Frequently asked questions

Can I see what’s new in each update?

Yes. Updater provides the latest “What’s New” release notes for each application before you update.

  • App Store
  • Developer websites
  • Homebrew
  • Sparkle
  • Electron
  • Squirrel
  • GitHub

Does App Cleaner & Uninstaller support “One-Click” updates?

Is Updater from App Cleaner & Uninstaller a good replacement for MacUpdater?

Yes, Updater in App Cleaner & Uninstaller scans your Mac for outdated apps and shows them in a clear list, just like MacUpdater did. With MacUpdater support ending January 1, 2026, our tool helps you maintain the same habit without losing functionality –  though it’s integrated into a full app management tool.
