This is accomplished by downloading a regularly-updated list of applications and their download URLs from the Ninite servers each time the program is run. Ninite's installer always downloads the latest version of the program. When run, the installer downloads and installs the selected programs. It presents the user with a list of programs and generates a custom installer executable based on the user's selection. Alternatively, a cheaper albeit less robust version of Ninite Pro known as Ninite Updater is available for users who want the ability of one-click updates without the other features offered by Ninite Pro.

A paid version, Ninite Pro, is available for professional use.

It enables users to make a selection from a list of applications and bundles the selection into a single installer package. Ninite ( / ˈ n ɪ n aɪ t/ codenamed Volery during private beta stage) is a package management system offering that enables users to automatically install popular applications for their Windows operating system.
