SPM – simple package manager

SPM is a TUI wrapper for pacman and yay that makes package management visual and interactive.

SPM replaces command-line package management with an interactive interface. Instead of remembering pacman flags and typing package names, you browse, search, and select packages visually with real-time information previews.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Cache intelligence – Automatic background sync keeps package lists current for fast searching.
• Visual package browser – Search and install from all repositories with live package information, descriptions, and dependencies displayed as you navigate.
• Built-in downgrade – Access Arch Linux Archive directly to roll back problematic updates without external tools.
• Multiple removal strategies – Choose between different dependency handling methods depending on what you’re removing.
• Dependency analysis – See what depends on what, find orphaned packages, and understand removal impact before you commit.
• Hook manager – View, create, edit, and manage ALPM hooks with full CRUD operations for user hooks and read-only access to system hooks.
• Pacnew/Pacsave manager – Find and resolve .pacnew and .pacsave files with diff previews and bulk actions.
• Interactive configuration – Edit pacman.conf options and manage repositories without opening a text editor.
