Highlights

  • A full redesign. A brand-gradient Updates card with Update all and a major / minor / patch breakdown, app tiles, from → to versions with update-type badges, a rebuilt detail pane ("What's new", details, tags, command), a floating selection bar and toasts with Undo / Retry.
  • Motion that respects your settings. Staggered lists, page transitions, a progress ring on each app and a result badge when it finishes. It follows the Windows "Animation effects" setting, and Settings has its own switch.
  • Starter packs. Discover opens with popular searches and six packs for setting up a new PC: Essentials, Developer, Creative, Chat & meetings, Gaming, and Privacy & security. Apps you already have are left alone.
  • Choose a version. Install or update to a specific release instead of the newest one.
  • Right-click any row (or hover it) for quick actions: install / update / uninstall, skip, pin, choose a version, copy the id or command.
  • Taskbar progress. The taskbar button shows progress for the whole run and flashes if it finishes while Updraft is in the background.
  • Faster tab switching (lists are reused for 5 minutes; F5 rescans), a shortcuts sheet on F1, Ctrl+, for Settings, and a --demo mode with sample data and simulated installs.

New website and video: take the 47-second tour at https://bilalansari.in/updraft/

Install: download the -setup.exe for your CPU, win-x64 (Intel/AMD) or win-arm64 (Windows on ARM), and run it. Portable: the .zip needs no install, just extract and run Updraft.exe. MSIX (optional): if this release has an Updraft.msixbundle, trust Updraft-signing.cer first (see packaging/README.md), then open the bundle. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt. The binaries are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may show a warning (More info, then Run anyway).
