Description

Manages Arch Linux updates through a graphical or tray workflow while helping with pre-update checks, AUR packages, and post-update tasks depending on configuration. It is useful for users who want more structure around rolling-release maintenance.

Update helpers can change many packages and run hooks or scripts. Read Arch News, review planned actions, and keep rollback or recovery options available.
