Endstate
Endstate captures Windows applications and settings so they can be restored on another Windows PC. Scanning, saving, and restoring can all run locally and offline. It detects applications installed through EXE/MSI installers and the Microsoft Store using winget, with settings modules for 359 Windows applications. Saved setups are plain files in the user’s Documents folder that can be copied, backed up, or shared. Before restoring, users can review differences and select which detected applications and supported settings to apply. Each settings restore creates a backup that can be reverted with one click. Endstate reinstalls applications through WinGet and Chocolatey, while sponsored integrations can add settings migration support. Portable applications that are not registered in Windows are not detected. The provisioning engine is open source under Apache 2.0. The local product has no telemetry, tracking, or background reporting, and sends no data off the computer unless Endstate Cloud is enabled. The free plan costs 0.00 EUR forever, needs no account, and covers unlimited machines. Endstate Cloud is in early access and not generally available.
