Evergreen's whole interface is localized into 8 languages — it follows your Mac and speaks your language out of the box. No setup, nothing to switch on.
It scans the apps installed on your Mac and matches each one against a curated database of the latest released versions — apps from the web, Homebrew casks and developer update feeds, not just the Mac App Store. No guesswork, no scraping sketchy sites.
You're in control. The default is Download-only mode: Evergreen fetches the new version and you click Update when it suits you. Prefer hands-off? Turn on automatic updates per app or for everything.
The apps the Mac App Store can't update for you — direct downloads, indie tools, developer apps, Homebrew casks. If you installed it from a website, Evergreen most likely tracks it.
No. One-time purchase, yours forever. You get free updates within the same major version (all of 1.x). Major upgrades may be paid, and only if you choose to take them.
Yes. Before installing, Evergreen verifies the developer's code signature, so you never run a tampered or fake update. It only downloads from each app's official source.
Up to 2 Macs you own, with a single license. Enter the key on each and you're set.
Everything runs on your Mac. No account, no sign-up, and zero telemetry about which apps you have installed. The only network activity is fetching version info and the updates themselves.
