Capture and restore Windows machine state — apps and settings — from the command line.
Endstate CLI is the open-source engine behind Endstate. It scans a Windows machine for installed apps (via winget) and their settings, saves everything to one portable file, and reinstalls apps and restores settings on a fresh install. Scriptable JSON output for automation. Local-first: no account, no telemetry.
