AppPorter
What it is
AppPorter distributes entitled applications to desktop and mobile endpoints and hosts private Python and npm packages. It supports Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and Windows, with package or installer formats including deb, rpm, dmg, pkg, APK, IPA, exe, and msi. A portal and local agent support installation, updates, repair, and removal, including required and optional updates.
Admins can assign apps to users, groups, devices, or organizations according to subscription, role, license, or release channel. Internal, beta, and stable channels support staged rollouts with policy windows. A branded self-service portal lets users browse approved apps, view release notes, and install software. The Python registry supports wheels and source distributions through a pip-compatible Simple API; the npm registry supports scoped and unscoped packages. AppPorter lists SHA-256 integrity fields, checksums, and metadata, along with server-side OIDC, role and tenant controls, and HTTPS delivery. Release operations can be reviewed and exported in audit logs. Pricing is available on request.
