AppScout

A lightweight, standalone PowerShell script that audits your Windows system for installed software. It bypasses the "noise" of system drivers and SDKs, providing a clean, categorized list of your actual applications and games.

🌓 Modern Theming

AppScout features a dynamic theming engine. Switch between Dark Mode (default) and Light Mode instantly using the custom-drawn icon in the bottom-left corner.

Features

• Smart Categorization: Automatically groups items into STEAM GAMES, DEV TOOLS, DRIVERS, and APPLICATIONS.
• Built-in Editor: A GUI window allows you to live-edit the list before saving or copying.
• Advanced Tools:
  • Ctrl + F to Find.
  • Ctrl + H to Find and Replace.
  • Copy All to clipboard functionality.
• Dual-Architecture Scanning: Scans both 64-bit and 32-bit registry hives (HKLM and HKCU).
• Clean Output: Automatically excludes Windows updates, redistributables, and development "packs."

How to Use

1. Download the AppScout.ps1 file.
2. Right-click the file and select Run with PowerShell.
3. (Optional) If you get an execution policy error, run this command in PowerShell first:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
