I'm working on adding legacy builds of our officially-released apps that have dropped support for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 to the base app homepages. The goal is to make them easier to find for folks on legacy systems. I'm listing out completed packages and packages that are being researched and built below. The packages are designed to install alongside your main app installs and won't be updated to the latest version - breaking compatibility with your legacy OS - by the PA.c Platform. We don't need copies of any of the apps listed, thanks.

Welcome to the PortableApps.com outdated apps tracker. Please post a comment for any outdated official apps that aren't already listed with AppName Version as the title (no dashes, Vs or other text). Before posting a request, please make sure that their stable Windows build is available and they have been announced by their publisher (just being available on a download/ftp server, github, or 3rd party site doesn't count as the app may not yet be official). Comments will be deleted as they are added.

better management of sec updates, preventing forget and easy scheduling/workflow friendly

Submitted by UpdateInformer on April 13, 2025 - 4:14pm

to prevent forgeting, extreme long unpatched time and unneeded official pointing out sec issues,
a simply added contact form could be also a possibility to direct convert to a task or appointment to schedule it.
it would be a huge improvement in all areas, like said.

We're back online as of 10:35pm today (April 4). Website and Platform usage should be fully functional. The site went offline at 3:12pm yesterday (April 3) and I updated via all our social media platforms while the site was down. I'll put together a summary of what happened sometime this weekend. Thanks for your patience and support.

Note that outgoing email isn't yet working, so account signups, password resets, notifications, etc will not go out.

Calendar-Kanban or Kanban-Calendar App

Submitted by UpdateInformer on March 31, 2025 - 5:38pm

like trying to enhence and go modern, have it in one and reduce needed updated calendar, task and kanban apps, i had the idea to look for a combined calendar-kanban app.
best open source and widely used, maybe even with huge community, but not neccesairly.
the option show task in calendar is also nice idea.
one can get the most of it if you can use kanban and have on the other hand appointments in view.
i'm not sure if one got the obviouse idea.
it would be the solution, as we have here maybe 20apps for it, but no breakthrough, a longtail.
