MacUpdater is a utility for macOS that scans your installed applications and identifies which ones have available updates. It can automatically download and install updates for applications from their vendors, saving users from manually checking for updates across dozens of apps. MacUpdater supports both direct-download and Mac App Store apps, and displays useful metadata like whether each app is Intel-native, Universal Binary or Apple Silicon-native. It was widely used by power users and system administrators to keep software current and secure with minimal effort.

1 suggestionMacUpdater has been officially discontinued by CoreCode as of January 1, 2026. The final release, version 3.5, is unsupported and CoreCode has stopped all daily maintenance and update verification. While the app technically still works and runs natively on Apple Silicon (you can continue using version 3.5 for free), its core feature—tracking the latest app versions and verifying updates—is no longer maintained, meaning the update database will become increasingly stale and unreliable over time. As a replacement, consider Softorino AppShelf or SetApp for managed app updating, or monitor updates manually using built-in system tools (System Settings → General → Software Update) combined with app-specific notifications. If you need to identify which of your installed apps have native Apple Silicon builds, Activity Monitor's "Kind" column or the free app Go64 can show this information without relying on MacUpdater's discontinued database.
