Updatest joins Workbrew and is now free

[Updatest Image](https://preview.redd.it/e3g0asrw2fvh1.png?width=2132&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d42de5cf373483e3e43b4d9f6c5a5bf917ff087)

Hey all. Some of you have been here since the Caskly days, giving feedback when it was rough and sending bug reports at 11pm. You’re a big part of why Updatest exists, so you’re hearing this from me first: Updatest is now free, and I’ve joined[ Workbrew](https://workbrew.com/)’s engineering team.

**Problem**

Updatest keeps the apps on your Mac up to date. The top request lately has been “can my whole company use this?” At work, the problem is bigger: IT and security teams often can’t see what’s installed across every Mac, let alone keep it current.

I've joined[ Workbrew](https://workbrew.com/)'s engineering team to help build exactly that, bringing what I learned building Updatest with me. Workbrew's been chasing that same mission from the company side, so joining forces was the natural move.

Together we've built the[ Workbrew app](https://workbrew.com/blog/workbrew-app). It makes the software catalog for your company real for non-developers, letting organizations deploy, patch, and govern software across every device: Homebrew, npm, Mac apps, browser extensions.

Updatest isn’t going anywhere. It stays available on its own for individuals and families, exactly as it’s always been. Updatest 3.0.0 launches today along side the Updatest Network.

The Updatest app is free, and existing customers can visit [https://updatest.app/](https://updatest.app/) for full details on the Updatest Network and what this means if you've purchased Updatest.

**Comparison**

* **Latest:** Latest is free, but it checks fewer update sources and can’t adopt your apps into Homebrew. Updatest checks more sources, can adopt apps into Homebrew for fuller coverage, and updates your Brew packages too. It also adds the Updatest Network (paid), which covers over 36,000 apps at launch.
* **MacUpdater:** MacUpdater is winding down and shuts down completely at the end of this year. Updatest supports every update source it can find on your Mac, and the Updatest Network covers over 36,000 apps at launch. Coverage should be comparable, but MacUpdater’s database was curated by hand, so there may be a few apps we miss at first. If you find one, tell me.


**Pricing**

* [**Updatest**](https://updatest.app/)**:** Free
* **Updatest Network:** $1.99/month or $12.99/year for users who need additional coverage. Existing license keys include the Network at no extra charge for 1 year (Individual) or 2 years (Household) from October 14, 2026.
* [**Workbrew Team**](https://workbrew.com/free?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=updatest_joins_workbrew&utm_content=r_macapps_2026-10-14)**:** Free for unlimited users and devices, no card required.


Happy to answer whatever in the comments. I’ll be around.

Hotstash 8.1 – clipboard manager where ⌘V pastes your next copied item (Paste Stack). Now imports your Maccy history, Pro 50% off

Hey

I'm the solo dev behind Hotstash, a native clipboard manager for macOS. Just shipped 8.1 and wanted to share.

**The thing I couldn't find anywhere else: Paste Stack**
⌘-click a few items in your history, then every normal ⌘V pastes the *next* one, in order. Great for filling forms or moving a list
between apps without switching windows back and forth.

**What else it does**
\- Search everything you've copied, including text *inside* screenshots (OCR)
\- Folders + pins for snippets you reuse
\- Transforms: format JSON, change case, clean URLs, or describe your own and it builds it
\- iCloud sync to iPhone
\- Keeps rich text and images

**New in 8.1**
\- **Import from Maccy**: brings over your whole history in one click, pins and images included
\- Fixed the menu bar icon sometimes not opening the panel
\- Paste Stack walkthrough in the onboarding tour

**Pricing**
Free to try. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription, and it's **50% off ($4.99) until Jan 1**.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/hotstash-clipboard-manager/id6771842605

Feedback very welcome, especially what's stopping you from switching from your current clipboard manager. I read every comment.

Vehicare: a native Mac car maintenance log that reads your garage's invoices, so you never type an entry

I'm Pascal, the developer of Vehicare. It's a car maintenance log for Mac, iPhone and iPad, and it's out today on the Mac App Store.

Problem

Every maintenance log I tried died the same way. After each trip to the garage you're supposed to type in what was done, what it cost and what the odometer said. I did it twice, then stopped. But the invoice the garage gives you already has all of that.

So in Vehicare you give it the invoice: the PDF your garage emailed you, or a scan of the paper copy. It reads the date, the garage, the odometer and every job with its cost, and you check it before saving. From that history and how much you drive, it works out what's due next.

Invoices are read on your Mac by Apple Intelligence. There's no account, and your data stays in your iCloud. I never see it, unless you email me an invoice it read wrong.

Comparison

Drivvo, one of the most-rated maintenance logs on the App Store: you type every entry yourself, and there's no native Mac app.
CARFAX Car Care fills in your history for you, but only from shops in its US network. Vehicare reads the invoice from any garage, in any language supported by Apple Intelligence. Carfax has no native Mac app either.

Pricing

Free for your first vehicle, invoice reading included. A one-time purchase of $19.99 (US) unlocks every vehicle, PDF and CSV export, and removes the small ad card. No subscription. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6752880353

Needs macOS 26.4 or later and Apple Intelligence, so a Mac with Apple silicon. In English and French.

Happy to answer anything here. And if it reads one of your invoices wrong, the review form has a button to email it to me. That's the most useful feedback I can get.

Req simple graphical interface app to schedule sleep and wake times

Apple made the idiotic decision to remove the GUI functionality to set your sleep/wake/shutdown/restart times in Venture. I want a simple GUI app that does this.

I found what I thought was the perfect replacement app called Schedule (http://bmaillard.free.fr/programmer/), unfortunately it doesn't work, it won't remember your settings when you click Apply (I've tried all the troubleshooting).

I know Onyx has this ability but it's inconvenient: takes forever for the program to open and you you have to put in your password every time.

I'm hoping theres a simple program like the above that just works.
