It's an Electron app, so lots of stuff in appdata folder:
AppData/Roaming/ueli

and the user folder:
Users\XXX.ueli

It is packaged as a portable app here:
https://portapps.io/app/ueli-portable/

But that stil creates an appData\dictionaries folder and the user folder. User folder probably just cache files, but still, there are better launchers around that are natively portable with no trace.

The reasons PenDrive and igec mentioned are why I said "instant pass."

Not going to lie, Ueli does look good, but I wouldn't run it in the background. While it doesn't look as good, I use Executor instead as it uses very little memory and disk space.

Just an update that there is a portable download version now on the Ueli site:
https://ueli.app/#/download

Direct download:
https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ue ... .0-win.zip

As with I think, all Electron apps, portability can be set by using the '--user-data-dir' parameter on launch
--user-data-dir=E:\Apps\Ueli\Data

In that case, will move this to the submissions forum.

Def not portable after running some checks. It creates the following directory with application icons:

C:\Users\xxx\.ueli\*

This program was updated to v8.28.0 in Jan 2024. Now has a Linux build and has seen some MacOS enhancements:
