Management & Utilities

list

fp-appimage-updater list

Shows all configured apps along with their locally recorded version and current integration status (symlink presence, desktop entry, and icon).

remove

fp-appimage-updater remove <app-name>
fp-appimage-updater remove -a

Removes the binary, symlink, extracted icons, and desktop files for an app. This does not delete the recipe file — the app can be reinstalled by running update again.

Flags

boolean

Remove every installed app at once.

Examples

# Remove a single app
fp-appimage-updater remove whatpulse

# Remove all installed apps
fp-appimage-updater remove -a

remove -a removes all installed AppImages, their symlinks, icons, and desktop entries in one step. This cannot be undone without running update again.

self-update

fp-appimage-updater self-update

Fetches the latest release of fp-appimage-updater itself and replaces the current binary.

Flags

boolean

Include pre-release versions when checking for a newer binary.

# Update to the latest stable release

# Update including pre-release versions
fp-appimage-updater self-update --pre-release
