Software updating is TOUGH! We covered how to get SMS Updates when your software has a wating update, but even that option is too complicated.
A "new to me" software pick is AppFresh. Totally free, this program scans your hard drive and comparing to a database on "iUseThis" it will notify you if any of your applications need to be updated. Not only will AppFresh tell you the new version number it will also download and INSTALL the updates if you want.
How do you keep track of the latest versions for all your installed applications? Apple's built-in Software Update helps keep software like iTunes and Mac OS X updated, but what about the rest? A lot of applications on your Mac don't include their own update checker and even if they do, they don't work from a central place. We believe updating an application should not be done at the moment you want to use it. That's why AppFresh provides a central place to control the software updates available to your Mac, integrating most popular and most common update checking technologies such as Apple Software Update, Sparkle, Microsoft AutoUpdate, Adobe Updater, osx.iusethis.com and more.
But to top it off AppFresh also checks Widgets, PrefPanes, and Plugins on your machine making sure you always have the fresh feeling!
