I noticed a small problem…..the amount of applications on my 2 macs are heavily increasing (about 12 month mac-usage).

The problem is: how can i get rid of all those updates, new releases, downloading, testing without being forced to play admin 24/7.

Maybe i found a solution today called: AppFresh

Short quote about AppFresh:

AppFresh helps you to keep all applications (third-party and Apple), widgets, preference panes and application plugins on your Mac up to date, from one place. It works by checking the excellent iusethis.com for new versions and lets you download and install available updates easily.

I have noticed that there are several applications with same features….like:

• Widgets
  • App Update
  • Widget Update

…but as i am not even using DashBoard itself….Widgets are not the solution for me.

AppFresh has some nice advantages:

• SnapShot function
• Freeware
• IuseThis integration

If you need for informations about AppFresh take a look into the development blog.

EDIT: if i got it right…the application itself is supposed to get an commercial app, if they have reached a stable level.

• 10.5 ::: Keyboard Firmware Update
• Apple Patchday and 10.4.9
• Apple Security Update 2006-008
