AM-GUI
A simple graphical frontend to easily install, update, and manage AppImages and other portable formats on Linux, powered by AM.
- Latest Release (AppImage — Beta)
This AppImage bundles everything, and should work on any linux distro, even on musl based ones.
Thanks to Samueru-sama and fiftydinar for making AppImage builds quicker and easier with this TEMPLATE using the Anylinux-AppImages tools.
If you already have AM: use am -i am-gui or appman -i am-gui (depending on your configuration).
If not, download the Latest Release and follow the installation steps.
To integrate AM-GUI into your system, reinstall it via the app (search "am-gui") and you may remove the downloaded release afterward.

All credit goes to Ivan for his amazing work! I only handle the GUI, learning how to properly yell at GPT-4.1 to make sure that little f$@¤=# doesn't mess too much with the code.
