Latest
Updates for every app
open sourceSystem
Latest is a unified update center for macOS: it scans App Store apps, Homebrew casks, and apps with their own updaters (Sparkle), showing everything in one list with "Update" buttons. No more opening each app to check its version.
// Install
Your MacHomebrew in /opt/homebrew
brew install --cask latest// What it is for
- Checks for updates to apps installed outside the App Store — the ones that stay quiet about new versions
- Shows the changelog before updating, not after
- Updates in a batch instead of making you open every app in turn
- Free and open source
// Common questions
Do I need it if everything came from Homebrew?
No: brew outdated and brew upgrade cover exactly this for casks. Latest earns its place when some apps were downloaded by hand from vendor sites.
Does it update apps on its own?
Updates run on your command — it never touches software unasked. That is deliberate: silent auto-updates and a suddenly broken work tool tend to travel together.
