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 downloaded Portly, the getting started page has a short tutorial to help you find your feet.

Windows download & installation

Download Portly_v100.zip (66 Mb)

Portly is distributed as a zip file, so you'll first need to extract the contents somewhere convenient (your desktop is fine for now, you can always move the files later). When done, you'll see something like this. Just double-click the Portly.exe 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/Roaming/Portly). This is where your personal data will be stored. You can read more here.
