![]() if we weren't so busy 24/7 making sure that MacUpdater is awesome, we'd probably have looked into some antitrust lawsuit by now.Check the introduction of Outlook and how to download Microsoft Outlook for Windows 10/11 PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android. there is simply nothing similar that has more than 3 users.Īccording to antitrust laws, monopolies are not allowed to block competitors in that way. I think it would be their good right not to list competitor-apps on their site, except the fact that they have a monopoly on the 'Mac App Listing, News & Discovery' market. they are really doing a great service to Mac users. The fact that they list 30.000 Mac apps, and the only 2 apps they don't list are direct competitors to their 'MacUpdate Desktop 6' is probably no coincidence - they also killed 'AppFresh' this way back in the day. It is true that both 'MacUpdater' and 'Latest' are largely unknown because this particular popular website does not list them. > It's crazy that these exist and I've never heard of them… > I had not heard of this app, perhaps because… if you have some questions about our app, i'd be happy to answer them. Glad to see MacUpdater (and our rant about the Mac App Store) mentioned here. ![]() Apple is quite rotten here & there, and I welcome ever solution that avoids software products by Apple. If you look at the roadmap, they will eventually support installing MAS apps too, which would be a godsend, because ever since moving to a new Mac, the MAS simply ignores updates of some of the apps I bought on the old Mac: I always have to uninstall and re-install them. And last, but not least, you can ask CoreCode to add apps to their database, if they've missed some special/obscure software. Sure, those are already a lot of apps covered, and it's free, but with the license for MacUpdater you get support for apps distributed via Sparkle, MAS, Homebrew Cask, individual developer appcasts, releases via GitHub etc., and CoreCode also maintain their own database of apps, which includes apps that users have installed/updated manually… even some of my own Platypus apps have found their way into the CoreCode database. I have only had a quick look Latest, and it only covers app that use the Sparkle framework plus apps that are from the Mac App Store. I have only really tried MacUpdater, and it's become one of my essential tools to have on the Mac. by polling Sparkle feeds, but I haven’t heard about it in a long time.Īpp Store Rejection Mac Mac App Mac App Store macOS 10.14 Mojave MacUpdate MacUpdater I think there used to be another app that did this, e.g. The MacUpdater database has information about the latest versions of more than 30.000 apps (see FAQ).

Just launch it and let it scan your apps. Nothing could be easier than finding out which of your apps are out-of-date with MacUpdater. (Besides the similar name, it competes with their Desktop product.) I had not heard of this app, perhaps because it’s not listed on MacUpdate, either. Meanwhile, Apple continues to distribute dozens of apps that are malware, or are from known Malware vendors! ![]() While our users tell us that MacUpdater is the best app they have found in years, Apple rejected it from inclusion into the Mac App Store, because it is not ‘useful enough’.
