02 / Menu bar

Updates stay close, even when the window is closed.

Update Atlas can keep running in the menu bar. See the update count and open an item’s appropriate update action from the list.

03 / Managed components

See what lives inside an app.

Extensions and helper components stay with the app that manages them. For example, Visual Studio Code extensions appear beneath Code instead of becoming unrelated top-level apps.

04 / Game clients

Games belong in the picture too.

Find supported game clients such as Steam, GOG Galaxy, and Epic Games. Managed games remain associated with their client, so you know where their updates come from.

05 / Command line

At home in Terminal, too.

Use the bundled CLI to scan, check updates, and read structured JSON. Offline scans use local information only; output is suitable for scripts and AI assistants you choose to connect.

Terminal

Privacy

Your Mac stays yours.

Update Atlas has no usage analytics or automatic inventory upload. Scanning reads local software information; update checks contact the relevant sources when needed.

A JSON coverage report is optional. You can inspect it, save it locally, or send it yourself. Nothing is submitted merely because you scanned.

Availability

Free to use. Still in private testing.

A public download is not available yet. Update Atlas runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. For release news or questions, use the support page. No ads or usage tracking. The source code will be published after the license and release checks are complete.
