Becoming The Best App Updater

Caskly?|

No New Purchase Required

Your existing Caskly license entered into Updatest just works.

Caskly began as a tool to migrate manually installed apps into Homebrew's management and bring Homebrew to the masses. Mission accomplished.

It already tracked updates, but migration was the primary goal. Now, updates are the star of the show. Sparkle, Mac App Store* and Homebrew Casks updates. That's what Updatest is built for.

Being seen as "just a Homebrew tool" didn't reflect reality. Updatest is the definitive update manager for macOS, handling all your apps from one beautiful, unified interface.

The new name makes our mission crystal clear: being the best all-in-one update manager available. Updatest's name is a play on "Update to latest."

*Just like Caskly, Mac App Store updates require Homebrew and MAS CLI to be installed.

Rebuilt from the ground up.

Updatest is a complete rewrite of Caskly, keeping everything you loved while adding powerful new capabilities and a refined, Mac App Store-inspired interface.

Mac App Store-inspired design

Clean, intuitive interface that feels right at home on macOS. Designed beautifully for macOS 26 (and macOS 15).

Run in Terminal Options

Run commands automatically in Terminal via button press where required for adoptions, updates, and Brew/MAS installation. Also offers copy & paste command alternatives.

Private Frameworks? Nope.

No direct reliance on macOS Private Frameworks inside of Updatest which can be changed at any time or unreliable. Instead, uses the most popular community driven CLI tools Homebrew and MAS CLI if installed.

Menu Bar functionality

See, check and review all updates and more directly from your macOS menu bar. A quick glance is all it takes.

Every line of code rethought

Built from the ground up with modern architecture for smoother performance, faster updates, and more graceful error handling.

Release notes

See what's new in each update directly in the app where applicable.

Smarter app-to-cask mapping

Multi-point verification to find the correct cask for your apps, reducing errors and misidentifications.

Third-party Tap support for manual Cask entry

Manually add casks from custom Homebrew taps.

Update detection from multiple sources

Always get the latest update from the source providing the most recent update.

Privileged Helper? Nope.

No longer requires a seperate admin permission to run Brew sudo commands, and doesn't rely on a Privileged Helper which is a security risk. Instead, run in terminal options are provided for better security.

...and so much more
