Features

Feature Description
1 One-Click Install Drag & drop any .AppImage onto the window, or browse for it with the file picker. Linuxy validates the ELF header, extracts metadata and icons from the SquashFS, creates a .desktop entry, and copies everything to ~/.local/.
2 App Discovery Browse the AppImageHub catalog or search GitHub's appimage topic -- then install directly in one click.
3 Firejail Sandboxing Toggle per-app sandboxing with a single click. When enabled, the app runs under firejail --appimage with restricted filesystem and network access.
4 Delta Updates Checks for updates via the bundled appimageupdatetool sidecar. Only downloads binary diffs -- not the entire AppImage.
5 Downloads Watcher Automatically detects new .AppImage files appearing in ~/Downloads and prompts you to install them. A "Later" option suppresses repeated notifications.
6 Theming Switch between Dark, Light, and System-follow themes. Preferences persist across sessions via localStorage.
7 Storage Dashboard Settings panel shows total disk usage and installed app count at a glance.
8 CLI Mode Headless installation and management from the terminal: linuxy install <path>, linuxy list, linuxy help.
9 Desktop Integration Automatic .desktop file creation, icon extraction, and update-desktop-database for native menu integration.
