内容总结：

厌倦了每次打开应用都要先更新？一款名为Updatest的软件能帮你一键解决所有应用的更新问题。

这款工具专为Mac用户设计，能全面扫描电脑中的软件并通过Homebrew进行更新——即使软件最初并非通过Homebrew安装。除了支持Homebrew管理的应用，它还能识别并更新使用Sparkle框架的应用、从GitHub下载的软件新版本，以及Mac App Store安装的程序。

使用流程十分简便：用户下载安装后，可选择需要管理的应用类型，软件便会列出系统中所有可更新的应用。既可单独查看每个更新的详情，也能通过“批量更新”功能一键升级所有软件。更新过程可通过内置终端窗口实时查看，也支持后台静默完成。

需注意的是，部分更新可能需要输入密码授权；而Mac App Store的个别应用（如测试中遇到的iPad版应用）仍需跳转至官方商店手动更新。软件提供15天免费试用，个人版授权（支持3台Mac）售价9.99美元，家庭版（支持10台Mac）为19.99美元。对于常被多应用更新提醒困扰的用户，这或许是个高效的解决方案。

你是否厌倦了每次打开应用都要先安装更新？是否希望一次性处理所有更新？Updatest正是为此而生的应用。

我曾介绍过Mac上的Homebrew，这是一款用于安装和更新Mac软件的命令行工具。Updatest能扫描您电脑中的所有软件，并通过Homebrew进行更新——即使这些软件最初并非通过此方式安装。但它的功能不止于此。许多应用使用名为Sparkle的开源工具提供更新，Updatest同样能发现并更新这类应用。该应用还能识别从GitHub下载且有新版本的程序，以及从Mac应用商店获取的任何应用。

简而言之，只要应用存在更新，Updatest就能为您找到并安装。要开始使用，请点击应用官网的下载按钮（若已配置Homebrew也可通过其安装）。应用会简要说明工作原理，询问您希望通过该工具更新哪些类别的应用，并在您未安装Homebrew时提供安装选项。

完成设置后，系统将展示您设备上的所有应用列表。您也可以根据需要筛选仅显示待更新的应用。

点击任意应用可查看更新详情，并在此处执行安装。或者，您可以直接点击搜索栏下方的"批量更新"按钮，一次性更新所有过时应用。通过点击右上角的"终端"按钮，您可以实时观察更新进程；当然，您也可以让应用在后台静默运行，同时处理其他工作。

部分更新需要输入密码，系统会提示您在终端中运行更新命令。

某些情况下，来自Mac应用商店的应用可能无法直接更新——在我的测试中，这类情况多出现在已安装的iPad应用上。此时应用会提供跳转链接，引导您前往应用商店完成更新。

这些细微不便虽难以避免，但并不会造成太大负担。能够在一个界面集中检查所有应用的更新状态，无疑是令人愉悦的体验。如果您感兴趣，可享受15天免费试用期以熟悉应用功能。试用结束后，可选择购买个人许可证（支持3台Mac设备）售价9.99美元，或家庭许可证（支持10台Mac设备）售价19.99美元。

Are you tired of every application you open offering to install an update before you can use it? Do you wish you could take care of all those updates at once? Updatest is an application made for exactly this.
I've talked about Homebrew for Mac, which is a command line tool for installing and updating Mac software. Updatest scans all the software on your computer and updates it using Homebrew, even if you didn't initially install it that way. But there's more. Many applications use an open source tool called Sparkle to offer updates, and Updatest can find and update all of them. The application can also identify applications downloaded from GitHub that have newer releases, along with any application you downloaded from the Mac App Store.
Basically, if an application has updates, Updatest can find them and install them for you. To get started, click the download button on the app's website (you can also install using Homebrew, if you've already set that up). The application will tell you a bit about how it works, ask you which categories of applications you want to update using the tool, and offer to install Homebrew if you haven't done that already.
Once you're done with all of that, you will see a list of all the applications on your system. You can filter to see only the apps that need updates, if you want.
Click any application to learn more about the update. From here you can install the update. Alternatively, you can click the Bulk Update button below the search bar to update all of your outdated applications at once. You can watch the updates happen by clicking the Terminal button in the top-right corner, or you can let the application do its thing while you work on something else.
Some updates require passwords, in which case you'll be asked to run the update command in the Terminal.
And in some cases, applications from the Mac App Store won't update—in my tests, this was mostly iPad apps I've installed. The application will instead give you a link to open the App Store and install the update.
These minor annoyances are inevitable, and not too burdensome. And it's nice to be able to check all of my applications for updates in once place. If you're interested, there's a 15-day free trial, allowing you to get a feel for how the application works. After that you can buy a personal license, which works on up to three Macs, for $9.99; a household license, which works on up to 10 Macs, costs $19.99.
