Portapps is a collection of portable Windows applications, each launched through a Go-written wrapper executable that makes the underlying app portable. Apps can be downloaded as portable setups or 7z archives and run from a USB stick without installation.
Use cases
- run applications from a USB stick on Windows
- use apps without installing them on the system
- carry my favorite programs portably between computers
- make a Windows application portable
- avoid leaving traces of apps on the host machine
- download portable versions of popular software
When to choose
- you need Windows apps that run without installation, e.g. from a USB drive
- you want to keep application data isolated from the host system
- you frequently move between Windows machines and want consistent app setups
When to avoid
- you need portable apps on Linux or macOS
- you want a general-purpose portable app packager rather than a curated collection
- your target application is not among the Portapps collection
