Operating system
- Windows 10 / Windows 11 — every app in the catalog publishes a build for you.
- Windows 8.1 or older — most catalog apps still publish a "legacy" installer, but you may need to grab an older version of the app from the publisher's archive page.
- macOS / Linux — Appvella's lists are Windows-first. The vast majority of vendors we link to also ship a macOS or Linux build, usually on the same download page — just look for the OS toggle once you're on the publisher's site.
Browser
If you're using one of the browsers from our catalog (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave) you'll see it named here. Use this to confirm which build to grab when you head over to the publisher's site.
Display, CPU cores, RAM
Coarse values reported by the browser. They're useful for estimating whether heavyweight apps (DaVinci Resolve, Docker Desktop, Krita) will run comfortably. They are not precise hardware specs — for that, run dxdiag from the Windows Run dialog (Win + R).
