appimanage

A CLI-based helper for integration and management of AppImage programs on Linux systems.

Features

• Set a dedicated directory for AppImage files
• Create .desktop entries for AppImages for easy application launching
• Manage and update AppImage integrations

Installation (WIP)

git clone https://github.com/MK2112/appimanage.git
cd appimanage
pip install -e .

Usage

Set AppImage directory:

appimanage --set /path/to/appimages-directory

With a directory set, create start menu entries:

appimanage --startmenu

Supported Distributions

Tested on Debian-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali).

Roadmap

• --set to set the AppImage directory
• --unset to forget the AppImage directory
• --list to display all managed AppImages
• --startmenu to link all managed AppImages to the start menu
• --desktop to create desktop shortcuts for all AppImages
• --remove to delete a specific AppImage and its shortcuts
• --move to enable auto moving of AppImages and link updates
