What is Fluent Store?
Fluent Store is a unifying frontend for Windows app stores and package managers. You can search all repositories at once, pick out an app, and install it without ever opening a browser or command prompt. With a Fluent Store Social account, you can create collections of apps to install or share in one click.
Other features include:
- Graphical interface for WinGet
- Download Microsoft Store apps without installing them
- Find Microsoft Store listings for installed apps (including some system apps)
What package sources are available?
Several sources are currently supported, with several more planned for the future. Listed below are the available sources, along with the features they currently support. Sources that implement at least one of the three features in the table can be added to Collections.

UWP Community projects have 'download' links, but they do not go directly to an installer. Fluent Store will attempt to follow the link and download/install it if recognized. If not, the link is opened in the default browser.
-
Fluent Store Social only supports collections, or lists of apps from other sources. It doesn't host any packages. Collections can be installed by ensuring that the appropriate package source is enabled.
