When most people think of apps that run from the USB stick alone, they think of PortableApps. However there is another choice, and it’s called LiberKey.
I will admit up front that this doesn’t look as good as PortableApps does, however I will say it runs faster and is easier to get to the apps you want quicker.
The first notable difference is that there are categories for apps, which PA doesn’t have (or if there is, I didn’t find that feature).
Secondly you can create both categories and groups. A quick right-click anywhere in LiberKey shows these options:
I even appreciate the fact you can add separator lines, too.
Like PA, there are different installations you can download. I chose to go with the largest, that being "Ultimate". It is jam-packed with apps. Lots of them. It will take time to go thru them all to see what you get.
In addition there are plenty more besides that. I honestly had no clue you could stuff this many apps on a USB stick – even for video editing.
As said above, LiberKey doesn’t exactly look good but wow does it perform well.
LiberKey doesn’t have to be installed to a stick. You could easily push it to CD or DVD instead and run it that way alternatively.
