Warehouse should help you make +things easier. +Wouldn't it be nice to have an app that could provide you with all the important information regarding a Flatpak app, as well as tools to manage it? + +Well, you're in luck this time! + +For this first look, we have an interesting app called ' **Warehouse** ' that **can help you manage Flatpak apps**. + +We have covered a similar app in the past, '[ **Flatseal**][1]', but that is geared towards managing the permissions of a Flatpak. + +Let's see what kind of functionality Warehouse has to offer. + +### Warehouse: Overview ⭐ + +![][2] + +Dubbed as “ **a versatile toolbox** ” by its developers, Warehouse can be used to **manage Flatpak user data** , **view a Flatpak's info** , and even **batch manage the installed Flatpaks on a system**. + +It has been written primarily in the **Python programming language** , and has the following key features: + + * **Easily manage user data** + * **Batch actions functionality** + * **Leftover data clean up** + + + +![][3] + +#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +I began testing Warehouse on my Ubuntu setup. It was straightforward to get it installed **from Flathub**. + +After I opened it, a list was shown with all the **installed Flatpak apps**. These were all **arranged neatly in an ordered list**. + +In my opinion, it would look even better if they added an option for switching to a grid layout. + +![][4] + +📋 + +Are you curious about the app listed above, Firefox? We recently covered that, it is a system monitoring app called '[Mission Center][5]'. + +Next, I moved on to **check the properties of a Flatpak app** , I clicked on the 'Info' logo besides an app to open up the app properties window. + +It served up all kinds of information pertaining to the app, starting from the **Name** , **Description** , **App ID,** all the way to the **active commit** and the **installed size**. + +![][6] + +Similarly, I could click on the 'Trash' icon to either **completely uninstall the Flatpak app** , or **keep user data** for future reinstallation, and recover the settings/content. + +![][7] + +Warehouse also has a **search functionality** that allows you to search for specific apps. This can come in handy when you have loads of Flatpak apps installed. + +Simply click on the magnifying glass at the top-left of the app to get started. + +![][8] + +You can also **set filters** to **sort through apps or even the runtimes** that are required by your system to accomplish various tasks. + +Click on the 'funnel' logo at the top-left to start filtering. + +![][9] + +I then took a look at the **batch actions feature**. I started by clicking on the 'tick-mark' logo at the top-right of the app. + +It then allowed me to select multiple apps, with the ability to perform actions such as **copying info** , **deleting app data** , and **uninstalling them**. + +The three little buttons at the bottom-right of the app facilitated the above-mentioned actions. + +![][10] + +Post that, I moved on to the hamburger menu that featured some important options. + +![][11] + +The first one ' **Install from file'** which allowed me to **install a Flatpak app by using the '.flatpakref' file**. + +![][12] + +During the installation, it asked me whether I wanted to install it for a specific user, or everyone who uses the system. I chose the latter. + +![][13] + +Subsequently, I took a look at the ' **Manage Leftover Data** ' option. It showed me how much data an old Flatpak app had left behind. + +I had the option to reinstall the app and recover the data via the 'Install' option, or I could use the 'Trash' option to completely remove any trace of it from my system. Sometimes leftover data takes up a lot of space. + +![][14] + +If you are someone who keeps installing/removing apps regularly, you may end up with a lot of leftover data. + +If you want to manage Flatpak repos, you can head to the ' **Manage Remotes** ' option that allows you to add or remove them. + +![][15] + +While you can do this from the software center on Fedora and some other distributions, it would feel like a seamless experience, getting all the essentials under a single app. + +And finally, you have plenty of ' **Keyboard Shortcuts** ' available to storm through all the functionalities of the app using the keyboard. + +![][16] + +### 📥 Download Warehouse + +You can head over to the [Flathub store][17] to grab the latest release. + +[Warehouse (Flathub)][17] + +You can also visit its [GitHub repo][18] to take a look at its source code. + +_💬 What do you think about the Warehouse app?
