This should be installed as default in all distro. Run it with --install, put appimages in ~/Applications and it’s done, you’ll see all apps in your DE app menu
No one mentioned it yet, but there’s also AppManager.
GearLever works better
I just put appimage files in my $PATH. what else does this do?
GearLever will also perform automatic updates for your AppImages
I believe it also generates menu entries (.desktop files) for them.
I agree, this is a very handy app, and I felt very similarly when I first discovered it. That said, I’ve had some issues with AppImageInstaller that I haven’t had with GearLever, it’s nearest equivalent. That’s the beauty of Linux FOSS though, so many choices :)
Thanks for sharing! This APP looks very interesting for non tech people

Would you be so kind to elaborate? Being explicit would already make a huge difference. Thank you in advance!
GearLever is my pick too. It does its job, not perfect but good. Updates can be tricky tho sometimes.
