Exploring the Portly GUI

Miscellaneous topics

Portly was hand-written by humans (me, specifically) with minimal AI input. For the moment, at least, I believe that nothing beats good old-fashioned human craftsmanship !

Please note : Once you've installed Portly, the getting started page has a short tutorial to help you find your feet.

Windows download & installation

Download Portly-1.0.1.msi Windows Installer (68 Mb)

By default, Portly will be installed into C:\Program Files\Portly (you can modify this default location if you prefer). The installation program will also create a Start menu entry and a desktop icon.

When installation is complete, just double-click on the Portly icon to begin.

The first time you run Portly, it will create a data directory under your Windows user folder : C:/Users/{your name}/AppData/Local/Portly. This is where your personal data will be stored. You can read more here.
