New in 1.5
Your app data kept safe, App Store updates in the same list, and your MacUpdater choices brought along.
Backups
Your app data, kept
Greypaint copies an app's settings and data before it updates, daily or weekly, or when you ask. Roll back a version and take its data with it. Earlier versions and removed apps live on the same page.
App Store Beta
App Store apps update here
They download and install in the same list, with progress. The App Store is one click away if one fails.
Moving from MacUpdater
Your choices come along
Greypaint offers to copy the apps and updates you ignored in MacUpdater.
It reads the update feed
each app already has.
It checks Sparkle, Homebrew, GitHub, and the App Store, and answers in one list.
appcast1.13.7→1.14.0
Sparkle appcasts
The feed most indie Mac apps already publish.

Homebrew casks
Whatever you installed with brew, without a terminal.

GitHub releases
For the apps that ship straight from a repository.
receipt26.28.75→26.34.74
Mac App Store
Counted here. Greypaint installs the update itself (beta). The App Store is there if it fails.
Whatever you already have
Any other app on your Mac.
Command-line tools, too.
Homebrew, npm, pnpm and uv, in the same window. It shows what's out of date and updates only what you tick. See what's covered
