## What it is
Luna is an Electron-based desktop application providing a modern GUI for managing npm dependencies. It supports installing, updating, and uninstalling global and local packages with search, filtering, and package detail previews.

## Use cases
- manage npm packages with a graphical interface
- update outdated npm dependencies visually
- search and install npm packages without the command line
- detect missing or extraneous npm dependencies
- manage global and local node packages across platforms

## When to choose
- you prefer a GUI over the npm CLI for dependency management
- you need a cross-platform desktop npm manager
- you want visual filtering of outdated packages

## When to avoid
- you need fully scriptable or CI-friendly dependency management
- you use package managers other than npm like yarn or pnpm
- you need a lightweight CLI-only tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: package-manager, gui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: windows
- tags: npm, npm-gui, dependency-management, react, redux, desktop-app, command-line, electron, desktop, linux, macos, nodejs, javascript
