Where Does MacUpdater Store Data on Mac?
MacUpdater tracks installed apps with a local database plus scan preferences on Mac systems. Scan results rebuild from installed apps.
Last updated
MacUpdater keeps its app database and preferences in standard Mac Library folders. Scan results record installed versions against known releases. Prefs decide scan scope and ignored entries.
Back up prefs plus support data to move the setup. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm in-app when paths differ. Rescanning rebuilds the database from scratch when copies disagree.
