# NeoArch > **Modern package manager for Arch Linux — pacman · AUR · Flatpak · npm.** [](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neoarch-git) [](https://github.com/Sanjaya-Danushka/Neoarch/releases) [](https://github.com/Sanjaya-Danushka/Neoarch/stargazers) [](LICENSE)

NeoArch is a desktop app and a command-line tool in one package for everything you install on Arch. Search, install, update, and clean packages from pacman, the AUR (with live search), Flatpak, and npm — from a native PyQt6 GUI or a headless neo CLI with --json automation.

The GUI (neoarch) and the CLI (neo) share one backend — the same package lists, update data, and safety checks behave identically in both.

What NeoArch does for you

Area	What you get
Search & install	One search box across pacman, AUR (live), Flatpak, and npm, filterable per source
Update center	Updates from every source in one list, staged updates, snapshot-before-update
Maintenance	Orphans, cache cleaning, .pacnew/.pacsave merging, Arch news
Safety	Timeshift snapshots, btrfs-aware backups, and a PKGBUILD security scan gate before AUR installs
Workspace	Docker, Git, AppImages, portable package Bundles (save your setup for life), and a plugin system
Cloud	Supabase sign-in to sync favorites and bundles across devices
CLI	Every feature scriptable through neo with --json output
