CarePackage is a desktop application for Windows 10/11 heavily inspired by Ninite that makes it quick and easy to download and install all of your favorite programs at once. CarePackage's intended use case is to be used on a new installation of Windows, but of course you can use it however you'd like!
You can view all software that is managed by CarePackage in SOFTWARE.md.
What CarePackage DOES:
- Downloads the latest versions of the programs you select
- Installs each program, one after another, or presents the files if the downloaded programs are compressed archives
- Allows you to opt out of installing the programs after they've been downloaded
What CarePackage DOESN'T DO
- Check for program updates
- Update installed programs
- Most programs allow you to update installations by running a new installer
CarePackage comes in two flavors: portable (carepackage.exe) and standalone (carepackage_installer.exe). The portable version is a single executable that doesn't require any installation. Standalone, on the other hand, is installed on the system.
Functionally the two versions are the same but the standalone version will check for new releases of the application and has configurable settings.

- Selecting different "versions" of software to manage, for example instead of having two listings of Godot for the normal version and the C# version, it will be a single listing that lets you choose which version to manage
- The ability to text search software
