Workflow
Run a quick or deep scan across apps and package sources without sending your app inventory to a hosted dashboard.
Sort by app, status, version, last updated date, or action so the next step is obvious.
Create a polished HTML report with icons, readable dates, and a table that still works after you share or archive it.
Coverage
A practical mix of native app discovery and update sources, tuned for the way macOS users actually install software.
Installed app bundles, versions, build numbers, icons, and update support signals.
Formulae and casks, including outdated packages that need attention.
Store-managed apps surfaced beside the rest of your local inventory.
Supported third-party app feeds checked during standard and deep scans.
Office apps use Microsoft AutoUpdate state so Word, Excel, and PowerPoint report accurately.
Configurable logging levels, clear history, and a no-logging mode when you want the sidebar quieter.
Built for repeat checks
Track installed versions, latest versions, and update status across local apps, Homebrew, Mac App Store, and Sparkle feeds.
Separate what is current, outdated, supported, or needs manual attention so update decisions stay simple.
Use configurable logging, clear history when needed, or turn logging off entirely for a quieter sidebar.
Exportable reports
Nexar exports a polished HTML report with app icons, status labels, version columns, human-readable update dates, and sortable table headers.
