I've been using MacUpdater from Core Code for a few years and it's been fantastic. And it's a one-time purchase and no subscription.

MacUpDateDesktop 0.4.2 is not ready for prime time, but they already want $10 to use it. I had serious crashes and error messages on my M4 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 16.3.1 OS. I provided screenshots to the developer. This is beta software – they should not be charging for it yet. I am guessing it may be another 4-8 weeks before we see MacUpdate Desktop ready for prime time. I am glad to see it coming back. Meanwhile I will uninstall it unless the developer wants to contact me as a beta tester.

Is there some way to queue up a bunch of updates to be done, rather than have to do each one-at-a-time, waiting until one update finishes before initiating an update of the next? If so, how? If not, that is very time-frittering as compared with a rival update app for macos.

I was a huge fan of the Mac update app for a long time, and there are some significant positives to it in its new implementation. However, for me running OS 10.3.1 the application isn’t yet stable. For instance, on my first attempt, I was able to update two applications, after that the system erred over and over, even after multiple restarts of the application and the Mac. I look forward to there being significant improvement with the beta test.
