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**](https://itsfoss.com/flatseal/)', but that is geared towards managing the permissions of a Flatpak.

Let's see what kind of functionality Warehouse has to offer.

## Warehouse: Overview ⭐

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**

### 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.

📋

Are you curious about the app listed above, Firefox? We recently covered that, it is a system monitoring app called '[Mission Center](https://news.itsfoss.com/mission-center/?ref=itsfoss.com)'.

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**.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Post that, I moved on to the hamburger menu that featured some important options.

The first one '**Install from file'** which allowed me to **install a Flatpak app by using the '.flatpakref' file**.

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.

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.

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.

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.
