Heimdal Free Software Updater vs macCurrent

Heimdal Free Software Updater has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

macCurrent is a free macOS app that finds updates across the Mac App Store, Homebrew, Sparkle, vendor updaters, Tauri, reviewed direct downloads, and macOS Software Update. It scans installed applications and command-line tools, storing inventory details locally on the Mac. Depending on the source, it can update automatically, hand work to a trusted tool, provide manual guidance, or exclude system-managed components. Eligible direct replacement updates can be backed up, with retention configurable up to three backups per app identity. Per-app history may record scans, backups, installs, restores, failures, and manual handoffs. Before replacing an app, macCurrent checks bundle identity and signing-team match, rejects served downgrades, and verifies Sparkle archives against the installed app’s EdDSA key. It supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 15 or later. Usage Analytics is opt-in.
