Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Packd because setting up a new machine still feels stuck in 2010: download, run, click Next, repeat — for every single app.
Packd is simple:
Pick your apps on the website (Chrome, VS Code, Discord, whatever you need)
Download one small installer
Run it once — Packd installs everything using your system's official package manager
No account. No bundled toolbars. No mirrored installers.
What makes it different:
Every app comes from its official source, always up to date
Shows you the exact commands before anything runs
If one app fails, the rest still install — you get a clear summary at the end
Curated bundles for common setups: New PC, Developer, Gaming, and more
Clone this PC — for when you're moving machines, not starting from scratch.
Open the Packd desktop app, hit Clone this PC, and it scans what's already installed. You pick what to bring over, get a short shareable code, and run it on the new machine — everything reinstalls in one go.
The scan stays local on your machine. Nothing is uploaded until you choose what to share.
I wanted something like the old Ninite experience — but cross-platform, transparent, and built on the tools your OS already trusts.
I'd love your feedback:
What apps are missing from the catalog?
Have you tried cloning a setup between machines — what would make it easier?
Happy to answer anything — and thanks for checking out Packd 🚀
