nixdash

A TUI for managing Nix packages. Search, install, remove, and spin up temporary shells without leaving your terminal.

nixdash wraps fzf, gum, and nix-search-tv into a single keyboard-driven interface. Works with Home Manager, NixOS, or any Nix flake setup.

Features

• Browse installed packages grouped by type
• Search 177k+ nixpkgs with real-time fuzzy search
• Install / Remove with diff preview and multiselect
• Temporary shells to test packages before installing
• External flakes with guided add/remove workflow
• Keyboard shortcuts for instant navigation
