AM (Application Manager) is a Shell-based package manager for AppImage packages and other portable applications on GNU/Linux, inspired by the Arch User Repository. It installs, updates, removes, sandboxes, and integrates portable apps system-wide or locally, backed by a large community database of installation scripts.
Use cases
- manage appimages from the command line
- update all appimages at once
- install portable apps on linux
- sandbox appimages
- integrate appimages into the application menu
- find appimages in a curated database
- install appimages without libfuse2
When to choose
- you use many AppImage or portable apps on GNU/Linux and want APT-like management
- you want system-wide or per-user installation of portable apps with menu integration
- you want a large AUR-style catalog of AppImages with real update support
When to avoid
- you only use Flatpak, Snap, or distro packages
- you need a graphical software center rather than a CLI tool
- you expect the manager to fix broken apps - it only installs and integrates what upstream provides
