## What it is
unsnap is a shell-based CLI tool that migrates installed snap packages to their flatpak equivalents on Linux. It generates a sequence of reviewable scripts (backup, install flatpak, enable flathub, install flatpaks, remove snaps) that users can inspect before executing.

## Use cases
- migrate from snap to flatpak
- remove snapd from ubuntu
- convert snap packages to flatpaks
- replace snaps with flatpak equivalents
- generate migration scripts for package manager switch
- uninstall snap and keep applications

## When to choose
- you want to move off snap packages to flatpak on a Linux desktop
- you want to review or edit migration scripts before running them
- you prefer a simple shell tool with no dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, reliable migration for production systems - the project is pre-alpha
- your snaps are not in the applist.csv mapping
- you are not on a Linux system with snap installed
