Features: • Notification for updates and news • Searching updates for Arch (+AUR), Plasma Widgets, Flatpak • Bash script with useful options for managing packages • Two types of lists: compact and extended with additional information • Button to initiate a full system upgrade in the selected terminal • Option to refresh the mirrorlist with the latest mirrors filtered by speed • Customizable icon on the panel and package icons in the list • Also should work on non-Arch-based systems (for Plasma Widgets and Flatpak)

Changelog 2.9.2
- SwipeView for tab switching. Tabs are now switched by swiping with the left mouse button. - Arch packages with a .desktop file now display their respective icons in the package list. - In addition to widgets (plasmoids), updates are also checked for: KWin Scripts, KWin Effects, Plasma 6 Wallpaper Plugins. - Fixed an issue where the widget could break while searching for Flatpak updates - Flatpak option to remove runtimes and extensions that are not used by installed applications - Show yakuake window when creating session
Icons for Flatpak and Widgets are defined automatically. For system packages, you need to choose the displayed icon yourself, as shown in the screenshot here: https://github.com/exequtic/apdatifier/releases/tag/2.8

An amazing and well developed software, i wish to see something like this for NixOS.
10 Really cool! Do you have plans to extend it for the DNF package manager?
No, I’m not planning to add support for other distros.
10 Love it !
Btw how do I get icons other than for flatpaks app to display ? I only have the plasmoid's default package icon for them instead of the actual ones

10 Excellent applet, love it!! It works well, very configurable, it's everything I was looking for and more.
10 Awesome plasmoid, thanks
The plasmoid is no longer hidden when there are no updates even if you have "show when important" checked.
Change "Show when 0 updates are pending" setting. Set any value other than 0 to hide the icon if there are no updates.
Thanks for continued updates and support.
10 It is the most complete and elegant upgrade plasmoid I have been able to use so far.
Thanks ! :)
