AfterFormat

Pick the programs you use and we build one set of installer files. The catalogue covers 110 programs in Korean, English and Japanese, and each entry states what the program is and on what terms you are allowed to use it. The things that trip people up before and after a format are covered in eight guides.

Download sites lose trust in fairly predictable ways. So the refusals come first.

We never host installers

Every file comes from the vendor’s own server; nothing passes through ours. Sitting in the middle creates the opportunity to swap a file, and the absence of that opportunity is the firmest promise this site can make.

Nothing is slipped into the list

The install list contains what you picked and nothing else. Bundling is a common revenue model for download sites here; we do not use it.

No old versions

We will not become a place that spreads builds with known vulnerabilities. Version information is published; the files are not.

It answers whether a program may be installed on a work PC. A surprising number are free for personal use but licensed for business — ALZip, ALYac, IrfanView, AnyDesk and others — and almost no Korean download site distinguishes them. Installing one on a company machine without noticing is a common way to end up in a licence dispute.

Licence terms are read from the vendor’s own EULA or documentation, and the date they were checked is recorded alongside. Nothing is inferred. That data is what makes the “Work PC” template possible: it holds only what a company can install without a licence problem.

1. 01 Every day at noon (KST) the winget manifests are scanned for new versions, rather than writing a crawler per vendor.
2. 02 Findings are not published automatically — they open a pull request for a person to review. Detection and publication are deliberately separate so a bad version or dead link never reaches you unchecked.
3. 03 Download URLs are probed at the same time. When a vendor moves a page, the download button quietly becomes a 404.
4. 04 Every version carries the date it was last verified. Data that has aged should look aged.

One person builds and maintains it. If you find something wrong, or a program worth adding, please say so. Corrections to a licence judgement are especially welcome — the accuracy of that data is what this site stands on, and leaving an error in place would make it pointless.
