vala that makes installing and uninstalling #AppImages on #Linux desktop painless. It supports both SquashFS and DwarFS AppImage formats, features a seamless background auto-update process, and leverages zsync delta updates for efficient bandwidth usage. Double-click any .AppImage to open a macOS-style drag-and-drop window, just drag to install and AppManager will move the app, wire up desktop entries, and copy icons. Features Drag-and-drop installer: Mimics the familiar macOS Applications install flow. Smart install modes: Can choose between portable (move the AppImage) and extracted (unpack to ~/Applications/.installed/AppRun) while letting you override it. Desktop integration: Extracts the bundled .desktop file via 7z or dwarfs, rewrites Exec and Icon, and stores it in ~/.local/share/applications. Simple uninstall: Right click in app drawer and choose Move to Trash, can uninstall in AppManager or simply delete from ~/Applications folder. Install registry + preferences: Main window lists installed apps, default mode, and cleanup behaviors, all stored with GSettings. Background app updates: Optional automatic update checks with configurable interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and notifications when updates are found. Your Linux AppImages don't need to be disorganized. https://itsfoss.com/appmanager/ https://github.com/kem-a/AppManager/releases
