Modern interface, actively developed and provides clear visualisations of computer/app usage. Not tested yet for portability. By all indications it is, but someone can please check.

Once the developer of apps tracker offered an archived version of his program which he erroneously labelled portable- see this page at Archive.Org. I contacted him and requested a really portable version, he refused and took down the archived (no installer) version. I haven't yet found a good and really portable tracking tool. Anyway, apps tracker was crash-prone when I tested it and it is too ugly for me. About Softpedia- they have no idea what portable means- it seems it is enough for them if a program doesn't have an installer to call it portable.

Thanks. That's a pity because it's a really nice app.

I saved this to my system for checking (obviously Baas beat me to it and I can verify that it writes to All Users\App Service). However, I'd like to point out that you have to change where it saves screenshots to (by default saves to programdata).
