On a regular basis, Apple World Today posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they’re popular and deserve mention. Here are today’s picks.
macOS Apps/Updates
CoreCode has announced MacUpdater 1.2.7, a new version of the app updating utility for macOS.

MacUpdater runs silently in the background, notifying users when an update is available. No registration is required, and app usage isn’t tracked in any way.
MacUpdate requires macOS 10.11 or later. It’s a free download and is available worldwide exclusively through the CoreCode website. Users can scan for updates for free and update up to 10 apps for free. It costs $9.99 to unlock the ability to update additional apps.
