ImgBurn is portable
Recuva is portable
KeePass is portable
2. GIMP Portable
3. ClamWinAntivirus Portable
3 out these is not portable in nature. the rest don’t need the portable crapps launcher.
Good list, thanks.
I’m guessing from this article that English is not your native tongue, correct?
thx! the ipod one is just what i needed!
It’s my first time to visit your website. I am looking for this information to help me grow my online business. Thanks for this information!
that is very nice
Another one to add to the list might be either uTorrent or Transmission. Always handy to have a BT client with you on he go…never know when airport delays might be the perfect time to snag the rest of that file for the long flight ahead.

I’m all about OperaUSB, Audacity and Open Office are also worth a mention but good list nevertheless, I hadn’t even heard of anyTV and I’m so glad they made IMGburn portable!!

A very useful and handy list! I almost use all these portable apps excluding Recuva which never actually worked out for me
IMGBurn haven’t tried that either! WIll give it a go
Thanks, Great list.
I am in shock that open office is not part of this portable apps list.
You are out of bandwith man…
@goran
sorry for outage, actually i wasn’t out of bandwidth i got a huge traffic hailstorm last night next morning i checked my email and i got e-mail from my hosting support that i was using a lot of server resources but now problems are fixed my site is optimized for higher traffic jams
and thank you so much for hanging by and let me know all this
Damn better use rapidshare os smth else, because “This user is out of bandwidth.” really annoys :>
why Google Chrome are in this list
It says you’re still out of bandwidth
Notice: All bandwidth problems are solved, sorry for inconvenience.
Can also consider portableapps.com as alternative portable applications database.
@patrick
many portable apps shared in this post was taken from portableapps.com and most of them were taken from here and there which were obviously not available on portable apps, the applications taken from portable apps were those i thought are best.
thanks for your information was good
This is an awesome post, thanks for typing it out! I find some portable apps useful!
nice info!
check out my site, i also put some list of portable apps
Thanks for the great post. Half of them I was not aware of.
Thanks for the great list. But I sometimes wonder why we still need software to be portable? They don’t even take a minute to install.
@Web Hosting
when you have apps like the anytv one sometimes its not really an option to install if only because places like work/school might monitor what gets installed and im sure they wouldnt be happy to see progs like that on a computer – or sometimes some pcs are setup that you cant even install progs at all and you can only use these portable apps
