Version Tracker

Version Tracker — One Dashboard for Every Update on Your Mac

Managing updates on macOS has always been fragmented. GUI apps check for updates on their own schedule. Homebrew, npm, pip, Cargo, and a dozen other package managers each have their own commands. The Mac App Store handles its own corner. Nothing talks to anything else.

Version Tracker solves this by bringing every update source together in one native macOS app.

What it does

Version Tracker continuously monitors 39 update sources — including Homebrew, npm, pip, Cargo, Gems, Docker, Mac App Store, Sparkle-based apps, and more — and presents everything in a single, unified dashboard. You see every outdated app, tool, and package at a glance, with the current version, the latest available version, and the delta between them.

From there, you decide what to update. Selectively trigger individual updates or run them all at once. A live progress log shows exactly what is happening at each step, so nothing is a black box.

Built for developers

Version Tracker is designed for the kind of macOS setup that accumulates over years of development work: multiple package managers, a mix of GUI and CLI tools, language-specific dependencies, and a constant background worry that something is quietly out of date.

It handles the full surface area of a developer's Mac — not just one package manager, not just the App Store.

Security built in

Every app and package tracked by Version Tracker is checked against three layers of security verification: code signing validation, notarization status, and CVE lookups against the NVD (National Vulnerability Database). All checks run entirely on-device. No data is sent anywhere. Your package list, your version history, and your security posture stay on your machine.

Native and fast

Built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI. Runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel. Requires macOS Sequoia (15.0) or later. Designed to feel like a first-party macOS app — not an Electron wrapper, not a web view.

Free tier

The free version scans all 39 sources and gives you full visibility into everything outdated on your Mac. Request a serial number via the sign-up form to get started — no time limit, no feature degradation over time.
