macOS 14 or later
macCurrent requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Newer macOS releases are supported by the same beta build.
macCurrent
A focused Mac utility for finding installed apps, tracking updates across multiple sources, and keeping scheduled scan results ready when you open the app.
The beta is free. Requires macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon or Intel Macs. Beta builds are signed, notarized, and expire 30 days after release; use Check for Updates or download the latest build when one expires.
Inventory
Direct, App Store, Homebrew, and vendor apps
Automation
Scheduled scans and update notifications
Beta access
Free during beta
Product preview
See updates and activity for each installed app
Review current versions, update status, recent download and install activity, and app details from the same focused workspace.
System requirements
One universal beta for modern Macs
Apple silicon Macs
The universal DMG includes a native Apple silicon app slice for M-series Macs.
Intel Macs
The same DMG also includes an Intel app slice, so supported Intel Macs can run macCurrent without a separate download.
Homebrew and mas are optional. Installing them enables richer Homebrew and App Store update checks, but macCurrent can still scan installed apps without them.

What it does
Designed for real Mac app inventories
App coverage
Scan application bundles and classify direct-download, Mac App Store, Homebrew cask, Homebrew formula, vendor-managed, and system apps.
Status filters
Filter the inventory by Current, Update Available, App Store Managed, Unknown, Installed, and other states so the next action is easy to find.
Version context
Compare installed versions and builds against catalog, Sparkle, Homebrew, App Store, Microsoft AutoUpdate, and vendor metadata where available.
Light and dark
Use macOS System, Light, or Dark appearance modes from Settings, including a softer light-mode background.
Update workflows
Update from the right source
Direct app updates
Download trusted direct updates and validate replacement apps against bundle identifiers and signing team identifiers before install.
Homebrew and CLI tools
Detect Homebrew casks and formulae, show installed command-line tools, and use Homebrew to upgrade supported packages.
App Store and Microsoft apps
Use mas for App Store update visibility and route supported Microsoft updates through Microsoft AutoUpdate.
Background checks
Keep results fresh without opening the app first
Choose a schedule
Run scans on startup, daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom day interval from Settings.
Scan in the background
A Launch Agent starts the macCurrent executable directly, updates local results, and exits when the scan is done.
Get notified
When notifications are enabled, macCurrent can alert you when one update or multiple updates are found.
Beta feedback
Built for fast beta feedback
Submit an issue from the beta sidebar with text, screenshots, and optional privacy-scoped diagnostics. Reports flow into the beta triage process so false positives, catalog gaps, update failures, and UI issues can be reviewed.
Privacy
Catalog lookups send bundle IDs only
Self-updates
Use Check for Updates to move to the latest beta
Compatibility
Universal app for macOS 14+ on Apple silicon and Intel
Clean uninstall
Owned support files and launch agents are removed when deleted
