✨ Features – Scoop GUI for Windows

Rscoop is more than just a package list. It's a full-fledged, native management toolkit that supercharges your Scoop experience.

🚀 Blazing-Fast Native Performance

At its core, Rscoop leverages a custom-built Rust backend to handle the heavy lifting. We've re-engineered critical logic to be native to Rscoop, delivering incredible speed and responsiveness.

• Instant Search: Find the exact package you need in milliseconds. Our native search implementation scans all your buckets instantly.
• Package & Update Discovery: Listing installed packages and checking for available updates is faster than ever.

🪣 Bucket Management in Scoop GUI

Rscoop introduces a full-featured bucket management system, allowing you to discover, add, and manage Scoop buckets without ever leaving the app.

• Browse & Search: Explore thousands of community buckets, not just the default ones.
• Install & Remove: Add or remove buckets with a single click.
• View Manifests: Instantly view package manifests within any bucket.
• Offline Search: A smart caching system downloads bucket data for lightning-fast offline searching.

⚙️ Advanced Scoop Package Management

Rscoop provides a level of control that goes far beyond the standard command line. Manage every aspect of your Scoop installation and packages through an intuitive UI.

• Shim Manager: A complete interface to manage your Scoop shims. View, remove, and even alter shims without touching the command line.
• Hold Packages: Prevent specific packages from being updated with a single click, giving you full control over your versions.
• Cache Manager: Get a detailed view of all cached installer files, see how much space they're using, and selectively remove them.
• Package Details: Instantly view detailed information, notes, and the full package manifest for any application.
• Version Management: Seamlessly switch between versions on versioned installs of packages.

🛡️ System Health

Keep your Scoop installation in top shape with our integrated System Doctor.

• Dependency Checkup: Run diagnostics to find and fix common problems with your Scoop setup, like missing Git/7-Zip, with a single button click.
• Cache cleaner: Clean-up junk with one click (doesn't clean versioned installs)

✅ Seamless & Secure Operations

For core actions, Rscoop acts as a seamless wrapper around the battle-tested official Scoop CLI, ensuring maximum compatibility and reliability. All operations are fully integrated into the UI—you'll never see a command prompt.

• Install, Uninstall, & Update: Manage packages with the click of a button, backed by Scoop's robust engine.
• Security-First Installation: A standout Rscoop feature. Before installing, the application can automatically scan the package with VirusTotal. This pre-install check protects you from malware by blocking the installation if threats are detected, a safety layer not present in standard Scoop.
• System Cleanup: Easily clean up old package versions to free up disk space.
