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
