# Add Remove Programs

> Add Remove Programs (ARP) tracks Windows applications for the people who package and manage them: the current version of each, where it came from, how to install it silently, and how hard it is to package. Versions are checked against vendor sources every day.

Each application has one page at https://addremoveprograms.com/application/<slug>/ with its current version and release history, release notes, installer type and silent install and uninstall commands, package manager ids (winget, Chocolatey, Scoop), lifecycle status, and a packaging complexity score. Vendor pages are at https://addremoveprograms.com/vendor/<slug>/.
