New Windows apps and games
Enpass Password Manager (free)
The free version of Enpass has been converted with the help of the Desktop App Converter. It has the same interface as the desktop program, and supports the same feature set.
A simple application for desktop PCs and mobile devices to get accident, traffic jam and police warnings for any location.
It can be used not only to receive warnings, but also to issue warnings to other users of the application.

This game is free to play but limited to two missions. Campaigns are available as paid modules that expand the story in episodes.
A new torrent client for Windows 10 devices. Very simple to use, but lacks functionality that clients such as Torrex or desktop torrent clients offer (such as changing ports, bandwidth management, blocking IPs).
