Latest VS hammerspoon

Relevant and related is the free (donations accepted) program called Latest.app which scans your installed applications and summarises all apps which use Sparkle and have available updates. It's neat.

App called latest https://github.com/mangerlahn/Latest

I don’t know why or how this could work, but might as well give it a shot. Install Latest and see if it manages to update your apps.

You can use this little and wonderful app called Latest. It will update all your apps (even them downloaded from Safari) with one click.

You confused it for Latest :D

Latest – update all of your apps in one place, without opening the App Store.

Latest (Open source) - A lightweight app to keep all other apps updated, even the ones that weren't installed from the Mac App Store. Works like a charm.

Latest checks for updates for your installed apps and installs them directly

There’s also https://max.codes/latest/ which is free and decent, but obviously I prefer MacUpdater.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.
