Though we may not see it, we use many applications regularly. From your browser, to your favorite note-taking app, these all are individual application packages. Since they are independently developed, fixes and upgrades to your apps may be irregular.
And updating applications you often use is important, especially for security reasons. There may be a bug or security vulnerability fixed, which you may not be privy to at release time (or a zero-day, which is a vulnerability that is exploited well before its officially known and fixed).
If you use your computer regularly and use many programs and apps, updating all of them can be a hassle. Especially if you have lots of programs and apps on your computer.
These tools help you update multiple applications at once by creating a small package app that runs the update.
Windows
For Windows, Ninite may be for you. Ninite updates a list of programs of your choice at once within once single interface.
With Ninite, your chosen programs get installed with no extra, junk optional addons, and works in the background. No more going through many windows updating each app one at a time.

Mac
If you’re Mac based, there is an alternative called macapps.link. It works somewhat similar to Ninite.
It obtains the official download file for each of your desired apps, allowing for easy installation of many apps. You can also update your apps with this new file too.
You select your desired apps, and choose the Install button at the top right.
In this sample image, we have Google Chrome, Evernote, and Dropbox. The choosing the “Install 3 apps” button on the top right will supply the packaged file ready to download and run.
