Bear's Log

While reading The Unofficial Apple Weblog I saw an article on what you should be doing to get ready for Leopard and saw in Step 5, the following:

The easiest way to make sure your applications are up to date is to use the clever AppFresh from metaquark. This application is still in beta, but it already works quite well. It will scan your machine for all the installed applications (including Preference Pane apps) and compare the version numbers to those listed on iusethis.com. It will then allow you to download and install any available updates.

After downloading and giving AppFresh a try, I have to say I really like this app. Not only is it showing me what applications need updating it also shows, and I think this is the real killer feature, it shows how long it’s been since I last used an app. Now I can go thru and clear out my Applications/ folder with confidence. very nice
