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.

• 14 package managers — brew, pacman, AUR, apt, dnf, snap, pip, pipx, cargo, go, npm, bun, flatpak (+ brew dependency tracking)
• Instant startup — scans once, caches for 10 days, opens in milliseconds on repeat launches
• Fuzzy search — find any package across all managers instantly with /
• Snapshots & diffs — save your system state, then diff to see what was added, removed, or upgraded
• Update detection — packages with available updates show a ↑ indicator (checked every 7 days)
• Custom descriptions — press e in the detail view to annotate any package; persists across sessions
• Background descriptions — package summaries load asynchronously and cache for 24 hours
• Export — dump your full package list to JSON or text for backup, migration, or dotfile tracking
• Self-updating — run gpk update to grab the latest release automatically
• Tokyo Night theme — carefully designed color palette with per-manager color coding
• Vim keybindings — j/k, g/G, Ctrl+d/Ctrl+u — feels like home
• Zero dependencies — single static Go binary, no runtime requirements
• Cross-platform — works on macOS and Linux; skips managers that aren't installed

go install github.com/neur0map/glazepkg/cmd/gpk@latest

If gpk is not found after installing, add Go's bin directory to your PATH:

# bash (~/.bashrc) or zsh (~/.zshrc)
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

# fish
fish_add_path ~/go/bin

Or grab a pre-built binary for macOS (ARM/Intel) or Linux (x64/ARM).

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/neur0map/glazepkg.git
cd glazepkg && go build ./cmd/gpk

gpk update

Self-updates the binary to the latest release. Run gpk version to check your current version.

gpk              Launch TUI
gpk update       Self-update to latest release
gpk version      Show current version
gpk --help       Show keybind reference

Just run gpk — it drops straight into a beautiful table. 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.

• Managers that aren't installed are silently skipped — no errors, no config needed.
• Brew separates explicitly installed formulae from auto-pulled dependencies — deps go in a dedicated deps tab.
• 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 e in the detail view to add custom descriptions — these persist across sessions and won't be overwritten.

GlazePKG can track how your system changes over time:

1. Snapshot (s) — saves every package name, version, and source to a timestamped JSON file
2. 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.

All data lives under ~/.local/share/glazepkg/ (respects XDG_DATA_HOME):

• Bubble Tea — TUI framework
• Lip Gloss — terminal styling
• Bubbles — TUI components
• Fuzzy — fuzzy matching
