Everything that needs updating, in one list

🔄

One place for every update

Homebrew, Cask, Mac App Store, and Sparkle/Electron feeds in a single list.

📥

Move to Homebrew

Hand a manually-downloaded app to Homebrew — if a cask exists — without reinstalling. Future updates then show up automatically.

🧩

Install new apps

Browse popular picks or search Homebrew, and install right from Kegwatch.

🧹

Clean uninstall

Remove an app and its leftovers for good — Homebrew casks with a full cleanup, or hand-installed apps scanned and sent to the Trash.

⏰

Automatic scans

On launch, every few hours, daily, or a custom schedule — with notifications when updates are found.

🤖

Automatic updates

Optionally let Kegwatch install updates for you after each scan, skipping anything that needs a password.

📊

Menu bar

See pending updates at a glance, without opening the app.

🗓

Update history

See everything you've updated, with a running “N updates this month” summary.

💾

Migrate & back up

Export your apps to a Brewfile and reinstall them all on another Mac.

How it works

Find what's outdated

Never update by hand

Move hand-installed apps under Homebrew, so they update with everything else.

Buy me a beer 🍺

Kegwatch is free and always will be. If it saved you some time, a beer helps keep it brewing.
