When you can’t install software

A work PC, a shared computer, a quick job on someone else’s machine. Sometimes installing isn’t an option.

The portable TypersPad needs no install, so it works in many of these cases.

How the portable version works

The .exe runs from anywhere, including a USB stick. Your settings and kept tabs are stored on the computer you run it on, in your Windows user folder. They don’t travel on the stick.

The portable version doesn’t update itself. To update, download a new copy and replace the old file.
