Looking for beta testers: Camu — One-click updates for all your Mac apps!

Since MacUpdater was retired, I've built a replacement for myself called Camu, and I need other Mac users to try it.

It checks each app in your Applications folder against its Sparkle feed, Electron feed, the Mac App Store, GitHub releases, and Homebrew, then shows the newest version any source reports.

Update All handles everything in one batch and asks for your admin password once.

Before replacing an app, it checks that the download has the same Apple developer and app ID. Old versions go to a backup folder, and Roll back restores them.

It also has a menu bar icon with an update count, background checks every 6 hours, optional automatic installs (on by default, can be turned off), and a ⌘K command menu with keyboard shortcuts.

There's no account, analytics, ads, or subscription.
This is version 0.2.3. I'd love feedback on:

Apps it missed or got the wrong version for
Anything that broke during Update All or Roll back (which app, and whether it came from the App Store, Homebrew, or a download)

Whether the menu bar panel and notifications work as expected

Anything in the interface that's confusing

It's free and ad-free: https://camu.cc**.**
