- Mac users managing app and command-line updates
- Worth noticing
- Its sample library separates 25 verified updates from eight newer versions and four items left to other installers.
Field notes
The page says Current queries each app’s own update source rather than relying on a central database, with separate descriptions for Sparkle and Electron feeds. Homebrew coverage includes installer packages and links without file extensions. Homebrew and npm tools can be reviewed alongside apps, but the page says they do not update automatically because upgrades can affect project dependencies. Work-managed apps are also listed among items Current leaves alone.
