Cyman Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi everybody, I thought of a way to keep my HDD clean and only have the latest version of an application on it, so I do not have to download the latest version manually every time. So, my idea was, if there is an application that can do this with a user specified list of applications that are stored on the hard drive and which the program is keeping updated by sporadically searching on the developers site or sites like Macupdate or Versiontracker. I would like to know if there is such a piece of software or (if) only for installed software, not the plain archives/installer files. Does anyone know by coincidence about such an application? This would be really great and save me a lot of time! Thx.

rlf Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 AppFresh http://metaquark.de/appfresh How about using Versiontracker and MacUpdate to find similar apps? That is what they are for. Also try pure-mac.com and HyperJeff http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139605-application-searching-for-specified-software-updates/#findComment-988709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 There used to be one called Extended Software Update, but it required developers to inject said code into their projects. So, nobody did it aside from the company itself. That is the major issue with these kinds of products--people feel like it shouldn't be injected into THEIR product.

SHADO5 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 There's a dashboard widget that does that called "Application Update".
