    Indiscutivelmente a melhor alternativa para manter os softwares macOS atualizados. Fico triste apenas por não conseguir usar no meu MacBook Pro com macOS Sierra.

    I like Homebrew, but it doesn't provide a comprehensive scanning capability to identify installed apps that need updates. It only manages updates for Homebrew-installed apps.

    Patch My PC works great on Windows, but there's no macOS version; MacUpdater, believe it or not, updates only Mac.
