When using Mac, in addition to installing App software from the App Store, many people like me also download it from the Internet. Therefore, it is difficult to track each installed software version in the long run and whether it is the latest version. This article is about a very useful free software called LATEST, which can not only track all installed software, but also has a one-click update function.
