Latest is a free, open-source macOS utility that checks whether your installed apps are up to date, aggregating updates from the Mac App Store and Sparkle-based apps. It provides a unified overview of release notes and lets you update apps directly from the app.

Use cases

  • check for mac app updates in one place
  • update all installed macos apps at once
  • see release notes for recent app updates
  • find outdated apps that use sparkle updates
  • keep mac app store apps up to date

When to choose

  • you use many mac apps from different sources and want a single update checker
  • you want a free, open-source alternative to manual update checking
  • you want to read release notes before updating apps

When to avoid

  • you only use Mac App Store apps and are happy with the built-in updater
  • you need update management on Linux or Windows
  • you need enterprise-wide software deployment and patch management
