Package Manager Manager

Package Manager Manager for macOS

Every package.
One place.

Package Manager Manager inventories the tools scattered across your package managers, on this Mac or your other Macs over SSH. See what you have, what needs an update, and where everything came from.

One honest inventory

Your tools stopped living in one place.

Package managers

Homebrew, npm, npx, uv, uvx, Cargo, and rustup, searched together.

Native Mac app

Search packages, compare versions, and open their project links without returning to the terminal.

New abstractions

pkg⋅mgr² uses each manager’s own commands. Your setup stays yours.

From install to source

See the package, not just the package name.

Open a package to see its installed version, install location, binary path, homepage, repository, and docs. When pkg⋅mgr² knows the native command, update or uninstall it from the same view.

  • Installed and latest versions
  • Project links and local paths
  • Native update and uninstall actions

One app, more Macs

Update the Macs you already SSH into.

Add a Mac from the Package Manager Manager menu. Its Installed and Outdated lists appear in the sidebar, ready for updates and uninstalls.

  • Local network and Tailscale hosts
  • Your existing SSH config, keys, agent, and known_hosts
  • Individual updates, Update All, and uninstalls
Maliwan Installed Outdated
Pangolin Installed Outdated

Update with context

Read the release notes before you update.

Open the project’s release notes beside the installed package. Check breaking changes, then run the update when you’re ready.

  • Installed and available versions together
  • Release notes in the package view
  • Update after you review the changes
01

Find the strays

Cached npx commands and uvx environments count too. If it is taking up space, it belongs in the inventory.

02

Act in context

Update and remove supported packages with the manager that installed them.

03

Keep the caveats

Missing metadata stays missing. rustup remains inventory-only until its actions are safe and obvious.

Free and open source

Take inventory.
