  The MacPorts website

  

I switched to MacPorts after becoming tired of Brew tainting my filesystem.

MacPorts keeps things clean in /opt/local.

  The US federal government's web traffic.

  

Data from analytics.usa.gov [1] reveals that Chrome leads browser usage at 48%, closely followed by Safari at 35.7%, highlighting the competitive proximity of Safari to Chrome. Definitely much higher share than I thought.

• Latest

  24 2,531 9.0 Swift

  A small utility app for macOS that makes sure you know about all the latest updates to the apps you use.

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.

• Ferdium

  216 2,520 9.1 TypeScript

  Ferdium is a desktop app that helps you organize how you use your favourite apps by combining them into one application.

  

Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS.
