## What is rScoop?
rScoop is a native Windows app that wraps the [Scoop](https://scoop.sh) CLI. It doesn't replace Scoop rather it gives you a proper interface for it. Search across all your buckets at once, install and update packages, manage buckets, clean up disk space, and optionally scan downloads through VirusTotal, all from one window.
Built with Rust and SolidJS on [Tauri 2](https://v2.tauri.app). Runs in your system tray with desktop notifications, so it stays out of the way without losing track of what's running.
## Features
**Search**: Type a query, get results from every added bucket instantly. Results show the bucket, version, and whether you already have it installed. Click to view the full manifest or install directly.
**Installed Packages**: Grid view of everything Scoop has installed. Filter by name or bucket, see what has updates available, hold versions, uninstall, or switch to a specific version.
**Buckets**: Browse your current buckets, see last-updated timestamps, or search GitHub for community buckets by stars/forks. Add or remove buckets from the UI.
**System Doctor**: Checks for missing dependencies (Git, 7-Zip), broken shims, and other common issues. One-click cleanup for old package versions and stale download caches. Full cache and shim manager with per-file sizes.
**VirusTotal Integration**: Paste your API key in settings and rScoop will scan packages before install. Configurable threat threshold blocks anything above it.
**Background Operations**: Install, update, and uninstall run in the background. Close the window to the tray and operations keep going. Windows notifications tell you when something finishes, with action buttons on the toast so you can respond without reopening the app. Queue up five installs, minimize, come back to find them all done.
**Tray Menu**: Pin your favorite Scoop apps to the top of the tray menu, hide the ones you never launch from there, see your full app list laid out at a glance. Real icons extracted from each exe, so the tray reads like a proper launcher.
**Settings**: Dark/light theme, tray behavior, auto-cleanup, auto-updates, background operations, security preferences.

## Install
**Prerequisites:** [Scoop](https://scoop.sh) must be installed and working.
1. Go to [Releases](https://github.com/AmarBego/Rscoop/releases) and download the `.msi` installer or portable `.exe`
2. Run it. SmartScreen may prompt you, click *More info* → *Run anyway*
3. On first launch, rScoop caches your bucket metadata. Use the Doctor page to verify your Scoop setup is healthy
rScoop includes built-in auto-updates, you'll be notified when a new version is available.
## Translations
rScoop is available in multiple languages. Translations are community-driven via [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/rscoop), no coding needed, just an eye for good phrasing.

## Tech Stack
| Layer | Tech |
|---|---|
| Backend | Rust, Tauri 2 |
| Frontend | SolidJS, TypeScript, Vite |
| Package ops | Delegates to the Scoop CLI |
| Native | System tray, single instance, auto-updater, file dialogs |
The Rust backend exposes 25+ [commands](src-tauri/src/commands/), search, install, uninstall, update, hold, bucket management, VirusTotal scanning, doctor checks, cache/cleanup, shim management, and more. Everything goes through Scoop's CLI under the hood; rScoop doesn't reimplement package logic.
