The Problem

Keeping macOS apps updated is a mess

With MacUpdater discontinued and no built-in solution in macOS, keeping third-party apps updated is harder than ever. Security vulnerabilities pile up, new features are missed, and manually checking each app is tedious.

"macOS still has no system-level updater for third-party apps." — Community Discussion
"Outdated software is one of the most common sources of security vulnerabilities." — Security Expert
