Apps script

A fast, interactive CLI tool to browse installed pacman packages and flatpak applications using fzf.

Features

• Unified View: Seamlessly browses both native/AUR Arch packages and Flatpaks in a single interface.
• Dual Modes:
  • Package View: Displays package metadata (pacman -Qil) or Flatpak info alongside file lists.
  • Dependency View: Renders interactive dependency trees (pactree) with explicit (●) and dependency (◦) markers.
• Searchable Source Tags: Color-coded repository tags (core, extra, multilib, omarchy, aur, flatpak) that you can search and filter against.
• Stateless & Lightweight: Uses fzf's modern transform and reload actions with zero temporary files.

Requirements

• fzf
• pacman
• pacman-contrib (for pactree)

Optional

• flatpak

Keybindings
