Report outdated apps, from archived sources, and potentially vulnerable
It's Valentine's Day, the holiday of lovers and... regrets!
I won't be here to comfort you about your failed relationships (I already have my own to think about)... but let's talk about apps.
Or rather, the apps you're fond of and whose relationship you're unaware of has stagnated. Or rather, how dated your relationship with them is.
As the title suggests, from now on, all apps from GitHub repositories will be checked (every two weeks) and listed based on:
- archive status (i.e., whether the repository has been archived)
- when the last update for that release was made (indicating the year, if no updates have been made in the last year)
Don't worry! There are 63 more programs available than in version 9.9.3... bringing the total to 2842 unique programs (2430 AppImage packages and 412 programs in other portable formats) that can "warm your heart", who knows?!
In the following examples, we'll use skype (a repository of mine that I archived in 2025) and akasha (whose last release dates back to 2018).
| OPTION | Screenshot |
|---|---|
-i or install
| 
|
-a or about
| 
|
-l or list
| 
|
-u or update
| 
|
-f or files
| 
|
NOTE, -a and -l reports the info only if the app is installed. See "How can I get the version of a software without installing it?" to understand why.
You can see the lists of archived/obsolete apps down below:
- https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/programs/archived-apps
- https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/programs/obsolete-apps
As I write this, for the sake of intellectual honesty, I feel compelled to publish data on apps in the AM database that come from github.com and whose "release" section has not received any new updates in the last 10 years:
The lists are updated every two weeks, that is, every 14 days.
Option downgrade or --rollback, lists are now smaller (if you want)
From now on, you will be able to see shorter downgrade lists when the repository publishes releases as snapshots.
| app | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| anydesk | 
| 
|
| brave | 
| 
|
| filelight | 
| 
|
A prompt will ask for confirmation to exclude "snapshot" versions.
In the examples: firefox, brave and filelight
Default is "Y" (exclude snapshots), press "n" to include snapshot versions
simplescreenrecorder-2026-02-08_00.45.53.mp4
Option -t or template
Now the prompt warns you that an appname already exists.
Also, for lazy users, it is possible to add the whole URL of the github repository or the releases section of the latter to extract the appname, where possible.
