Service terminated
Since end of November 2022, Updapy does not exist anymore.

 Version française disponible

Updapy is a free online service to be notified when updates for your favorite apps are available.

The service is easy to use:

  • Follow the applications you want, a bit like on Twitter
  • Personalize your updates by choosing your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and language (English or French)
  • Decide the way you get notified.


You can choose to be notified:

  • By receiving email alerts (for each update or a weekly digest email)
  • By subscribing to your RSS feed
  • Directly on your dashboard.


By default, an email is sent for each update. Personally, I advise you to use your RSS feed to avoid receiving emails and it will give you a good summary (an access to the latest 50 notifications).


If your favorite app is missing, you can make a request. Unless there is a compatibility issue with the system, it usually takes a day or two before the app is added. At the beginning thirty applications were available, today there are a hundred. You can take a look at the list of applications supported by Updapy.


Updapy becomes your centralized and dedicated space to download the latest versions of your favorite software. This can be useful, for example, after you format your hardrive or when you purchase a new PC.

Finally, like the title suggests, Updapy is only aiming at Windows users as this OS does not include an automated updates system… Otherwise, you can always switch to Linux or Mac if it is not already done!

PowerShell, the next-generation command-line tool

It is quite common to hear Linux users grumble not only because they are forced to use Windows, but they are not able to use their favorite commands such as “ls”, “cd”, “cat”, “more”, “rm”, etc.


PowerShell is integrated in the system since Windows 7. Already installed, but unfortunately, often ignored. However, PowerShell is the successor to the old MS-DOS command prompt. It allows you to write scripts using the .NET language and therefore use the power of an object-oriented language. The new console includes a large number of commands as well as syntax coloration.

To see all commands available, type Get-Command, the list is rather… long!


For more information, you can follow these video tutorials from Microsoft.
