A fast, modern browser for the npm registry.
The goal of npmx.dev is to build a fast, modern browser for the npm registry.
We're not replacing the npm registry, but instead providing an elevated developer experience through a fast, modern UI.
What npmx offers:
- Speed – Fast searching, filtering, and navigation.
- Simplicity – Get the information you need when you need it in an intuitive UI.
- URL Compatibility – Replace
npmjs.comwithxnpmjs.comornpmx.devin any URL and it just works. - First-class accessibility – Keyboard-friendly, screen-reader-aware experience baked in from the start.
- Internationalized UI – Use npmx in dozens of locales, including RTL languages.
- Enhanced admin experience – Manage your packages, teams, and organizations from the browser, powered by your local npm CLI.
- Shareable URLs – Every view on every page is shareable through the URL, making sharing a breeze.

🚧 = coming soon
npmx.dev supports npm permalinks – just replace npmjs.com with npmx.dev or xnpmjs.com to get the npmx experience:
| npm URL | npmx.dev equivalent |
|---|---|
npmjs.com/package/nuxt |
npmx.dev/package/nuxt |
npmjs.com/package/@nuxt/kit |
npmx.dev/package/@nuxt/kit |
npmjs.com/package/vue/v/3.4.0 |
npmx.dev/package/vue/v/3.4.0 |
npmjs.com/search?q=vue |
npmx.dev/search?q=vue |
npmjs.com/~sindresorhus |
npmx.dev/~sindresorhus |
npmjs.com/org/nuxt |
npmx.dev/org/nuxt |
Tip
Want automatic redirects? Try the npmx-redirect extension for Chrome / Firefox.
/package/<name>/access– dedicated npm-compatible access settings URL/package/<name>/dependents– dependent packages list/settings/*– account settings pages
npmx.dev also supports shorter, cleaner URLs:
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
/<package> |
/nuxt |
/<pkg>@<version> |
/vue@3.4.0 |
/@scope/name |
/@nuxt/kit |
/@org |
/@nuxt |
/~username |
/~sindresorhus |
