Is anyone working on a GUI tool to manage packages?

Have you had a chance to take a look at flox yet? Introducing flox - Nix for simplicity and scale

It’s got some of what you’re looking for. We provide a web app for:

  • Installing new packages to globally synchronized profiles
  • Searching for packages by name description
  • Remove packages from profiles

Right now, we don’t have support for updating NixOS configurations or other declarative config directly in the GUI because at this stage, flox is mainly designed for making Nix packages easier to use, instead of making NixOS easier.

We’d love to hear what you think if you have a chance to take a look or play with it.
