Latest

Latest is a macOS utility that scans the system for installed applications and reports which of them have newer versions available. It aggregates update information for software obtained from the Mac App Store as well as for apps that employ the Sparkle framework, covering a broad portion of the macOS ecosystem. The app presents a concise list of pending updates, allowing users to see which programs have changed and to initiate the update process directly from the interface.

In addition to showing pending updates, Latest can display release notes for applications that are already current, giving users a quick reference to what has been added or fixed in recent releases. The information is rendered in a uniform visual style, making it easy to compare changes across multiple programs.

The tool also includes Touch Bar integration, enabling navigation of the update list and execution of bulk updates without relying on a mouse or keyboard. It is offered as free, open‑source software for macOS and is considered stable for everyday use.
