Instead of waiting to see if 'Home on iPod' actually makes its debut, you can start running several OS X applications from your iPod or any other portable drive now. The people at the Free Open Source Mac User Group have eighteen different applications that you can run from external storage on your Mac with another nine apps being worked on. And these are some of the more popular OS X Open Source apps, things you might actually use.

Portable OS X Apps. You will find several. If you know about OS X, why not get involved and help create some? February 16, 2007 - 12:20pm. Portable OS X Apps. You will find several.

Thanks tracon, these programs are great! PortableOSX installs a full or stripped down version of Mac OS X to a mobile device, such an USB2 or FireWire drive. The resulting OS X installation can be bootable by both Intel and (recent) PPC Macs. It can also generate custom Mac OS X install DVDs. Hackintosh.com links to everything you need to build a Hackintosh and get macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) as well as many earlier versions of Mac OS X running on an unsupported computer - instructions, step-by-step 'how to' guides, and tutorials - in addition to installation videos, lists of compatible computers and parts, and communities for support. Run macOS Big Sur on unsupported Macs using an intuitive patcher that downloads the necessary files and creates a USB installer, then helps you update the OS Clicker for YouTube Native YouTube player that provides the same functionality as the website in an efficient Swift-based app, with a built-in ad-blocker, sleep timer, pop-out player.
They make this work by using an unmodified version of the application and including an AppleScript that is used to launch it from its portable location. You install the app by copying its folder over to the external storage and that is it! As long as you don't modify the contents of the folder, the application should work fine. To launch the app, click on 'OPEN Portable app name' and the AppleScript will launch in the background, starting the application.Be prepared for the apps to take a little longer to start and do remember that any data or passwords stored using KeyChain are not portable; that stays on the Mac.

Of the applications they are still working on, four are native Mac applications from Apple including Safari, Mail, Address Book and iCal. And while the support forum hasn't been updated in several months, these are worth a look if you're needing to keep applications portable to use on several different Macs.
