A useful answer, not just a number

Know what you have.
Know what it means.

Update Atlas connects each item to its update source. It keeps managed components with their parent app, and separates verified updates from checks that could not be completed.

01

A wider inventory

Find applications, game clients, command-line tools, packages, and selected virtual-machine environments in one place.

02

The right owner

See whether an update belongs to the app itself, the App Store, Homebrew, or another supported manager.

03

Honest results

If a source cannot be checked, it stays unresolved. “Up to date” means a comparison was actually made.

You stay in control

Scan first.
Choose what’s next.

Inventory scans are read-only. Update checks may contact supported sources. An eligible installation starts only after you choose an action and confirm it.

  1. 01
    Discover

    See software and the components it manages.

  2. 02
    Check

    Compare versions with supported, identifiable sources.

  3. 03
    Act

    Open the right app or store, or confirm an eligible update.

Installation support is still being tested. Scanning never silently installs third-party updates.

Terminal included

The same picture from the command line.

The bundled CLI can return structured inventory and update results for scripts and AI assistants. Offline mode uses only local facts.
